Useful, but some annoying design choices
This is a pretty useful app, it works well to add a new contact with some pasted information since you can just add everything inline and Cardhop parses our the details. It’s nice to have a recents view.
One thing I hate: I have birthday notifications on, it shows a tiny photo of the contact, a Haptic Touch or 3D Press (long press) expands the card but displays a large animated cake. I don’t need to see (the same) animated cake for every birthday notification, I know it’s that person’s birthday, that’s the point of the “x person’s birthday is in x days” text. I *would* however like to see a larger version of that person’s contact photo *and* the date of their birthday displayed prominently in the expanded view. Also I would like to snooze the birthday notification in case I’m not ready to act on it in that moment. It’s emblematic of how this developer’s version of “pretty” animations overtakes functionality, and they appear (based on an email exchange) to be set in stone about the Haptic Touch birthday animation.
The word that most describes this developer is stubborn, and unwilling to consider how their software is actually used. It’s a shame, because there’s much more potential for this app imo, but they’re holding it back by mostly sticking with how it functioned in the 1.0 release.

Thank you for your review and feedback. We have passed this to our team so they can keep it in mind going forward.
Wonderful Contacts Replacement
I’ve been using Cardhop for several years now, and have never looked back. It’s beautifully crafted, and makes a more Apple-like app than Apple’s own Contacts. It also works with the same database. Open it for the first time and all of your contacts are right there. If you work with your contacts you should give it a go. There’s absolutely nothing to lose!

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.

Puts competition to shame
I searched for personal crms and contacts but never found this which puts them all to shame . Pls update your seo. It’s user friendly, visually pleasing whole having great ux and non intrusive pricing .its perfect, for now .

Thank you for your feedback! We really appreciate it.
On principle
It has been 3 years and 25 updates since the last review (update history doesn’t go further back!!).
At that point it’s better to do an internal survey for everyone using fantastical (I am trying that app now) and completely refreshing the app (new name or card hopper 2 etc).
Until I get a better opinion I will leave this on 5 star, on principle, for your “no man’s sky” level of dev effort (look it up 😊)
