The native calendar of Apple devices, as well as its calendar, have their pros and cons depending on how each person uses it. And that person can choose between getting used to these native clients or looking for third-party alternatives, and one of the quintessential third-party alternatives on Apple devices for calendar is Cardhop.
Its developers, Flexibits, today presented the version 2 of the application compatible with iOS, iPadOS and macOS. We see some interesting news integrated with the latest functions of all systems and an interesting business model which is combined with the other flagship application of Flexibits, Fantastical.
Two applications intertwined in one payment
Cardhop is now able to catalog contacts based on their relationships, for example if a contact is the parent of another. On iOS and iPadOS, we can also scan business cards using the camera to avoid having to write your data by hand, and from this new version we will also be able to attach images to each contact card and place widgets on the main screen of each system .
But the funny thing is how Cardhop is going to be sold: it’s added as a supplement to a subscription called Flexibits Premium, which will incorporate premium versions of Cardhop and by Fantastic for 44 dollars per year. The developer thus unifies his two applications into a single service and integrates them: Cardhop 2 is able to send event invitations to contacts directly via Fantastical.
If you are one of those who have subscribed to Fantastical, you don’t have to do anything: the price does not change and you can now download and use Cardhop 2 on your devices. If you don’t have this subscription and plan to get it through one of the apps, you can get the other without a problem and at no additional cost.
