Cardhop Contacts for Negative User Reviews
✓ I want a refundYeah Hi, This app did not work as per your sales pitch. Day 2 and it won’t even launch (totally black screen for 5 mins before I killed it). I request a refund..Version: 1.0.1
✓ SubscriptionWhy do we need a subscription for a contacts app? Flexibits destroyed fantastical doing the same bait and switch and now Cardhop. Thanks for nothing, my original payment doesn’t offer me any loyalty. No thanks to $60 a year to this..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Expensive for what it givesContact management is a real pain as any hand-written address book will testify. The built-in Contacts app is OK, but I was looking for something with a bit more polish and function. I already use another brilliant app for CRM (Contacts Journal), but I wanted something that is my central contact management hub. Cardhop was being promoted and I thought I would give it a go. I have been with it for over a year now and it hasn’t really given me anything over the stock app. Integration is expensive (you have to buy the MacOS app separately), the subscription is extremely expensive, and what it gives in return is mediocre at best. Would I recommend this? Honestly, no. The subscription model simply sinks the app completely. Unless you use voice entry all the time, it gives you nothing over the stock app except another subscription that gives little in return..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Suggestions for ImprovementHi, It would be great if the app could create and organize contacts by groups (ie friends, family...) It would also be great if it could have follow up actions with groups or individual contacts. The user interface of the groups should have easy access.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Groups!How about adding group management to the quick action options? Also, how about giving us the options to customize the menu at the bottom so that I can replace the birthdays with groups that are useful to me? How about integration with fantastical?.Version: 1.0.1
✓ WidgetsWhy no widgets support yet?.Version: 1.2.12
✓ Screw old usersThis 2.0 screws old users the same way as fantastical, by littering their apps with unusable buttons for impossibly highly priced features! Not that's unexpected at this point..Version: 2.0
✓ Too pretty but yet not as functional for meThis app is pretty and works really good, but this is not for someone like myself who understands and uses the 3D Touch function heavily on iPhone. The reason I say this, is because while the app provides with different and new ways to work with your contacts, it does not provide with a way to work more efficiently with your contacts than the stock Phone and Contacts app. If you are user of 3D Touch, you will understand that a single tap on your favorite shortcut menu when you 3D touch the phone app will dial the number immediately instead of presenting you with a pop up message to cancel or call the number for that contact like Cardhop does instead. This is just one example. Another example is the fact that in the native Phone app, you are able to save your favorite contacts and assigned a specific action when you tap on a contact. In other words, you can save a contact in your favorites, so that you would just tap on it and make a Whatsapp call, or video call, or FaceTime call audio or video, or just message that contact. There are other functions this app lacks that the iPhone has with its stock Phone and Contacts app provides to save you time. I will be asking for a refund from Apple. This I believe is the first time I will ask for a refund for any app I have ever paid for in my 7 years of being an App Store customer..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Stay Away! It’s a scam.Obviously the developers didn’t learn their lesson from their Fantastical Calendar app. These are worst developers in the entire App Store. Their lack of integrity and greediness is overwhelming..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Useful, but some bizarre/annoying design choicesThis 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. One thing I hate: I have birthday notifications on, it shows a tiny photo of the contact, a Haptic Touch or 3D Press expands the card but removes the contact photo entirely and replaces it with an animated cake. I don’t need to see (the same) animated cake (every day), I know it’s that person’s birthday. I *would* however like to see a larger version of that person’s contact photo. 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 3D 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 sticking with how it functioned in the 1.0 release..Version: 1.2.3
✓ PoorCustomisable QR code doesn’t scan everything else offered can be achieved via Siri wish I hadn’t purchased.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Version 2.1I purchased Cardhop in 2019, now to use the features I will need to pay a monthly/annual subscription. Good way to treat your customers. App deleted..Version: 2.1
✓ DeletedSwitch to subscription model? Yes App deleted? Yes.Version: 2.0
✓ Too many prompts for dial a numberIt would be great if too many prompts are avoided to make a call. I usually tent to use default app instead of Cardhop because of these prompts. Else a great app. Also a dialer screen will be excellent.Version: 2.0.10
✓ Not getting it.Using the stock phone app, 1 long press and 1 tap and I’m calling a favourite. With Cardhop it’s 1 long press and 3 taps..Version: 1.2.6
✓ Good but should have more featuresWhen I hear about contacts app what comes first to my mind is to be able to easily manage the duplicate contacts and delete them or sort thorough the contacts easily to get rid of the unnecessary or old ones. I would be very glad if there features were to added to this app. Other than that it is a good app since you can use it for free if you already have a fantastical subscription..Version: 2.0
