I know there are more powerful CRMs such as SalesForce, and check out some of the CRMs at. Not sure about the blurb on the developer's site of Bus圜ontacts being "The most powerful contact manager for macOS".
#ALFRED TO CARDHOP SOFTWARE#
I'm now looking for a replacement - or we'll just use the Mac software - and will ensure that everyone I recommended it to knows what my new recommendation will be. I'm a business owner and I use to put this on all our companies laptops and recommend this software to everyone I knew. This is akin to holding the software that I have paid for - and my contracts - hostage while they try to sell me.
#ALFRED TO CARDHOP UPGRADE#
However, the pop-up is persistent and wont allow you to use the software (actually locks you out of using it) until you either wait a set amount amount of time - no idea how long, but minutes! - or click on the link to see the upgrade info. I understand this - it's how hey sell the new version. But a couple months ago I started getting a pop-up that asks me to pay to upgrade to the new version. They acknowledged this and I acknowledge that I wont get any more updates - that the way software has always worked. It's mine and I can use it as long as I want because I paid for it. By allowing me to pay for upgrades that I see value in, it keeps us both honest - they need to keep working if they want me to keep paying.Ģ) I'm still on the non-subscription version that I PAID FOR IN FULL. I know this was based on a chance Apple made, but it was still a feature I paid for that no longer exists. Sure they make it look a little nicer, but the major function change was actually the lose of the ability to see all of the emails for a contact. With that said, I like the additional stuff, but they haven't made any real improvements to functionality in some time. This is fine for some things, but this is basically a minor upgrade to the free calendar and contact programs that come on the Mac. However, 2 things have happened the past year that have turned me off.ġ) They have gone to a subscription based program. This was a good product for the price when I could buy it and upgrade when there was a worthwhile product feature update.
