Does what Apple Contacts should do

I use my iPad more for work, especially the Contacts. Apple's app has such minimal functionality, especially for Apple. Tried several until I got this. Wonderful. Has every feature I wanted and needed to be able to maximize its use. Especially LOVE the groups feature. I did run into a few glitches until I got it imported and set up correctly, but customer support was very responsive and helpful. Quite a few good things that should be in the Help section, which I told them, but at least I knew I had a resource for getting answers. Made my life much easier--which is what our "toys" are all about, right?!

UPDATE: well, it has been several years now that I have used this app (iPhone and iPad). Initially, I was anxious that it would eventually disappoint. However, it continues to have all the functionality I want and NEED for work and play. If you want a great Contacts app, this is the one.

Better than Apple’s App for Editing Contacts & Groups

I seldom use it for group emailing, though it does that well, but do use it often to keep 2,500+ contacts in iOS organized. The native Apple app won’t edit the “group” field, but this inexpensive app does. In fact, you can edit any field in the contact record as well as the names of groups of contacts. Using it with “Contacts Sync for Google” from the same developer, it’s easy to edit contacts, manage them in groups, and sync them to Google Contacts. You can sync only selected groups to sync to Google if you have more confidence in Apple’s privacy than Google’s.

I'm pleased to hear that the app is working well for you. Feel free to email me at donald@playaapps.com if you ever need help or if you have a suggestion.

Very helpful contacts app!

I mostly needed a contacts app that would show me photos and second lines (employers) in the list, not just the native app’s long list where everything blends together. This does great. So far I’m happy with the backup option which is included free.

I do *not* use some of the more complex functions that other people have mentioned issues with - like group text, or the app selecting wrong numbers/contact points for people.

I also don’t use this app’s list syncing functions (which it might actually try to make you buy in a different app); I just have the phone sync natively to my Gmail account and that suffices for me.