✓ Generic Release NotesLack of detail implies a lack of diligence..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Meh. Not much more for me than Contacts appI bought it, tried to like it, but after a few months of using it I deleted it because I found the stock Contacts app to be easier to use. There were no compelling features in CardHop for me. YMMV..Version: 1.2.8
✓ All I get is a blank screen on launching the appThis is on my different phones and is very annoying because the app sometimes launches fine but usually fails with the black screen.Version: 1.2.6
✓ Purchased appHave purchased this app, and now unable to use without premium feature. What a rip off..Version: 2.1
✓ Good v1.0 app - but needs improvementsUpdated Still going over the features. Love the smart parsing when I enter a new contact. So far no glitches on iPhone 8 running iOS 12.2. App can detect if you have Skype or other apps installed on your IPhone. I like that you can swipe right on a contact to quickly phone, text, or video-call. Swiping left lets you delete that contact. Cardhop gives you a lot of options on how you communicate with a contact. This works great as long as there is one main phone number you use. You can customize presets for that number (for example, make a straight phone call, use Skype, etc). But if you have multiple numbers (home, work, mobile), it gets awkward. You touch the number you want to call. You are presented with a list of choices (e.g, call, Skype, text, FaceTime, etc). You make your choice, and ANOTHER dialogue box opens asking you to confirm. If I could customize how I interact with EACH number, instead of only one number, it would be fantastic. Also, 2 things I’d like to add, based on a quick run through. First, that the app can automatically recognize whether a contact’s mobile phone is an iPhone. This is so video calling automatically launches FaceTime. Right now, you have to choose from a dialog menu. Secondly, that the app can be launched by 3rd party launchers..Version: 1.0.1
✓ What it does, it does very wellAnnoyingly however I keep having to switch back to the stock contacts app to set ringtone/emergency bypass options - Cardhop either can’t do this, or makes it too hard to figure out how..Version: 1.1.3
✓ Dialer padIt would be nice if dialer is provided to dial new numbers and find the missed calls.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Not there yetIt’s just another contacts app for now. To me, it needs some more work to get more stars. I add contacts with husband and wife’s name. Children are in notes in the iOS native contacts app. Below are two things that I don’t like about Cardhop. I want to remember birthdays for all family members. I can only add one birthday under that heading. A second birthday will not show up in English. I can’t be reminded if these birthdays are listed under Date heading or notes. Please fix. If have used native contact app which had several Groups. With Cardhop I try to open these groups and I get a blank screen. The group name shows within the individual contacts. If I do a search, I get all contacts with that word, even from my notes. Maybe I just don’t understand this app yet, but I can do everything I need in the native contact app from Apple. I thing that I do appreciate is the fact that you can edit heading names. With a husband and wife contact I can now show a name for each phone number, etc. I use Fantastical 2 and like the calendar format and ease of entering information. I’m sure Cardhop witl be the same way as future versions become available..Version: 1.0
✓ Another app that you pay for and then they charge annuallyOnce again another app that gets you to pay a lot for a one off (like Fantastical - same family) app and then they decide to go monthly/annual to charge even more money - a real rip off. Will never pay them for what now is a rubbish app 🤬🤬 No use telling me that they need to make their business substantial when they charge for each operating system and then afterwards “move the goal posts” just to make more money by charging again and again..Version: 2.0.1
✓ App has stopped workingFollowing iOS update app has stopped working, I just get a black screen..Version: 1.0.1
✓ THE WORST CONTACTS APPThis is the worst contacts application I ever come across on Apple iTune App Store It is absolutely RUBBISH. It failed to load and when it loads up, it crashes immediately. WARNING ⚠️ #PLEASE DON'T BUY..Version: 1.0.3
✓ UnresponsiveHopefully this is a bug but this app doesn’t work at all.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Add TextNow supportPlease ☹️.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Decent, not greatA very good app for managing contacts. Definitely beats the native app. I was really impressed with the ability to have a digital business card to share while networking, but the idea that someone needs to scan a qr code on your phone in order to get your business card... that's preposterous. The share button is right next to the business card! Why would I want a new professional contact to know my birthday, my mother-in-law's name and any notes I've added to my vcard. UPDATE: The app has now been updated so that when you hit the share button, it only shares the vcard information you have included in your business card. Very good. The QR code tech to share a digital business card... not very good..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Doesn’t work as described but beautiful appVery nicely designed but doesn’t work as expected. I was under the impression I could cut and paste contact info from say an email or website into Cardhop and it would parse the text accordingly. I’ve tried several different formats of contact details from email, website and notes app and the result is muddled, with names and job titles split up, and addresses not being parsed at all as one would expect. Not worth .99 let alone another £4.00. Now deleted. Just doesn’t do it for me..Version: 1.2
