Contacts app is a nightmare on Tahoe.

[rebelo]

Hey there. Not sure if anyone else around here is a heavy user of MacOS' Contacts app. Under Tahoe RC, it's becoming almost useless to me. I'm quite frustrated. Been using Contacts for 15 years, I got more than 6000 records and keep the app always open while working. The interface under Tahoe really sucks big time. I'm devastated.

Yes, I tried BusyContact and Cardhop. They are paid software and present a lot of stuff that I just don't need. I'd gladly pay for any app to give me back the old Contacts interface.

Thinking about going back to Sequoia now.

Okay? So what uhh specifically frustrates you with the contacts app? To me it's just fine

it's fine here too. as @Heindijs suggests, let us know what the issues are, and maybe the community here can help

Sorry, guys. If you haven't noticed the interface change of Contacts, you clearly don't use Contacts. In both sides, actually: the contact listing and contact data. After 2 days of Sequoia, I can't keep using it. I know, silly, but Contacts is a tool I use almost 24/7 while working since the dinosaur age. Went back to Sequoia today. What a relief.

condescension always works 🙄

am using contacts regularly on my mac without issue. can you break down why "it's becoming almost useless" to you?

Sure the interface has changed. I don't find it to be a problem. Sorry you do.

I want a compact, no frills UX option.

I mighty have to go back to Fantastical/CardHop...

Check out the free versions of the Flexbits apps on the App Store!

I feel your pain.
I have near 2k customers with a large quantity of notes on them.
Besides the graphics glitches (like the flashing when scrolling), now the Notes field is so small.
I need to do a lot of scrolling to read notes that before were easily visible.
The background color is distracting and unnecessary.

A quick round around for now is to hit Edit, that view is like old times.

Yes, I don't know why it's flickering so much.
