Doesn’t work.

This app doesn’t work. It tried merging 10 different names & that was the entire system. That’s AFTER upgrading for $2. It’s a scam. DO NOT BUY.

Pressed the wrong button & was CHARGED $2!

I hope this is not some monthly scam just to have them steal a couple of dollars every month from me, and only a one time mistake, especially when I couldn't even use the service to help me clean up the contacts I was trying to fix! Boo!

FAQ

What does ContactClean do?

ContactClean helps you clean and organize your mobile address book. It automatically detects and merges duplicate contacts, finds missing information to complete entries, and allows you to remove old or irrelevant data. The app also provides features for backing up your address book and deleting multiple contacts at once.

How does the automatic cleanup feature work?

The automatic cleanup feature scans your address book for duplicate contacts that share the same name and phone number or email address. It then offers to automatically combine these duplicates into a single, complete contact entry, saving you time and effort.

Is ContactClean free to use?

The application is free to download and use, with in-app purchases available. This means you can utilize its core features without initial cost, and optional advanced functionalities or services may require a purchase.

What is the best way to sync contacts for this app?

This app works best when your contacts are synced to iCloud. Syncing with other data sources, such as computers or other servers, might revert the cleaned contacts to their previous state after you have made changes.

Can I manually decide how to merge contacts?

Yes, in addition to automatic cleanup, you have the option to manually review and decide how to merge duplicate contacts. This gives you full control over combining partial or duplicated entries into a single, accurate contact profile.
