Pointless

15 years after my initial 1 star review of this app the developer wrote me to try the app, now free, and amend my review. I can’t see a need for it today so I am not rating it any stars.

Apparently I can’t avoid one star if I write a review so I will give it one for simply that reason.

I can not believe the developer needs to go to the effort for a free app that is being literally given away.

Response from developer

Thanks for trying Contacts Duster again. The app has been rebuilt and recently updated with safer duplicate review/merge flows and clearer backup behavior, but it sounds like it still did not meet what you needed. If a specific cleanup, backup, or export step failed or felt confusing, please contact us at https://www.myclickapps.com/contact so we can investigate it directly.

Do not use this app

Doesn’t work and says it’s no longer active for support and is currently having issues. Do not use this app.

Response from developer

Sorry for the old experience. We released a new version of ContactsDuster with better stability, clearer backup reminders, and safer review steps before cleanup. Please update, and contact us if anything still fails: https://www.myclickapps.com/contact

Lacking

The app is in desperate need of an update. I paid for the upgrade but it prompts to purchase the cloud backup option every time you open it, which is extremely frustrating since I back up to the iCloud. The app’s auto-dust feature does not work well, at least on my device running the latest iOS. There is also no support for this app, from the app itself. I was expecting more from a paid app.
