Cardu is an app for loyalty and member cards. Cardu will tell you what the membership or loyalty program is all about: what the benefits are, where to get them and what’s included in the membership. Note: Cardu content is currently available only in Finland and nearby areas. WALLET — YOUR LOYALTY AND MEMBER CARDS Wallet includes all loyalty and member cards saved to Cardu. You can easily find your membership card in the Wallet when you need it. It’s also possible to store your coupons and stamp cards in the wallet—this way, you will find them easily when you need them. SERVICES — FROM WHERE CAN YOU GET BENEFITS? Services will show the places near you where you can utilize the benefits in Cardu. You can either get the benefits with your member card or with cards that you can start using yourself. MESSAGES — WHAT'S GOING ON? You may get messages related to the cards in your Wallet or their contents. You can check the latest updates from your messages. As you receive a message, you can also receive a notification on your screen. If you wish, you can prohibit notifications for each card from the card information. MEMBER CARDS The member cards in Cardu include information that should be available to the members easily and quickly. The member card may, for example, include instructions, news and information about events. Member cards are generally delivered through the membership register. If you already have the Cardu app and an account, you get the card directly to your Wallet. Otherwise, you will receive an SMS or an email with a link to the app store. After you install and start the Cardu app, you will see the member card delivered to you. It’s important that you save the card to your Wallet, so that you can find it easier later and enjoy the benefits. If you are bored of a plastic member card, why not suggest Cardu to your organization! LOYALTY CARDS You can start using the loyalty cards in Cardu yourself. Cards are offered by, for example, car repair shops, pharmacies, hairdressers, barbers, beauty salons, stores, gyms and different restaurants. Even municipalities and other public institutions are included. Benefits can include, for example, discounts, offers, coupons or stamp cards. By opening the card, you will see more specifically what benefits the card gives you. Cardu will also show you the places close-by where you can redeem the benefits. PLASTIC CARDS TO CARDU If your pocket or bag is full of plastic cards, you can make space by storing their information to the corresponding cards in Cardu.

Solglimt asks one question a day. Was the weather good today? There are three ways to answer. Yes, a good day. No, not today. And the one that makes Solglimt what it is: good, but couldn't enjoy it — for the bright days that went by while you were somewhere else, indoors, busy, or simply not up to it. That is the whole app. One question, one tap, and then it leaves you alone. Over weeks and months the answers turn into something you cannot get from a forecast: a picture of how your own year actually went, in your own judgement rather than a weather station's. WHAT YOU GET • A calendar of every day you have answered, one dot per day, a year at a glance • Statistics for any year — good days, days you couldn't enjoy, days that weren't • A catch-up prompt for the days you missed, one at a time, oldest first • An optional daily reminder at a time you choose • Two looks: plain Paper, or Sky, which shifts with the hour from dawn to night • No adverts. No analytics. No tracking. No third-party SDKs beyond signing in SIGNING IN IS OPTIONAL Use Solglimt without an account and your answers stay on your device. They are never transmitted anywhere — signed out, the app contacts no server at all. Sign in with Apple or Google and your answers are stored on our own server in the EU, so they follow you between your devices and solglimt.hangar279.com in a browser. Nobody else gets them, they are never sold or shared, and there are no adverts anywhere in the app. You can delete your account and everything on the server from inside the app, at any time, in two taps: Settings → Account → Delete account & cloud data. NO WRITING REQUIRED There is no free text anywhere in Solglimt. Nothing to compose, nothing to keep up with, no streak to break and nothing to lose if you skip a week. A tap is the whole interaction.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Solglimt at none against Cardu's shown. Solglimt also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
