Useless app

Downloaded this to create backup of contacts. Went to backup contacts and puts up a page saying upgrade to Pro version for £1.99, so that you can remove ads and backup 50+ contacts - I don’t have more than 50 contacts. The free app doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do, it’s solely there to get you to part with your money without the option of trying it out first. I would really love to give this zero stars but that’s also not an option.

Won’t Stop Sending Me Vcf afile

I sent myself a backup this morning, and my mailbox is FULL of emails that are being sent every hour.

I am unable to contact the developer directly. Please help.
I will contact Apple tomorrow about the developer’s site leading to a redirect.

Response from developer

Hello, do you still have issues? I don't get what's wrong, the app allows to send a backup by email and other ways, that's it. I guess you had issues with your mail app, not this app. The Mail app is used to send an email, not mine.

Saved my bacon

This app saved the day. Working in a mixed Microsoft, Apple, yahoo and google environment can real mess up you contact database. Jonathan has done a great job allowing you to backup , cleanup and re-import your contacts.
