## What is Contaqs?

### 5/5 — SuperApp 😎

*2026-02-19, version 3.1.1*

Desde hace años que uso esta app, es por definición mi app de contactos favorita para gestionar mis amistades familiares y compañeros de trabajo.
Excelente app 👍🏻

### 3/5 — Keine Updates

*2025-12-09*

Schade, dass die App seit über 2 Jahren nicht mehr aktualisiert wird. Dadurch kann ma zB kein dunkles Design einstellen. Die Möglichkeit, Kontakte in Gruppen zu packen und als Favoriten zu markieren, sowie auch die Shortcuts zum Anrufen, etc. sind prima. Ja, die Apple Kontakte App kann das auch aber hier fühlt es sich „smoother“ an. Allerdings nutze ich die App wirklich selten, weil das GUI nicht mehr zeitgemäß und ansprechend ist.

### 3/5 — funktional aber essentielle dinge fehlen

*2025-10-17, version 3.1.1*

es funktioniert alles, aber der fehlende dark mode, das design das gefühlt von windows 2000 adaptiert ist und seit vier jahren keine updates.

schade.

### 5/5 — Avis

*2025-07-03*

Excellent

### 5/5 — Übersichtlich und schnell

*2025-06-13*

Mehr braucht man nicht.

### 2/5 — Letras y números pequeños

*2024-07-26, version 3.1.1*

Tratar de que se pueda poner el modo noche para verse mejor

### 5/5 — Super App

*2024-06-13*

Habe das Bundel zusammen mit miCal gekauft und bin sehr zufrieden. Ein Anliegen habe ich jedoch, und zwar würde ich es gut finden wenn Contaqs auch im dunkel Modus funktionieren würde. Das ist meckern auf hohem Niveau aber eventuell kommt das ja mit einem Update. Auch eine Integration mit der Apple Watch wäre gut. Aber sonst 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

### 4/5 — La compré junto con MiCal

*2023-12-26, version 3.1.1*

La app en IPad está mejor trabajada que en IPhone, visualmente hablando. En ambas tienen las mismas características. 
La idea está muy bien, aunque mejoraría algunas cosas. Mis sugerencias:
En vez de mandar un SMS, poder enviarle al contacto un WhatsApp. 
No pude conectarlo con los contactos de Facebook, aunque esto no me preocupa. Sería más interesante que pueda coger los contactos de WhatsApp y WhatsApp Business. 
Tema Grupos, no es tan “fácil” escoger los contactos para enviarlos al grupo deseado. Al seleccionar los que deseo, solamente pasa uno. 
El resto está muy bien. Ojalá una próxima actualización lo integre más con los contactos de WhatsApp (estaría bien que las imágenes de los contactos se actualicen según las fotos de los perfiles del WhatsApp).

### 4/5 — Gut, aber braucht einen neuen Anstrich

*2023-09-23*

Inhaltlich wirklich gut, aber wenn kein Designupdate kommt, ist der Absprung irgendwann notwendig. Ist hier etwas geplant?

### 5/5 — Der Beste im Store

*2023-07-11*

Das ist meiner Meinung nach der beste Kontakte Manager im App Store !!! Viele Einstellungsmöglichkeiten sind vorhanden so das man es anpassen kann wie man möchte !!! Allerdings fehlen auch einige Dinge wie zum Beispiel der Dark Mode und wenn möglich CardDAV, aber bitte als Option in den Einstellungen der App so das man eine direkte Verbindung zu seiner Synology DiskStation herstellen kann !!! Ansonsten ist das eine Perfekte Kontakte App die ich weiterempfehlen kann !!!
