When I meet someone, I like to mention the date when I met them or jot something down to remember the meeting. One of my favorite features of Cardhop is how easy it is to add notes. You can customize the “Quick Actions” that show for each contact.

Plus you can have multiple “business cards” so you can have one for your professional information and one for your personal information.Ĭardhop also lets you quickly call or Facetime someone, or other actions, without having to painstakingly navigate through your Contacts.

Plus it has automatically generates a QR code that someone can just scan to quickly add your information to their phone. On the flipside, when you want to share YOUR contact information, Cardhop offers a fantastic feature they call “Business Card” but I like to think of it more generally as “Contact Cards.” When you tap the little business card icon, the screen shows your “business card” that you can customize with information you want to show someone. When you’re done, just tap “Add Contact.” and Cardhop “parses” all the information in your contacts. In Cardhop, you can just type a name, and then just keep typing their email address, phone number, etc. In the default iOS Contacts app, you have to tap into individual fields to fill out the information but that takes a lot of time. I find the Parser is most helpful for adding a new contact. One of the most prevalent features you’ll see on every screen in Cardhop is the search bar … but this is more than just a search bar, Cardhop calls it a “Parser” because it actively parses the information you type into the box.įor example, you can use the Parser to add information to an already existing contact, or add a birthday to a contact, or even take action on a contact such as “Call Gunther.” There is also a Favorites button, a clock icon for “Recents,” a little present icon for your contact’s Birthdays, and then Settings. In fact, when you first launch Cardhop, you have to give it permission to access your contacts, and it will dutifully pull everything into the app.Īll of your contacts will be available by tapping the circle button in the middle. That’s an excellent question, and I’m going to show you the best features of Cardhop so you can make your own decision, but the brilliant thing is that you DON’T have to use a separate app! Because Cardhop works with the contacts you already have in iCloud or on your phone, and your contacts sync back and forth! Now I’m going to anticipate that the first question that comes to mind, and the same thing that I thought as well … why would I use another app for contacts when it’s already built into the phone?
Today’s app is Cardhop from Flexibits, the same company that develops the fantastic Fantastical calendar app / service.įantastical is a superb app that let’s you type in a date or appointment in “natural language” and the app parses it all out into a bona fide calendar appointment.Ĭardhop brings that same “natural language” capability to your contacts!
