### 5/5 — Only App That Worked

*2026-08-16, version 2.2*

I’d spent time at the Apple Store and on the phone with Apple figuring out why I couldn’t merge my duplicate contacts. I had 50k contacts full of duplicates. I had to merge all the contacts and this was the only app that worked!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-07, version 2.2*

This app is great

### 5/5 — Has duplicate contacta not any more

*2026-08-01, version 2.2*

Clean your contacta en minutos remove duplicate email, phone and with no name. Worked great had 18000 contacts now have muy less

### 1/5 — DONT USE!!  DELETES CONTACTS YOU DONT WANT DELETED

*2026-07-26, version 2.2*

I wish I had read Gibsae02’s review before I purchased and used this app.  I also had very hopes for this app.  Unfortunately it was the worst thing I ever downloaded.  Constantly deleting my contacts, even after adding them back in the phone, whatever bug the app has will delete them again.  It has been so frustrating.  I’ve lost so many clients contacts, and so many personal context as well.

### 1/5 — Don’t use it!

*2026-07-05, version 2.2*

Terrible app, went from 5900 contacts to 790 then to over 27k contacts!!!  And now the app is locked up.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-06, version 2.2*

I have been trying to clean up and delete all these unwanted contacts for a long time. This app is perfect.

### 5/5 — кайф приложка

имба пользуйтесь👌✌️👍

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2026-05-14, version 2.2*

I just am thrilled with my work sorted out easily thanks to this wonderful contact cleanup app

### 5/5 — Amazing app!!

*2026-05-04, version 2.2*

Way to easy to get rid of all those contacts that you been having there for years! Thank you

### 4/5 — Paid needed but worth it

*2026-04-26*

The free version is good but to fully merge and clean up your contacts the paid version is needed. At 2€ it’s worth what you get but still a little bit sad that everything is paid these days. Especially when coming from Android where there is a free app for basically everything.
