REVIEWS FROM USERS

"Very easy to use! This is the first app I've ever paid money for - so worth it! I exported to CSV format, emailed the file to myself, and checked - all the info came over." -- Jean06066

"Saved my contacts. To make a long story short I spent two days trying to untangle a horrible outlook contact snafu on my iPhone that iCloud could not save me from. I discovered this app and it saved them all. Worth the small price." -- seattlejr

"Did exactly what I needed. I can’t believe Apple makes it so hard to bulk export contacts from one iPhone to another. This app took exactly 2 minutes from install through having all my contacts from my old phone in a file I could import into iCloud and other apps. Best money I’ve spent in a long time." -- NoMoreNicknamez

"Amazing. Very quick and easy to transfer my contacts.  This app worked perfectly in seconds." -- Coach KBD

### 5/5 — Great app, great support!

*2026-08-02, version 3.6*

This app satisfies my concerns about having a backup for my Contacts. While Contacts are also in iCloud, that is not a safe form of backup. I misunderstood one step in the install & initial running of the app. The email support responded within hours & answered further questions about functionality, also within hours. It’s really rare to get fast helpful support from app developers, this set a new high standard I wish all app vendors would aspire to. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Simple to use App

*2026-07-20, version 3.6*

So easy a guy can learn to use this contact export app.

### 5/5 — Saved my tucas

*2026-05-16, version 3.6*

Zombie account losing 2,800 contacts.  Email account dead.  CSV and v-cards saved the day

### 1/5 — 100 contacts that’s all?

*2026-04-13, version 3.6*

I need more than 100 contacts backed up.

### 1/5 — Sham

*2026-04-01, version 3.6*

App has 100 person sample. Doesn’t work. Then nothing. Bombarded with Ads that clog usage. Conclusion: worthless and a massive waste of time for me.

### 1/5 — Only 100 Free Downloads

*2026-03-22, version 3.6*

Only allows for the download of the first 100 contacts for free. If you want more you have to pay for the app.

### 1/5 — Not practical

*2026-03-07, version 3.6*

Free version will not let me select a subset of my contacts to export; it only allows me to select the entire file, but it will only export the first 100 contacts.  It seems like a nice app, but I will not bother purchasing a commercial version if it is that poorly thought out.

### 1/5 — Stay it’s free, but it’s not

*2026-03-07*

Claim to be free but Not free

### 1/5 — Not so fast . . .

*2026-01-08, version 3.6*

Just exported data in an EXCEL format - which I was not able to open.  Trying again with a .csv format.

### 1/5 — Didn't Work!

*2025-12-29, version 3.6*

Only 100 contacts are free but I couldn't download the Excel file.  Big failed for me.