✓ Simple and needs some upgradesI only use this because I pay for the fantastical subscription so this is integrated/comes with it. I’d like to see a function where it’ll remind you to follow up with an individual (with the ability to “snooze”) or at least have it integrated with ToDoist like fantastical. Outside of the card scanner and a few interesting functions it’s the same as the contacts app in my phone. Lots of other apps have better functions, and better ways to personalize the e-card which I expect will come in future updates. There are better apps that I’ve used, I just don’t want to pay for the scanner features. I see lots of potential as I love my fantastical subscription..Version: 2.2.14
✓ Some unfortunate problems...There is plenty to recommend about Cardhop - slick UI, natural language parsing of the quality you would expect from the makers of Fantastical, good performance speed and lots of customisation options. However, there are some unfortunate problems. When paying money for a UI app that only adds a certain amount of functionality to the stock free app, you expect it to be bulletproof (after all, the point is supposed to be all about being a slicker experience). In about 20 minutes of use I encountered the following problems: (1) Cardhop insisted that my nephew was a business so vehemently that I had to go into the Apple contacts app, delete the contact, add it back in there and then return to Cardhop (which obviously made me question the point of having Cardhop). (2) I wanted to add my wife to my favourites in Cardhop, but when I did, the app forced me to have her work email address as the default contact option - I still can’t change this. (3) There were problems with app integration, such as stuttering and duplication with Airmail 3, and lack of support for messaging through Signal. I will continue to use Cardhop for a while as the ‘upcoming birthdays’ feature is really great and I have some faith that the developers will fix these errors, but this was a bit of a disappointing start to a very promising app..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Has potential. Some glaring omissionsIt’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?.Version: 1.0.5
✓ I’m out… deleted!The added features to this app and Fantastical have made what was once a clean and streamlined UX, clunky and cumbersome. These were two of my favorite and most used apps. Unfortunately, Flexibits has lost sight of what created so much customer loyalty over many years. Instead they have chosen to load their apps down with poorly integrated features in order to nickel and dime customers with perpetual subscriptions. I paid full price for each app when they were sold as a ‘onetime purchase.’ Even so, I used the apps so much that I paid the subscription for each when introduced so that I could take advantage of the additional features. The more they ‘upgrade’ each app, the more clunky and annoying it becomes. With so many other solid options, I’m out… deleted from iPhone, iPad, and all macs. Best of luck friends a Flexibits! Hopefully, you all will rediscover the magic that gave your company prominence and endeared thousands upon thousands of customers to your apps..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Waste of timeThis app takes forever to load and never seems to remember it already imported my contacts. Can’t count the number of times I’ve had to start from scratch while it takes its time re-importing the same contacts. While the graphic interface is great, the user experience is terrible. I’ve tried to make this my main contact app, but it just doesn’t work as well as the free native iOS app…which isn’t perfect, but at least it works as expected. I don’t understand the Editors Choice recommendation for this app. Sadly, it goes to the trash..Version: 2.0.10
✓ Beautiful contact organization, missing basic functionsThe UI is superb and finding contacts a breeze. I especially like the ability to easily share your business card. However, the lack of a dedicated phone dialer or the option to switch to easily switch to a number only keypad in search puts a lot of limitations on the usefulness of the app. The stock phone app has contacts built in find a hard habit to break of navigating to my contacts from there. If I could more easily dial a number not stored as a contact, check my voicemail or have an alert for missed calls I would use this all day over the native phone and contacts app..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great contact organization app. Horrible card scanner.This app is wonderful in integrating with Apple Contacts and making easy what Apple Contacts lacks—creating default contact entry templates, recoding a universal list of recent interactions, adding date and time stamps to notes, among others. And all this syncs seamlessly with Apple Contacts. The business card scanner is worthless, however, and not even worth trying. Out of about 10 attempts, only one card scan got basic information correct. In considering this, therefore, you also need to consider getting a separate business card scanner. Just watch out for very good scanner apps that have very poor privacy policies. Usually, the very best ones seriously compromise your privacy..Version: 2.2.12
