### 3/5 — Hopeful

*2026-02-02*

Seemed like a good app. One week in and it won’t open. 🤞🏽 they fix it.

### 4/5 — Quick Strike

*2025-12-24*

This is a very handy ineffective tool to quickly attach follow up notes. I’ve had hundreds of apps, but I keep this right on the top. Will not give five stars just to make sure you guys don’t clutch it with unnecessary bells and whistles otherwise right on target👏👍
If you add an option to make it confidential and encrypted for each entry, then I will give you five star ! 🌟

### 1/5 — Lost Data

*2025-06-02*

I lost years worth of contact notes suddenly one day.  No way to get them back.

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about your experience. All data is stored locally on your device for privacy, and not on our servers. To prevent data loss, the app includes automatic backup and restore features that make it easy to keep your information safe. Feel free to reach out if you need help using them.

### 4/5 — Useful to use

*2025-04-21, version 24.10.04*

Useful and effective app to use however could be a little more useful if it was to be made possible for the first individual being added after installing app to automatically save after entering initial information without going through the additional steps of setting up reminders and adding any specific moments, as well as being able to view message templates whether or not already have contact information saved.

### 4/5 — Useful to use

*2024-09-27, version 24.04.03*

Useful and effective app to use, however could be a little more useful if it was to be made possible for the first individual being added after installing app to automatically save after entering initial information without going through the additional steps of setting up reminders and adding any specific moments.

### 5/5 — Great interface and really useful

*2022-07-02, version 22.02.17*

Really useful for keeping track of relationships. Interface is very simple and does what you need.

### 5/5 — Love this app!!

*2022-05-15*

This app is great for keeping track of who you’ve been in touch with. It’s also a great way to save memories that you’ve shared with someone. I like being able to scroll through those memories and to add notes for each of my contacts. 

There are several moment types to choose from however, I wish there was an option for “Video Called.” 

The only other things I would change is being able to jump to a letter in “All contacts” instead of scrolling through them and being able to add videos to memories instead of just photos (even if the videos would have to be short). 

But overall, this app is amazing! I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to grow their current or new friendships and relationships. :)

### 1/5 — Unable to select contact

*2021-11-10*

Unable to select contact in iMessage app. Please fix this issue. Other wise the app is good!

### 5/5 — Great App! Highly recommend!

*2020-07-21*

Really love this app. It’s created a great way for me to reach out to all my contacts. Each person can get assigned an interval so I don’t forget to reach out to anyone. There are reminders for birthdays and one to write in other events (kids birthdays, anniversiaries, etc). I can even set random follow-ups for the future. It has really helped me to feel more connected with my friends & family. Highly
