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. **Developer response:** You were right that the app needed an update. ContactsDuster has now been refreshed with a modern interface, clearer backup reminders, and safer cleanup review flows. Please update to the latest version, and contact us if prompts or purchases still do not look right: https://www.myclickapps.com/contact ### 3/5 — Back up your contacts before trying this tool *2017-01-21, version 5.9* This tool is yet another bandage on a poor iPhone app. Be careful using it as you will lose contacts. ### 2/5 — Test is useless *2016-12-07* I downloaded the "free" app to test drive and was bombarded with requests to pay for the app. I don't think so! I don't even know if it works! **Developer response:** 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 ### 4/5 — Excellent cleaning agent for every phone must have *2016-07-19* It's an expresso app for mobile health which can clean duplicate contacts with indicator..... **Developer response:** Thank you for using ContactsDuster.

I only opened it once while bored waiting in line, I "dusted" my duplicates. I opened it again today while upgrading my iPhone, deciding what apps I want to kill. I dusted again and made a few groups. This is a GREAT App if you are like me and have hundreds of disparate friends and acquaintances around the planet. I have a number of mail/phone/message apps each with their own contacts that have vampired from other Apps. You know the deal. This App gathered them all up and "dusted" the dupes! I found 2 contacts I thought had been lost!! No idea how it is able to get inside all my Apps but better this software than Big Brother. Thanks **Developer response:** Thank you for using ContactsDuster over the years. The app has a new release now with a cleaner interface, better performance, and clearer backup and review steps before cleanup.

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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2020-08-22* Amazing app - allowed me to clear all my contacts one by one ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2016-05-10* Every phone needs App like this to eliminate duplicate contacts acts n zombies..
