Good but bugs
Very easy to use but still slow screen transitions
Schlechte App, stürzt direkt ab
App lässt sich nicht synchronisieren und lässt mich auch nicht mehr in den Account weil der Sync Vorgang nicht abgeschlossen werden kann.
Didn’t help with primary use case: syncing contacts
Covve’s online marketing suggested that the app would help me sync my iPhone contacts with Linkedin to keep all that data up to date. This functionality is either not in the app or so buried that I couldn’t find it.
Doesn’t work
Spent hours trying to get this to work on my phone, Mac, and iPad.. I log in and it sends me back to the login screen. Horrible!
App doesn’t work
App doesn’t work. Stuck on load screen indefinitely.
Dead ends
The app constantly leads to dead ends. You can’t make a mistake or change your mind when setting up the app as it brings you to a screen of no return - no way to go back, no way to escape. Even if you force quit the app it launches again still on the screen of no return. I uninstalled and tried again but because I’ve never used an app like this before I made another mistake and reached a point of no return. I may try uninstalling and give it one more try. If it does it again I’m gone, and so will be anyone who might ask me about it.

How not to make an app
I originally started using the app to store all of my professional contacts. It wasn’t and still isn’t that user friendly, you can often struggle to locate your contacts details and so as a CRM system, in design it fails. What’s worse is that they’ve included an extremely long and complex encryption key, which you need to copy somewhere should you ever need to log in in the future. After receiving an email from Covve advising me to log in after a period of inactivity, I logged out of the app with a view to logging back in again only to find that because I hadn’t recorded an encryption key, I could no longer access my records. The ONLY copy of this key is in the app itself, defeating the point of a safe and secure system, dictating a need to copy/paste a password elsewhere which in itself isn’t secure. By design, this app is a failure, and should this scenario ever happen to you you will be bluntly advised that Covve cannot assist or support you and your contact details have been lost and account permanently deleted. Avoid this app, there are better alternatives.

Great and Simple to Use
The biggest challenge with Covve is remembering to save yourself time and get in touch with people directly through the app. Wish there was a clearer onboarding process as I still feel a little lost. Highly recommend it!
App was working perfectly but now it’s stuck on syncing
App was working perfectly between my iPhone and my iPad but my iPad suddenly wanted to sync and now when I login it’s stuck on the “fetching data” screen and stays at 0%. Reached out to support with no response.
I started to just use the iPhone app and thought I’d wait for a response from support but now my iPhone is doing the same thing. When I login it’s stuck on 0% when trying to fetch my data. So now I can’t use the app at all.
Any support from tech support would be greatly appreciated because I am a paid subscriber.

Hi Jmug, somehow your review had slipped by - apologies for the late response. I'm fairly certain our support team would have helped with this (we respond in less than 24 hours). But if there's still an issue do write to us! All the best, Alex (cofounder)
Love it! Have some suggestions
I’ve been looking for an app like this and have been thinking about it!! I have a few suggestions,
I’d like to see an option to save that digital scan of the card. Maybe a tab so we can see it, some people remember things better with the look of the card and associating it with a conversation or person.
I’d also like to see a bit more customization options with the app! I don’t know if I missed it, but perhaps if we could customize the blue accent color of the app or something! Since we’d be able to show our e-cards and phones to people, i think that personalization would be so neat.
One more thing, I’d like to see a feature on the photo option, where we can choose “logo” and scan the logo on the card to save it as a scan instead of a photo-
just some suggestions! Thank you covve!

Hi there! Alex here, cofounder at Covve. Thanks for all the suggestions! They all make sense and I've passed them on to our product team to either add to our list or to boost their priority if already there. Regarding the ecards specifically we do offer completely custom cards (either digital or also physical contactless), you can find out more here: https://covve.com/digital-business-card/ All the best, Alex (cofounder)
tags aren't synced with google or ios
Which means the contact data in Covve is limited to the app, so once you begin using it one is boxed in. I also get notifications then when I open the app from the notification it doesn't connect to anything specific. I am unable (or I am not aware of how to get there) to see notifications inside the app.
Seems like a great idea but it can't be the place my data lives for contacts. it needs to be a place i do things with contacts and build relationships.
Tags can be synced as I have other apps (contacts+) which does this well.
I will use the app when they solve for this.

Good to stay in touch with my colleagues
This tool is great for keeping in touch with my 25 colleagues and reminds me to invest in social fabric instead of just meeting transactionally in meetings and around tasks.
I really miss the opportunity to have a desktop version so I can extend to the rest of my network. Managing them on my phone is inefficient and takes too much screen time. I hope that the developers can inform me if this is planned to be offered.

Hi there, An absolutely valid request! We do have an experimental web app we can add you to right away (just email us at support@covve.com) and you'll be pleased to know we're starting development of a brand new desktop/web app as we speak. All the best, Alex (cofounder)
Great
Such a great CRM tool.
Ability to turn on ‘dark’ mode would be great as would further business card designs.
Would also be helpful to be able to customise what you see on each screen and be able to send contacts to other people in your company.

Excellent Product!! Great for Keeping up with people
Great app - needs more features
This is an excellent contact & relationship management app.
What it is missing is an easy & interactive way to request more features or submit feedback.
What I would like to see is: 1) Integration with LinkedIn instead of manual support. 2) A way to add children’s / spouse’s birthday reminders to each contact. Or other special days. Right now it forces you to add a custom tag to a date which ends up cluttering tag options for all contacts.

Hi OrganizedUser! We're very open to feedback, please send any and all ideas and suggestions to team@covve.com! In terms of #1, thank you for the feedback, have passed on to our product team already. For #2, indeed you can add any special date to any contact and that makes the tag available for other contacts you want to use. I get that in some cases tags may not be relevant to other people and this would clutter the tags list - taking it on board! Many thanks, Alex (cofounder)
Language
A good app overall. Rated it 3 stars but would have given it a 4 if it supports other languages like Chinese and Japanese
Great app
Reminds me to keep touch
Covve - very powerful
This a great app for lazy or overcommitted people to ise throughout their lives to enrich their spirit with sustained friendship. I wish I had discovered this 40 years sgo
I am very satisfied with this app but there’s also room for improvement
1. Please have a todo list as well.
2. Please sort This Week reminders so that, older contacted persons shows on top.
3. If possible, some kind of notification, for incoming calls from Relationships contacts, so that we don’t forget to make notes.
Hope developers will make note of above suggestion.

Hi Subarnaraj, many thanks for the feedback. We're constantly improving Covve and this kind of feedback is exactly what drives us in the right direction. They have all been passed to our product team already! All the best, Alex (cofounder)
Insanely low contact limit
I just need an app where I can add notes to my contacts so I can remember personal details (the native iOS contacts app doesn’t work because when you share a contact, it also shares any notes you’ve added). This app was working fine until I realized the free version is limited to only 20 contacts, rendering it effectively useless. I want to use this app strictly for personal usage, not business, so I’m not going to shell out $13 per month. I would rate this app 5 stars if the free version allowed me to add unlimited contacts and locked premium features behind a paywall, but I’m not paying more than $5 when all I need is virtual index cards
