Brilliant

Finally! I’ve been looking for an app that does this for ages. You can select which address books to use & within that which contacts to show, even choose red or green pins. Perfect so far.

The best!

I've tried loads of apps for showing your contacts on a map, and this is the only one that works, and it works GREAT!
Don't about the other reviews saying it crashes or doesn't show info when taping a pin, it shows the info for me and has never crashed.
I love this app, so easy to use too!!

Doesn’t work properly

You used to be able to press a pin and the address would pop up, this isn’t working now. Not good
