The address are not showing any more when you tap on the pins. Other than that it’s a nice app. ### 2/5 — It impressed *2019-10-26, version 3.5.1* I used this app for a couple of years and changed phones to IPhone XS. Now it will not download addresses and freezes up . Not a good app for contacts ### 3/5 — not working properly I retention pack not loading... :( *2017-09-21, version 3.5.1* not working properly I retention pack not loading... :( ### 3/5 — Needs some work *2017-04-18, version 3.5.1* Needs to integrate better with iOS address book. Contacts added to address book don't update into the app. Needs an easy way to resync. ### 3/5 — Needs several fixes *2017-01-16, version 3.5.1* I'm not the best in using apps but this one could be perfect for me. We entered all Planet Fitnesses in our contacts. But wanted to use the pins to document the ones we have used, the ones we haven't and the ones that do not have truck parking. No where does there seem to be a way to have a color key. Also when working with it I keep changing pin colors accidentally. Apparently there is no way to lock the pins already set while adding pins to other entries! ### 4/5 — Great app. Needs an update to IOS 9! *2015-11-03, version 3.0.2* Great app but needs an update to IOS 9! Would be 5 star if the third party apps and map directions were working. It would also be really nice if you could update your contacts directly from the map or access your notes on your contacts. 😃 I travel a lot on the road so this is really nice for viewing my contacts. ### 2/5 — Great idea but UK postcodes are wrong *2015-05-24, version 3.0.2* Imported contacts with pins. Found NP11 in Lancashire. Last time I checked NP was Newport South Wales. Lots like this. Also Km but no option to switch to Miles. Great idea but needs tweaking for UK usage ### 4/5 — Like *2015-05-18, version 3.0.2* Good app ### 4/5 — Tuyệt vời *2015-04-29, version 3.0.2* Biết nhận xét là để đấy thôi. Rất hay, nhưng thiếu mục tìm kiếm. ### 3/5 — OK but not great *2015-04-20, version 3.0.2* It gets locked up frequently and I have to close the app and reopen. ### 2/5 — I really want to like this app!!! *2015-04-09, version 3.0.2* This app has the potential to be an incredible tool. At first it very simply and easily synced with my contacts and put pins galore on the map, but it won’t add new entries from my contacts. If I can’t add pins for contacts created after I first loaded the app then it is useless to me. If this bug was fixed then I would change my star rating to 5 for the free version. ### 2/5 — Decent *2015-03-19, version 3.0.2* Like the idea of the app, but I need to be able to edit the address in the contact, as well as add and delete contacts much easier. How do I delete contacts from here? ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-03-09, version 3.0.2* App looks like it hasn't been touched since iOS 6 or something. Doesn't place a single contact pin on the map and appears to be completely nonfunctional. ### 2/5 — Pins *2015-01-29, version 3.0.2* I wish I could change the color of the pins in all place marks. I would give it a five if I could have done that. ### 1/5 — Did not work for me *2014-08-22, version 3.0.2* I installed the app and ran it. After 20 minutes of trying settings and looking for installation instructions on the web, none of my 100+ contacts showed up on the map. Maybe it is because all my contacts are in groups and none are the the default folder. This app need clearer instructions. If no instructions are requried, then, it did not work for me. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work properly *2020-02-06, version 3.5.1* You used to be able to press a pin and the address would pop up, this isn’t working now. Not good ### 1/5 — Junk *2020-01-10, version 3.5.1* Can’t click on pins to get any info. Bought extension pack and it did nothing. Want a refund now ### 1/5 — Basic *2019-12-21, version 3.5.1* Very very basic can’t even click on pins to see who it is ### 1/5 — I want a refund. *2019-04-25, version 3.5.1* This app doesn’t allow you to get directions to pins. The reason I spent $5.99. Not cool if Apple doesn’t give a refund ### 1/5 — Don’t get this app *2019-01-22, version 3.5.1* They haven’t updated this app in years. The app crashes frequently and you have to replace all of your pins. Numerous emails to their support with no answer. Apple has to grow a set of balls and get rid of idiots like these that take your money on the premium version but they never bother to update the app ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2017-11-22, version 3.5.1* This app does not work. I tried on my iPhone 8+ using iOS 11, and imported my contacts and nothing shows on the map even though 95% of my contacts have a full address associated with them. Don’t waste your time, it doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — 구입했는데 핀색깔 메모가 안됩니다 *2016-11-25, version 3.5.1* ios버전 때문인지 유로구입했으나 핀색깔 추가메모가 되지않습니다 확인부탁드립니다ㅠㅠ ### 1/5 — Worst app *2016-06-28, version 3.5* Won't let me do anything without accessing my contacts. Worst app I've ever downloaded! I can't even manually drop a pin ### 1/5 — Crap *2016-04-17, version 3.0.2* Dos not work properly and cannot see contacts on app ### 1/5 — Broken *2016-02-24, version 3.0.2* I upgraded and now get random address boxes next to random pins that I cannot remove. Annoying. No help available. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2022-05-09, version 3.5.1* 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. ### 5/5 — The best! *2020-03-04, version 3.5.1* 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!! ### 5/5 — Need update *2017-04-09, version 3.5.1* Need update ### 5/5 — Love This App! *2016-12-16, version 3.5.1* We have over 300 stores to keep in touch with monthly and this is the only app out there I am able to use to keep track,locations on all of them. Praise God for this comfort becoming available. ### 5/5 — Like *2014-10-30, version 3.0.2* Good ### 5/5 — good *2014-02-28, version 3.0.2* like ### 5/5 — Hi! *2013-11-04, version 3.0.2* Good good ### 5/5 — Hay *2013-09-25, version 3.0.2* Good ### 5/5 — AB Contact Map *2013-09-01, version 3.0.2* AB Contact Map terbaik... ### 5/5 — Good *2013-09-01, version 3.0.2* Good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
