Hello. There’s a neat solution to storing special greeting cards without keeping the physical clutter. In a major update, Hello There 2 now has automatic card recognition, hashtags, a new default view, new custom icons designed by Basic Apple Guy, and more.
Hello There 2 has just been released on the App Store. Available for iPhone and iPad, it offers a clean and seamless way to organize and sort through 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 display options, Face ID support, and customizable themes.
With the latest version, Hello There has now become even more user-friendly and powerful. Headlining is automatic card recognition that speeds up the process of capturing and cropping cards when you add them with your iPhone or iPad camera.
Hashtags are a valuable new way to sort your cards and find them faster (with the Pro version), the new default view shows more information at a glance, and the photo picker uses Apple’s latest PhotosPicker API.
Other new features include up to 10 images per card, three new premium icons designed by the talented Basic Apple Guy, and a new double-tap-to-zoom feature. The update also includes a variety of other improvements and bug fixes.
Hello. There’s 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 is $0.99/month, $9.99/year, or $24.99 as a lifetime purchase.
