#Cardhop ios review for mac#
When combined with 2015 Apple Design Award Winner Fantastical, Cardhop is a perfect one-two combination for Mac users that rely on contacts and calendars to get things done.Ĭardhop retails for $19.99 and requires macOS 10.11 or later. For example, I’d love to see a more compact view option to save precious screen real estate and even more keyboard shortcuts (like using tabs/arrow keys to navigate card fields) but I’m sure they’re coming.Ĭardhop contains a great set of features for a 1.0 release, and is the first app to innovate in the contacts space in a long time. It’s getting good ratings and has an avid following, but it could also be argued that it goes for splash when functionality should win the day. This is a classic example of a “third-party opportunity” where a sharp developer made an old dog do new tricks. Cardhop takes contacts to a whole new level, promoting them to first class status and providing a new level of discovery in macOS. Over the years, Apple’s first-party Contacts app hasn’t changed much. Additional Cardhop touches like a dark theme are the icing on the cake. Of course, you can also do more pedestrian tasks like updating contact info and adding notes (great for when you’re on the phone), all from the handy macOS contact menu. Pretty much every function you could want out of Contacts is easier to access and simpler to perform in Cardhop. Functions such as creating a new contact group, importing or exporting your contacts on the fly are all at your fingertips via the Cardhop menu and keyboard shortcut.Ĭardhop’s simple and fast search allows you to quickly find a contact – and even dial their number on your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
Other neat features include quick access to groups of contacts (for sending a group email) and the ability to send Facebook messages without having to switch over to a web browser.įlexibits has gone bananas in its effort to both bring additional functionality to macOS with an emphasis on user experience (just like it did with Fantastical). Cardhop organizes your contacts via an easy menu in the macOS menu bar, then adds quick actions to message, email, place a call. Luckily, Flexibits’ Cardhop picks up where Contacts leaves off. But it feels like Apple was forced to make it, against its will. It’s pretty much a loose database of friends and family, offer the required functionality to support a centralized locations for email addresses, contacts, and phone numbers. Apple’s Contacts app (formerly Address Book) hasn’t changed much over the years.
