### 5/5 — Unglaubliche App für Networking und Kontaktpflege

*2026-08-16*

Es ist möglich zu dem Gespräch mit einem Kontakt alle wichtigen Informationen festzuhalten und auch für das nächste Gespräch sich vorzubereiten.

### 1/5 — Horrendous Set Up

*2026-08-04, version 3.64.0*

I quite literally never write negative reviews . I wasted more time setting this up and attempting to delete it than anything else. Then it would auto start on my desktop, not allow me to close it out or force quit,  which would then not allow me to delete the app itself . This is wild

### 2/5 — Cannot really test

*2026-05-08*

There is no free plan to really test. 7 day trial is way too short for testing a relationship building tool. It seems to be more a list of contacts like so many other CRMs. Cannot test without giving your credentials to your Google or other accounts – phishy. Also, I found people reporting that data was not deleted after they cancelled – a huge privacy concern. Deleted it before even being able to create a first contact.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2026-02-10, version 3.51.0*

It’s a great concept and should be the perfect thing, but I cannot get it to fully connect to appointments and email.

### 2/5 — More AI needed

*2026-01-02*

I wish there was more AI features to do the heavy lifting, much manual work here - will come under severe pressure from mail apps that are baking in most CRM features now…

### 2/5 — Too many bugs

*2025-11-21*

The app has got huge potential and it solve the purpose of managing networking. However, the save and add buttons don’t work. This is not expected with the kind of money. It asks.

### 1/5 — No communications

*2025-11-05, version 3.37.0*

Two emails and no response to either. This app is dead.

### 1/5 — I was so excited.   Was

*2025-10-10, version 3.32.0*

I was excited what this tool could do.  But I can’t even get past the intro part of the app.  Hope they make some changes.  Cool concept.  Just couldn’t actually get into it.

### 1/5 — I really wanted this to work

*2025-10-06, version 3.30.0*

The concept was really great, but I ran into so many obstacles in trying to get through the basic on boarding process, I was never able to actually use the app.

### 1/5 — Slow

*2025-09-02, version 3.27.0*

First impression, very slow
