### 1/5 — Not what I wanted

*2025-06-29*

First of all, many fields were mixed up (names in phone number fields, etc.). Secondly, some very important elements weren’t even included, such as Notes!!

**Developer response:** Hello.  Thank you for the feedback. Sorry to hear the app didn't work as expected for you. The latest update published (1.3.0) now includes the contact notes field in the export file. Please reach out at info@technomagination.com if you need additional support.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2021-05-12*

This saved a ton of time getting contacts off of an unmanaged device so we could then import them to our Exchange server and the contacts would be visible to a managed device in our environment. The amount of time and money this app saved us is crazy as stated in the title this is an Awesome App.
