### 2/5 — Crashes on opening in iPad

*2026-07-23, version 1.6*

I can’t get this app to stay open on my iPad. I’ve tried restarting the iPad and the iPad is fairly new.

### 3/5 — Just a thought.

*2026-07-13, version 1.6*

It’s great that you can save previous addresses, but it would also be nice if you could save the from & to dates of these addresses. I know that I access this data the most when people ask me for the last several years of address history.

### 2/5 — Improve

*2026-07-10, version 1.6*

Would really help if it wasn’t so glitchy and you were able to sort by most recent added thank you

### 1/5 — Bad design and buggy

*2026-07-01, version 1.6*

Many bugs, on top of an already clunky user interface.

### 1/5 — fix this app

*2026-06-30, version 1.6*

Can’t send text messages from Contacts or do anything just phone calls the four buttons at the top are just solid grey permanently.

### 1/5 — I can’t see my friends numbers

*2026-06-27, version 1.6*

I honestly hate this app. It doesn’t let me text my friends I feel like contacts need to fix this.

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2026-06-27, version 1.6*

The worst contacts ever I’m uninstalling and KIDS DONT DOWNLOAD THIS APP I swear I’m not using this again but messages and phone

### 1/5 — Not sure why people like this.

*2026-06-25, version 1.6*

The app is a  little confusing when entering addresses for contacts. Also, the only options given for contact photos are silly, cartoon animals, and the 🙂. You can use photos from your phone, but who is going to ask everyone for a photo to put in their phone? It would be nice to maybe have something that is more for adults- like maybe a         stethoscope for my doctor, the Bowl of Hygeia for the pharmacist, or use company logos. It never crops photos well, all you can do is zoom into the center of a photo and it always cuts it into a circle. So if what you want is not in the exact center of the photo, you will not really see it in the contact photo. 

You have to assign ringtones individually when creating the contacts. There is no setting in the phone. So if you decide to change ringtones for a group, you will have to do it for each individual contact in that group.  

I have been across many platforms in the cell phone game. This is probably the least  lackluster and the most confusing. True, there really isn’t much difficulty in figuring out a Contacts app. Feedback is a little tricky with Apple, so the app doesn’t change much.

### 2/5 — ECPA & CFAA violations

*2026-06-16, version 1.6*

Several number changes and hoping to not have that continue. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Message from contact icon malfunction

*2026-06-09, version 1.6*

Since the report a problem is not accessible in this app, please fix my ability to access and use the messaging and FaceTime icons in each contact. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-06-07, version 1.6*

Buggy

### 1/5 — It’s alright

*2026-06-07, version 1.6*

When I first downloaded this app I thought oh okay this is really cool , but when I tried to do it not my friend Emma it did stay as soon as I left the app or left the contact name the images would leave or it wouldn’t save and I have tried so many time so no it doesn’t work don’t add this app

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-06-03, version 1.6*

It’s having issue when I try to merge duplicate contacts.

### 1/5 — Needs Multiedit

Why on earth is this app so garbage… come on Apple I know you can do way better.

### 1/5 — Needs update

Update

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-31, version 1.6*

you can’t seem to edit anything on an iPhone but this one is the worst

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-07-22, version 1.6*

It erased or dissapeared home and work addresses

### 1/5 — Deoxys

*2026-07-15, version 1.6*

Deooooooooooooxys

### 1/5 — Tim Cook Is Stepping  down

*2026-07-13, version 1.6*

But Why ? You'll  never know the truth...

### 1/5 — So damn complicated

*2026-07-06, version 1.6*

Why is it so damn complicated to move contacts between multiple lists? It should be as easy as selecting a contact and having an option to move that contact over, or even tapping, holding and moving them around.

### 1/5 — I’m sad now

*2026-07-05, version 1.6*

It didn’t let me message

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-07-01, version 1.6*

Use to be able to share contacts right from messages now they took it away so you have to have this stupid app. I don’t need 6 apps to keep track of my gd contacts. JFC i can’t wait to get rid of Apple

### 5/5 — Great App. Don’t Listen to Any of the Bad Ratings

*2026-08-12, version 1.6*

I don’t know why the app is rated is so low. You can easily manage every person’s phone number you have on the Contacts app. You can text people off of the Contacts app, call people off the Contact’s app. A couple of things you can enter in about the person are their pronouns, their birthday, or their address. So say the person’s name is I dunno, Dave. You can say “Hey Siri, take me to Dave’s house.” And Siri will pull up the directions to Dave’s house. Pretty useful, huh? Don’t listen to any of the bad rating. This app is great for organizing every person’s number you have and lots more that I didn’t mention. Totally recommended.
