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. ### 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! ### 1/5 — Bug *2020-06-03* There is a bug in the app that whenever I open my contact information, the app closes. Please resolve this issue ### 2/5 — A bug changes birthdates in contacts *2018-10-04* Ive been looking for an app like this forever! It is fantastic, however I recently discovered a major flaw in your app. It will modify my contact’s birthdates to be a day early without me doing anything. This came to my attention when I would get a notification for someone’s birthday a day early. I assumed it was an option I just needed to change for early reminders, but low and behold when when one time I wished a contact happy birthday from my personal contact database and it was three days early I decided to look into what was going on. The damage has been done. I have no clue how many dates were compromised, but my question is whether I remove your app or wait until there is an update. I wanted to bring this to your attention. Thought this would be the best way since I couldn’t find an email. **Developer response:** Hi 'The Only Rogy', Thank you for your feedback and time to explain your experience. We are sorry to hear about the birthdates issue. We are looking into this! Please stay tuned. -- Dear 'The Only Rogy', we've looked into this issue but we can't reproduce it. The application is not modifying any (birthday) dates of the contacts. If you run into this again, could you please contact us by email: info@goodmorninglabs.com. Thanks a lot. ### 3/5 — Hopeful *2026-02-02* Seemed like a good app. One week in and it won’t open. 🤞🏽 they fix it. ### 3/5 — Seems unfinished *2019-10-30* It looks good and seems to do almost everything I want. I wish it would save back the info in moments into the iOS notes app. The real issue, which I assume is a bug, is that once you add one contact from your Contacts, you cannot add another. This makes no sense. I added just one to test it out. When I tried to add more, I tap on the + button in the people tab but all I can do is manually add contacts. There’s no way to add more from the Contacts app! **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! We’ll take your feedback to improve future versions. You can find all your contacts on the contacts tab - all contacts. Tap on In Touch to change the filter. For more feedback, please email support@goodmorninglabs.com Thanks! ### 3/5 — Needs a few details *2018-10-01* I love the idea of this app. I planned on using it for my work to keep in touch with clients to set reminders to contact them, how I know them, and other details to keep the relationship between us strong. I wish you were able pick what contacts you want in there instead of your whole contact book. Is there a way to delete certain contacts so I can use it just for clients? **Developer response:** We are happy to share that it is now possible to only import selected contacts. Thanks for using Contact Journal and sharing your feedback ### 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 ! 🌟 ### 4/5 — Quick Strike *2025-12-20* 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👏👍 ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 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. :) ### 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 ### 5/5 — No bugs, perfect experience *2020-06-11* This app has changed the way that I manage personal client relationships. Amazing experience and interface. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Can’t add important dates *2020-06-15* Great app except There doesn’t seem to be a way to add important dates. The field is there but the pencil icon to edit it isn’t ### 4/5 — Can’t syncronize *2018-08-02* Can’t syncronize between iphone and iPad... **Developer response:** Sync is now supported.
