Flexibits brought its excellent contact manager Cardhop from the Mac to iOS earlier this year, and today both versions of the Fantastical maker’s actionable contacts app are being updated with all-new features. Cardhop for iOS expands on the awesome business card feature introduced in version 1.0 plus much more including a fun sticker pack in Messages, and Cardhop for Mac picks up new templates for managing smart groups and more.
Cardhop 1.1 for iPhone and iPad now lets you create multiple business cards, expanding the clever feature that debuted in March. Cardhop business cards let you display or share your contact information with others without sending your entire contact card with personal details you don’t want to share. Now Cardhop lets you create multiple business cards for different businesses or different versions depending on what you want to share with your new contact. If you use Cardhop on the iPhone and iPad (or multiple iPhones and iPads), business card settings now auto-sync over iCloud too.
The updated iOS app also supports creating custom templates with set fields and labels when creating new contacts if you typically save certain details. Cardhop 1.1 for iOS also supports new smart group templates that auto-update using frequently searched queries. The new version also sneaks in Gravatar support for automatically finding contact photos by email using the popular avatar service, and plenty of clever iMessage stickers for communicating just the right message.
Cardhop 1.3 for Mac is also out today and introduces new templates for creating smart groups as well as group message sending support with natural language input. Check out the full release notes for Cardhop for iOS and Mac below:
