Hello There iOS greeting card organizer gets auto card detection, hashtags, custom icons

Hello There is a neat solution to saving special greeting cards without keeping the physical clutter. Now in a major update, Hello There 2 has received auto card detection, hashtags, a new default view, new custom icons designed by Basic Apple Guy, and more.

Hello There 2 just launched on the App Store. Available for iPhone and iPad, it offers a clean and seamless way to organize and sort important cards from birthdays, holidays, weddings, anniversaries, etc.

Previously, the app included a long list of rich features like iCloud syncing, Home and Lock Screen widgets, Live Text support, multiple viewing options, Face ID support, and customizable themes.

Now with the latest release, Hello There has become even easier to use and more capable. Headlining is auto card detection that makes it quicker to capture and crop cards when adding them with your iPhone or iPad camera.

Hashtags are a valuable new way to sort and make finding your cards faster (with the Pro version), the new default view shows more information at a glance, and the photo selector uses Apple’s latest PhotosPicker API.

More new features include up to 10 pictures per Card, three new premium icons designed by the talented Basic Apple Guy, and a new double-tap to zoom-in capability. The update also features a variety of other improvements and bug fixes.

Hello There is a free download from the App Store with the Pro version unlocking unlimited collections, hashtags, multiple photos per card, custom icons, and more. Hello There Pro runs $0.99/month, $9.99/year, or $24.99 as a lifetime purchase.