✓ A subscription service for a contact app!?!?Have you lost your tiny mind? And too boot you are charging this amount of money which can only be described as extortion. £39 for a year, and £63 for family haha, how does this app provide that level of value exactly? Honestly, I hope this app disappears into the ether and people have the common sense not to pay this..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Great potential but far too clumsyI’ve lost count of the times it’s tried to take clear contact details from the clipboard and place into a new contact really badly. The placement is often so messed up it’s easier and quicker to add details manually. Using Cardhop to make phone calls is just as tedious, the are more steps to actually making the call, again, not worth it. One feature worth having is being able to add a contact more easily to a group, it does that better than Apple contacts, but apart from that I see little value in cardhop after using it since it first came out..Version: 1.2.8
✓ Group EmailVery nice app but missing one key feature - the whole point of having groups is being able to email the entire group without have to enter each group member's email address. There are also times when it's necessary to email some, but not all members of the group. It would be helpful if one could select a group, check which members to include in an email and then have the email populated with those mergers. Unless I'm missing something, there is no way to do this in CardHop. There is an app called Connect which includes this functionality, so it should be possible..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Seems nice so far, a few missing actiomsI've installed this since it became a part of my subscription. I like the way it looks and works a so far. It would be great, however, if you could add a dialer to the app. Trying to call someone from the app takes 3 or 4 taps (first works problems, I know). It'd be so much more efficient if I could dial directly from the app when clicking on a contact instead of clicking on the contact, then the phone number I want to call, then call in the app, and then call from the iPhone dialer. If that could be done, I'll be 100% sold. Thanks..Version: 2.0.1
✓ OK but not greatCardhop brings some nice things: ability to deal with groups (a serious failing in Apple’s app), a birthday view, Flexibits parsing, which others will love but to me is meh. But the sacrifices and what’s missing are greater. • List view shows half as many contacts on a screen as the native app. That’s way too few. I don’t care about a picture or company in that view; Cardhop needs options not to display them and the line surrounding the contacts. Of all the things wrong with the native app, List view isn’t one of them. • Favorites don’t carry over, so we have to re-specify them. Worse, Favorites are at the contact level, not # level as in the native app, so instead of one tap to dial a favorite, it’s multiple. • Birthday view is good, but they need Anniversary visibility as well. They do this in Fantastical Mac, but still don’t in the iOS versions. It’s just weird it’s not here..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Another app ruined by in app purchasesUsed to love this app and do appreciate the developers response that they need to support their business. Totally understand that but what you have now done for those of us that have been grandfathered in, is litter the app with unusable buttons and calls to subscribe. For me I’m out as this should be optionally turned off so I can continue to use the app the way it was intended instead of getting in my way. For me I’m out but wish you the best of luck on the subscriptions..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Hangs when performing actionsI have two accounts, one an Exchange server for work. About 1600 contacts/entries in total. The app hangs, becomes unresponsive when typing, e.g., “Fav” and the first letter of a contact name. Same with “call” etc. An interesting concept, but it seems not ready for prime time..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Can’t manually enter ContactsHaven’t used the app for long, it is essentially reliant on the stock Contacts app & you cannot add your own information otherwise which is surprising for a paid app. It is essentially a standalone extension of the stock app and I would be willing to pay for an app like this especially with Local Encryption. Though essentially hard-linking this app to the stock Contacts app, hurts it & I can’t free more space by using this app alone and deleting the stock application. Deleting the stock Contacts app does not delete the Data from the app & must be deleted manually. This is clear as once all data has been deleted if you open Cardhop they’ll all disappear. So this app is useless in that regard, since it’s not really capable of replacing the app outright, it is merely an 3rd party extension of that app. If you want to completely replace the stock Contacts app this is not what you’re looking for keep searching & save your money..Version: 1.2.10
✓ Wasn’t Worth ItThought the copy/paste thing where it filled out the info would be useful but the first new contact I tried to add updated a contact that was already there and I lost that info. Then the desktop app was $30 on top of the $7 I paid for this one. Stick to the Apple Contacts app..Version: 1.2.11
✓ Birthdays, really?I wish the birthdays tab was used for something else. A simple "Connect again" date would even be more useful, allowing Cardhop to become a mini-CRM if you want to use it that way. But birthdays just aren’t important to a lot of people. Case in point: I only have one contact person's birthday in my contacts. They (a) don't really care about birthdays and (b) it'd probably be creepy of me to go out of my way to say happy birthday to them..Version: 1.1
