### 4/5 — Use all the time

*2026-07-26, version 4.6.8*

My #1 contact manager.  Wish it had a few more features: e.g. being able to add attachments to a contact, being able to create new group when adding new contact.

### 5/5 — I love this app!!!

*2026-06-27, version 4.6.8*

I love how people focused this application is and how niche I can get in my search and contact group organization.  It’s my one stop shop for checking up on birthdays and anniversaries, and creating contact groups I can browse when I have an idle moment to see who I’d like to check in with soon.  Yes, it needs a UI upgrade, and better, more intuitive navigation, and there’s a few integrations with Apple or Meta that could be done that could inch this into the top spot to be one’s own private social hub.  Developers feel free to contact me!  I have ideas.

Edit: 2026 Jun 27
I am still in love with this app whenever I remember to visit my contacts to organize them.  Thank you. I am writing today to request a feature be added to further enhance my organization: tags.  Presently the only way to identify a contact as belonging to two different groups is to create two groups which also makes two new contact lists, and so the list of contact lists can get quite long.  For me, I like to identify the contacts relationship context to me and where I know them from, but I would prefer to use tags for where I know them from instead of another contact group / list.  Again, thank you for a wonderful application.  It is simple, and I see it could keeping me accountable to the connections I’ve made in life.

### 3/5 — Bug dans la réponse au messages de groupe

*2026-06-24*

J envoi une question à 50 personnes. Envoi par groupe de 10. Les réponses ne me reviennent pas toujours et se perdent chez d autres destinataires du groupe. C est fâcheux
