Doesn’t work
Says it allows searching by fields other than the name, but it doesn’t. I’m on IOS 17.3; probably is no longer being updated. Submitted an error report; didn’t hear back. This should be removed from the App Store. Requested a refund.
Don't download
Terrible app doesn't even work...it wouldn't load my contacts into the app, it would just show a loading screen. I wouldn't even have rated it a star...save your money people.
What A Shame!!!
I downloaded the app and it started to import my contacts. Leaving the phone turned on for approximately 36 HOURS it was still important contacts. I doubt if it will ever finish. I had a Palm and it could search contracts. This app looked like it could work as well, but it just cant get its act together.

This is most under-rated App
This is the most unknown, undiscovered gem of an app I know about! It's an absolute necessity for anyone who has a multitude of contacts in their address book and who use the "notes" section to include supplementary names, extensions and other useful bits of info that are not included in normal contact information. If you have more than 100 names in your address book and also use the "notes" and any other sections of the contact page for important additional info (like name of secretary, name of customer service rep, categories like painters, carpenters, other info you include in "notes" section)- this app is a must!

5 star app only used 1 star to gain attention from developers
I would love to see an update that stops the needs to even use stock address book in a sense except for adding contacts and syncing to other apple devices and apps. As of now in order to see all contacts you leave the search field empty press search and all the main info pops up except for notes and dates or anniversaries. This could be easily fixed with a view all button that let's you view ALL INFO on every contact. Other than that one flaw this is one of my favorite apps.

Great App!
It works as advertised. I am now able to search using any criteria such notes. Its great. The only drawback is having to remember to import contact every time one updats ones contact in outlook or on the phone
Wish it worked better
This is about version 1.2. for iPad (32 GB). The idea is wonderful, I just wish it actually found all matching entries. I have about 5000 contacts, and while it said it loaded them all, a search finds only a small number of entries I know would match my simple criteria. I'll hang onto the app in case a future update improves, since this is an app I really could use if it worked as advertised.

This app is now even more valuable!
Apple has truncated the notes field to just 12 lines in iOS4 instead of the full screen view it has in all previous versions of its firmware. For most business people, who have lots of notes, it is now very difficult to wade through your notes with iOS4. Your app shows a nice full screen view of the notes and makes it easy to read. Thanks so much.
I have complained to Apple of how "stupid" is was for them to only show 12 lines of notes, but so far, as of iOS 4.0.2, they have not changed it.

IT Pro
Fails to load more than 778 contacts so completely useless for me. Tech support non- responsive. Waste of $$ unless you have few contacts.
how do i get a refund
it wouldnt even import all my contacts
so i dont know how it works
it crashed after 700 contacts imported
and there is no one to contact on the blog link
Does what it should!
This app loaded my 600 contacts, quickly. Does not have to reload every time. Search by notes, partial name and phone number worked like you would expect. Call can be placed directly from this app.
Contact search
Perfect! loaded all my contacts fast! works great. just what i needed
Inconsistent
This application does not find some obvious searches. Yet it finds hidden ones.
A truly useful app!
This is one of my favorite apps. Anyone who has used Blackberry's address book will know how much better it is than Apple's address book. This handy app, which is one of many things Apples address book should have had built in does not close the gap but at least starts narrow it.
It works perfectly
This app read my 3200 contacts without a problem. So it seems that the latest version has gotten rid of the quirks. It does the job as promised.
Very good indeed after upgrade
Contact Find originally had it all except for speed. It searches in all fields and is very efficient. It you, as I, use the notes field as a free-form database for all kinds of information, you need a fast and reliable search engine to find things. Contact Find now qualifies. I have about 1,300 contacts, some of them with a large amount of text in the notes field. I can enter any string and it is found in very few seconds. It does this by keeping available the last set of Outlook contacts that was fed into it so that it does not have to reload them when it receives a query. Thus, it is a good idea manually to order it to update its contacts once in a while. Otherwise the newest information will not be available. That is a small priice to pay!

This is exactly what I was hoping to find in an application of this type!!
it is an excellent application, It looks in every text of the contact making it much easier to find. It is just what the iPhone needed. It is very stable.
Congratulations!!!! Goood Job!!!
Confused
Is there any way to SMS from this app. If so, this is a 5 star app!
RETRACT !!!!Crashes all the time - worthless
I will take back my original post and say thank you for fixing the problem. I updated the program to the latest version and that fixed the problem. I successfully inported 3700 contacts within a reasonable period of time.
Great idea....HORRIBLE implementation !!
I have 1900 contacts and many, many "notes" in those contacts. I can't believe that the phone does not come with a good search of all fields in contacts - but was happy to purchase an app that does this. I read the terrible reviews, but am desperate - so I purchased it anyway. It keeps crashing - will not read beyond 58 contacts - does not work...........
I cannot believe that this program made it to the app store !! TERRIBLE !!
