How's the Contacts app on Golden Gate?

[rebelo]

Hello there.
I have only one concern: could someone send a screenshot of the Contacts app from Golden Gate beta? Please, please? I'm a heavy user of the Contacts app and Tahoe just messed everything up.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Looks the same as Tahoe, but glassier.

Same UX disaster. I am planning on doing a replacement in SwiftUI using Cursor, after I get done with some other big coding projects. I will look at Leopard!

Absolutely worthless UI. What a waste. I don't remember if the backgrounds of contact sheets in Tahoe were animated, but the background colour now shifts around subtly, which is so unnecessary and off-putting.

I'm going to be optimistic based on this timeline which may explain the context of the changes thus far in Beta 1, i.e. undoing LG wasn't going to be done all at once, so priorities were made and those things got changed in the UI, the most pervasive and universally affective.

Menaing, there may be more rectification and UI fixes to come by September. I think they can do it, if that's what they are doing.

A horrible own goal by Apple. It's the damn Contacts app. Who cares if it looks boring. Just make it work. If they want to flex their design muscles, do it with the Music app or whatever

Editing contact banner is not available. Am I alone?

I don’t understand why there isn’t a toggle for a ‘classic’ (non-card) style and ‘modern’ card style.

Simple solution, suits everyone.

The Contacts app should be smarter by now. Why not sync Smart lists between all Apple's gadgets? And sync breaks TO the Mac app when using Apple's cloud syncing in beta 1 and 2 (adding new contact via iPhone doesn't usually sync over to Mac, but it does sync to iCloud and iPad)

Yep, still a mess on GG. An immense clustershi*.

I had to buy a copy of BusyContacts. Now I have to figure out how to save a contact to a specific contact list. It feels like everybody is forcing me to use only one contact list.
