*2024-10-25, version 3.7*

I don't know what's going on on with this app use to be great now when I send a email backups it fails to send it I've tr eve

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-07-23, version 3.7*

I've had this app quite some time now and frankly it's an awesome app I got the paid version after testing and checking it out this is the app for contacts easy to use and a great interface

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-07-14, version 3.7*

I have run through the process using every option and yet I am a still seeing multiple duplicates and this is with the pro version and I cannot see anywhere to get support

### 5/5 — Flawless

*2022-04-13, version 3.7*

This is what I was waiting for

### 5/5 — It Works

*2021-06-02, version 3.7*

This ap just does what it is intended to do. It manages contacts. Changes my 10+ year old addressbook that was messed with Google emails and FB profiles from 6000+ contacts to relevant 1800 contacts in minutes of fiddling with it.

What can be improved:
The process of selecting duplicates to be deleted has a back and forth toggling, it can use UI improvement by adding a delete bin in the duplicate selection page.

### 3/5 — Notes in Contacts:

*2021-03-13, version 3.7*

Like the app for finding duplicates. IT WILL NOT TRANSFER the notes section when merging contacts.

### 1/5 — Very slow no Benefit

*2021-01-17, version 3.7*

return my money

### 4/5 — Well worth it

*2020-11-01, version 3.7*

I had thousands of duplicates and went to just under 400 or so. I was so happy to see that. The next day I had a ton of spam email though. Not sure if that’s related though

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2020-10-24, version 3.7*

I spent hours trying to find online instructions on how to merge and tidy my contacts. Failed!
 
Eventually found this app, bought it and it did the whole job perfectly in less than two minutes! Fantastic job!

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2020-09-09*

Working great 
It’s save lots of time and energy 
Simple click to fix all...
