## What is Contacts Duster Pro?

ContactsDuster Pro is one of the original iPhone contacts cleanup apps, helping people dust messy address books since 2010.

Redesigned in SwiftUI with a fresh Liquid Glass feel, ContactsDuster Pro keeps contact cleanup simple: find duplicates, merge repeated people, remove empty zombie contacts, organize groups, and keep a backup ready when you need it.

Pro cleanup tools:
- Clean duplicate contacts quickly
- Merge matching names, phone numbers, and email addresses
- Remove empty or incomplete zombie contacts
- Organize contact groups
- Export contacts as vCard
- Back up and restore with backup history in your iCloud account

ContactsDuster Pro works directly with your iPhone and iPad contacts. Your address book stays yours: contacts are not uploaded to us, and backup history is saved in your own iCloud account so we do not have access to it.

### 1/5 — Used to be reliable

*2025-02-04*

Haven’t used this app in about 3 years. It used to be great.  I had Pro Lifetime.  But now it can’t Restore Purchase and any type of action crashes the app. 

ITS USELESS

**Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed note. We released a new SwiftUI rebuild of ContactsDuster Pro with a cleaner interface, better stability, clearer backup history, and safer review steps before cleanup. Please update to the latest version, and if Restore Purchase or any action still fails, contact us so we can help: https://www.myclickapps.com/contact

### 1/5 — Out of business

*2020-06-05*

Bought the lifetime back up only to find out I can’t set up an account. My data is not in the right format? No contact info. Useless. Hope I can get my money $20 back.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting this. ContactsDuster Pro has a new release now, and support is active again. Please update to the latest version, then contact us if account, backup, or purchase restore still fails: https://www.myclickapps.com/contact

### 4/5 — Bom

*2020-02-25*

Bom

### 2/5 — Sort of worked

*2020-02-05*

But is also deleted some of my contacts. I had some duplicate names with different phone numbers that it didn’t merge. It just picked one and deleted the others.

**Developer response:** We are sorry for that cleanup result. The new SwiftUI release adds safer review steps before merge or delete and improves how duplicate cleanup preserves available fields. Please update, and contact us if you still see a risky merge: https://www.myclickapps.com/contact

### 1/5 — What a con

*2019-09-24, version 3.8*

Worse than useless, can't do a thing with it unless you buy it!

### 1/5 — Horrible app that doesn’t work, wants to charge you money for not working.

*2019-01-30*

Don’t download this piece of crap

**Developer response:** Sorry the old version failed for you. ContactsDuster Pro has a new release with a modern interface, better stability, and clearer cleanup review steps. Please update and contact us if anything still does not work: https://www.myclickapps.com/contact

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2018-01-02*

It does not work in the latest IOS, it fails with error CNerrorDomain error 500

**Developer response:** Thanks for flagging the iOS error. ContactsDuster Pro has been refreshed for modern iOS with a new interface and safer cleanup flow. Please update to the latest version and contact us if you still see any CNErrorDomain issue: https://www.myclickapps.com/contact

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2017-01-07*

Does not do what it says it will do. Every time you use it, you get those stupid pop-up "ads" for some idiotic game that you can't get out of for 5 or 6 seconds. I will never ever respond to that kind of ad. They are terrible and are dumbing down the populace.

**Developer response:** We are sorry the older version felt this way. The new ContactsDuster Pro release removes a lot of old friction and focuses on private cleanup, backup history, and safer review before changes. Contact us if you still see a problem: https://www.myclickapps.com/contact
