### 1/5 — Commercials are ridiculous

*2026-08-26, version 2.0*

Commercials are ridiculous!

### 5/5 — Very cool

*2026-08-22, version 2.0*

Very easy and effective results

### 3/5 — Works, but with a limit

*2026-08-16, version 2.0*

It does what it says, but it only allows 30 contacts merges at a time. Then you have to watch an ad, and then you do another 30.
I would suggest watching an ad and then complete all contacts.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2026-08-02, version 2.0*

This is a scam!!

### 1/5 — Deletes Notes and More

*2026-07-27, version 2.0*

I cannot reach anyone to undo my merger—I still have duplicates, the app has deleted all unmatched information, it does not merge 5 of the same
contact. If you have any notes or birthday etc—they are also deleted. If someone could reach me how to undo the merge would be appreciated as there is no way to contact this developed

### 5/5 — Класс

*2026-07-16*

Молодцы. Хороший сервис и бесплатный

### 2/5 — Gave lots of contacts the same photo!

*2026-07-01, version 1.15*

The app merged quickly my contacts but decided to give so many of my contacts the same picture. Not sure what was the logic behind it but I obviously wish it hadn’t!

### 5/5 — Legendary App

*2026-04-08, version 1.15*

It does exactly what it promises. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2026-02-15, version 1.15*

Unfortunately as of 2026 the app doesn’t show the names of the contacts. It seems to pull all of the information appropriately but the app is essentially non-functional without being able to see the names of the contacts you’re trying to edit.

### 5/5 — Это РАБОТАЕТ!!!

*2025-12-14*

7500 контактов почистились и объединились в 2500 - это чудо!!!!
