Cobook has reached 50000 downloads and counting! Time for another tasty update.
Integration
Cobook is now fully compatible with the wonderful Alfred and Alarms applications.
Note: If you have been using earlier version of Cobook and want to enable Alfred support, please open Preferences and change default address book application to Address Book and then back to Cobook.
Contact Names
Beta 6 introduces support for contact middle names. You can enable it via Preferences -> Contacts.
We’ve also enhanced formating of contact names. Now it’s independent from the contact sorting mode.
Last but not least, the sorting order for non-latin alphabets is now working properly.
Tags
You can now rename existing tags as well as view contacts with no tags assigned.
We’ve also improved how tags are synced from social networks - they are now prefixed with the name of the network. In addition we’ve added special tags “#Facebook:Friends”, “#Twitter:Following” and “#LinkedIn:Connections”, that lets you quickly see everyone who you are connected with in the particular network.
Note: contact tags are synced gradually so it may take some time until all contacts display the current tags. You can also force syncing for particular contact by selecting “Refresh Contact” from the action menu.
Birthdays
Cobook now shows contact’s age instead of birth year. Also we’ve improved birthday synchronization with Facebook.
What’s Next
We’ve already introduced some big performance improvements but more are coming in the next update.
You can get Cobook Beta 6 today from cobookapp.com.
