Great idea, but app keeps crashing

I love the idea for this app, but it just doesn’t work. Continually crashes while using. Won’t even let me add pictures of people. I do not recommend this app.

APP NO LONGER UPDATED

Doesn’t scale properly in the new iOS and it’s unusable now. It’s broken unless it gets an update.

Sharing private lists doesn’t work

App is great to make your own list - but the features to share with others, with a private passcode doesn’t work at all. Talked with other users and they have the same problem

Loved until new phone

When I first got this app it was a huge help! Love the functionality and Ease of use! However: as noted by other reviews, I had to switch cell phones and the app will not let me import the lists into my new phone!! GRRR! I even purchased the $3.99 to share across devices, but to no avail. I can’t export, can’t import, and the option for support doesn’t existing. This is super sad, because this could be an extremely good and long lived app. I will have to look elsewhere and see if I can find something similar. (NameShark folks, if you can get this fixed it would be much appreciated!)

I could never log in. Reset password did not work.

Does not work well on iPhone X

Interface is crude and buggy. Seems to be designed more like a “game” than a serious contact/address book tool.
Deleted it.

Annoying ads

Good app, super annoying ads that are hard to turn off.

Lifesaver for teacher

I have over 500 students with a yearly turnover of about 125. This is the most painless and efficient way I have found to learn all those names

Simply brilliant.

Never have people been so welcoming and engaging, from clients and staff, to annual parties. Such a clever idea.
Still more to do on the data front ie having shortcuts of people who appear in multiple gatherings or settings is a quick easy improvement, and perhaps trawling social media for images, as other tech does. I’m impressed :)

Never works-great concept though

This is a great app in concept but it hasn’t worked for me since I first purchased it a few years back. It doesn’t sync anymore and I’ve sent a message to the app developers and didn’t get a response. I’m actively looking for another app that will do the same thing.
