Easy to use.

### 1/5 — Duplicates another app already doing the job (Contacts). Just confuses my links and defaults.

*2021-01-06*

Please stop changing apps to make slight cosmetic changes. If you can handle it as a smooth (behind the scene) change, fine. If not, STOP moving things around. Stop overwriting my shortcuts and links. This machine us supposed to work for us, not the reverse.
