Leave a Review Cardhop Contacts
Good App
I have been using this since I saw an early review of it in a Mac / iOS publication.
It is a very nice app and is being updated regularly, and will I am sure keep improving. I recommend it.nick_cayman

Thank you!Awesome app just needs a few tweaks
Excellent app I love the UI and the simplicity of the whole thing. The birthday thing is cool but let’s be honest we don’t really need that in a contacts app. We have FB for that. Please make that into a dedicated tabs for groups. It’s a bit tedious to type in a slash than the name of the group, if we could simply just tap the tab or swipe to get to groups it would be perfect that’s pretty much all we need. Thanks! Keep up the good work!Show lessTonyG1023
So far so good
The app is well polished and functional. Although the app elements all feel too big and fit less information on the screen. Like the search bar at the bottom is too large it eats up the screen real estate. Wish there was a way to hide or show it on demand like in the ios settings app. The contacts list view is also blown up in size. I have hundreds of contacts and would like to quickly scroll through them (yes i could search but sometimes this is easier). If we could reduce the height of the contact item in list view and fit more contacts in that space then that would be wonderful. Could you please add sort by groups.Show lessakhilesh vimjam

Thanks for the review and feedback :)A luxury, but worth it
The vanilla iOS Contacts app is fine, but I’m always happy to pay for solid, well-designed software, and Cardhop is certainly that. The natural language input is great, the ‘prefix’ feature in search is very useful (‘Large’, for example - try it!), and overall, it’s just a carefully-considered app. Sync between iOS and OS X is perfect, via iCloud.Show lessmarktripney

Thank you!Beatiful
Finally, a great contact manager for iOS. Integrates perfectly, and does all the things I wish the apple app could and more. Looks way better and replaces the stock app outright, seamlessly. So well done.bumblebee303

Thanks for your review!Has potential. Some glaring omissions
It’s quick. But it’s a little fiddly and counterintuitive.
For example, Groups functionality is poorly handled in iOS and CardHop just replicates that behavior, missing a great opportunity: go to groups, select a Group, hit Done to view contacts for only one Group. Want to go back to viewing all contacts? You need to go back to Groups, select All Contacts and then Done again. Actually being able to select a Group for rapid access and then just cancel that selection to revert to All contacts would be much more useful.
(And still on Groups, speeding up group texts or calls or emails with the app’s natural language would be very useful “Message Jim and Samantha”, or at least being able to multi select contacts in a Group for a specific action (think work emails) would be incredible)
Glaring omission: in the default iOS Contacts you can set WhatsApp CALL as a favorite. CardHop is limited to selecting WhatsApp message. No idea why since the app does offer call option for 3rd party apps like Skype and RingCentral.
Hopefully this will be added soon?Show lessbeelthebob

Thanks for the review and feedback :) You can email or message entire groups, just type "Mail /groupname subject" into Cardhop's search bar and complete the action in your default mail app. (you can also do this with Messages). As for WhatsApp calling, WhatsApp doesn’t support calling from other apps. The default iOS Contacts app uses the system framework for calls to start the call action, but we can’t do that in Cardhop due to iOS restrictions.Great App - love Categories and Birthdays
I was looking for some way to allocate contacts to categories on the iPhone. This does it easily
I also love being able to see a list of all birthdays in one place.
Would love it if I could do something with the individual birthdays. Schedule reminders. Highlight important birthdays. Schedule a message to be sent later.
Great AppShow lessAdrianQ

Thanks for the review and feedback :)Extremly pretty but laggy
The app is very very pretty, it shows contacts in a nice way and have a decent amount of customization options. I highly recommend it, that’s how the apple contacts app should have been since the beginning.
However, it’s very laggy on my i6s+, I don’t know if it’s because the phone is old but it doesn’t seems very optimized.
The contact pictures are also too small, there are enough space to enlarge them while scrolling and on the contact page. Too wasted space!
Contacts picture also are not instantly loaded if you scroll, it’s not a huge issue but it’s annoying nonethelessShow lessiDennis92

Thanks for the review and feedback. Try updating to version 1.1.Really good addition to iOS and Mac workflow
Great work. Love it. Business card is a very nice unexpected feature. Many other great features.
This app clearly took some careful crafting. Thanks!ageerev

Thanks for the review :) Our next update (1.0.5) should fix this unusual issue for you. If not, please contact support.Nice in theory, too slow for real life
Great to have a more powerful alternative to Contacts, which I’ve been missing since development on Interact stopped. This app is similar, but prettier and more advanced.
The developers need to focus on speed, speed, and speed again if this app is going to serve its intended purpose as a starting point for all contact communications. Right now it takes 5-10 seconds at every launch of the app for any contacts to appear. I don’t know who’s fault the bottleneck is (Apple iOS or the app) but it prevents the app for working as it is supposed to.Show lessLuckysClub

Thanks for the review :) Please update to version 1.0.1, which fixes most of the issues reported by users. The 'Untitled Account' name thing you mention is actually a limitation of iOS (which doesn't let us read your actual account names). The good news is that you can easily rename any of your accounts in Cardhop's settings > Default account > Edit.
