### 4/5 — Great app with potential

*2020-09-30, version 2.0.1*

I like the app as it helps me to catchUp with former colleagues and family members (I have a hug family).
However, the following features would help to improve its usability/customer experience:
- an indicator on the app icon shows me that I have to catchUp with someone, entering the app doesn’t highlight with whom I need to catchUp. Notifications in the control Center etc help, but sometimes you accidentally swipe them away and here we go - no clue who to contact
- a notification option that allows to remind in 1 hour, in the afternoon / evening / next morning
- as already mentioned by someone else, more possibilities to set up reminders, like bi-weekly, etc
- possibility to group the people, like former colleagues, family, etc
- possibility to set reminders that affect all people writhing the specific group. That way I can create a group like ‘weekly’ and set the reminder to remind me to catchUp with those people weekly on a specific day/random and a specific time/random
- instead of scrolling through the hours/minutes, use the feature apple is using since iOS14 and allow to enter the time directly
- adding contacts doesn’t offer a search, helps to initially find the contacts to add them 

Thanks for your time

### 4/5 — CatchUp

*2020-07-14, version 2.0*

CatchUp also takes the birthday data from the respective contacts, but always counts one day. 

So did someone on the 19th10. Birthday, CatchUp shows the 20th10.  Why that?

### 5/5 — Reminds me to be better

*2018-05-07, version 1.0*

This has been a good tool to help me keep in touch with friends after graduating school. As friends move away for work etc it’s not easy to maintain friendships, and all too easy to get wrapped up in your own going-ons. It’s nice to get an alert from CatchUp reminding me not to let those people slip away.

### 5/5 — Wonderful!!

*2018-05-06, version 1.0*

Great app!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Great idea but missing things. I could make a better app with AI

*2026-04-28, version 3.2.1*

Add option for comments

### 1/5 — Was great, now app constantly crashes

*2025-11-16*

Been using for a year, but app is basically unusable since the last major iOS update. Contacted dev weeks ago with a response but no follow through. Bummer.

### 1/5 — Idée

*2025-09-29, version 3.2.0*

Je vois que la barre de cherche est très pratique pour votre apps merci

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-09-11, version 3.1.3*

The app is completely unresponsive now.
iPhone 16, iOS 18.6.2

### 3/5 — Last contact date

*2026-04-19, version 3.2.1*

I wish they was a tab to show when you last contacted them. Also a tab to add notes.

### 3/5 — Nice, but missing functionality

*2025-12-30, version 3.2.1*

Simple and looks good.
However if I contact someone before it’s time, there doesn’t seem to be a way to tell the app that and postpone the next notification

### 3/5 — Very rigid configuration

*2025-02-03, version 3.1.3*

I’m looking for a good tool to search my contacts, and set a reminder.   I love that this app allows iCloud sync.  However, there is no ability to search contacts — I have to scroll through my contacts to manually fjnd the person I’m looking for.   Then, if I select a monthly frequency, the date and time seem to be fixed to a month from this moment, not a time I might find convenient to connect with the other person.   Should be able to select day of week and time of day.

### 3/5 — Übernahme von Kontakten fehlerhaft

*2024-04-21, version 3.1.1*

Die App hat Potenzial und ist auch im Großen und Ganzen gut. Bei der Übernahme aus den Kontakten wird die internationale Ländervorwahl, z.B. +49 in eine 0 umgewandelt. Dies ist natürlich für einen Nutzer mit internationalen Kontakten völlig sinnlos. Wenn dieser Fehler behoben wird, gibt’s von mir fünf Sterne.

### 4/5 — Notes

*2025-11-20, version 3.2.1*

I would love to see a Note attached to catch up’s so I can quickly recall what I had wanted to share or remember! Great app, wonderful idea, thank you so much!

### 4/5 — Efficient and simple

*2022-10-14, version 2.0.3*

I love the simple and zen UI. Any way to get more granularity in notification preferences: yearly, half-yearly, quarterly, bi-monthly?

### 5/5 — Handy app

*2025-12-25, version 3.2.1*

Useful to keep track of things

Would love to have more check in options (especially every two weeks, twice a year)

### 5/5 — App works again! Very helpful reminders to connect with long-distance friends.

*2025-11-19, version 3.2.1*

I‘m updating my low rating as this latest version (v3.2.1) now works on iOS 26 with an older iPhone. App is now stable and running great. Thanks for such a great tool!

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-10-25, version 3.2.0*

Good

### 5/5 — Still updating?

*2025-03-16, version 3.1.3*

Hi Ryan, are you still maintaining the app? Not sure, but I’m not receiving push notifications anymore, thought everything is activated?? Using newest IOS. Thanks for an Update 🥰

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-07-09*

Thank you for not making it a subscription and for allowing users to choose a tip amount to support development!

### 5/5 — Love

*2024-04-16, version 3.1.0*

the App

### 5/5 — Great App easy to use.

*2024-04-04, version 3.0.0*

iCloud synchronisation would be great. Maybe in one of the next version? What’s good to is that you have the full functionality without paying anything. But you can pay if you like the app

### 5/5 — Great App, but missing one crucial feature

*2024-04-04, version 3.0.0*

I’d like to note down ideas for presents for each contact in a todo list style. That would make it so much more useful.

### 5/5 — Looks great! Easy to use

*2020-06-19, version 2.0*

Exactly what I was looking for! 

I‘d have some improvement details (for which I would be willing to pay too):
- define groups with same notification preferences (e.g. close friends, wider network, etc)
- bi-monthly reminders
- random reminders over the month (people without reminders set up are randomly allocated over the month)
- ability to use LinkedIn contacts. 
- time of day rather than precise time (e.g. afternoon/evening/morning)

### 5/5 — This app saved my marriage

*2018-05-07, version 1.0*

Before CatchUp, I was constantly ignoring my wife. My record was 16 days without communication, but soon I realized our relationship was on the brink of demise. 

Then along comes CatchUp. I easily set up notifications to reach out to my significant other and tell her about my day, and now our relationship is better than ever!

I would recommend this app to anyone in a relationship they aren’t happy in that they can’t afford to leave
