Can email it to yourself to load into contacts, but the Notes field is truncated. ### 5/5 — Exzellentes, hilfreiches Tool mit Spitzen-Support *2025-08-28, version 2.3* Eigentlich eine Schande, dass Apple so etwas nicht mit Bordmitteln vorhält. Die EXPORTER-APP wurde sauber in Deutschland entwickelt und funktioniert ebenso einfach wie zuverlässig. Ich hatte ein Spezial-Problem mit einer gesonderten Exchange-Kontaktliste, hier wurde seitens des Entwicklers umgehend, ausführlich mehrfach und sehr kompetent kommuniziert - herzlichen Dank. Ausserhalb des EXPORTERS war meine Problemlage wie folgt: Ich habe die Exchange und iCloud-Kontakte schlussendlich manuell zusammengeführt und die Exchange-Liste zunächst geleert und dann deaktiviert. Hier gab es sehr viele Inkonsistenzen, so waren z.B. die Exchange-Inhalte am iPad nicht mehr synchron zum iPhone. Kontakte konnten vom Exchange nicht in die iCloud verschoben oder kopiert werden, ich musste diese zunächst als VCF exportieren, extern ablegen und dann wieder importieren. Der Apple Support war mit diesen Fragestellungen heillos überfordert. Nach gut einer überaus aktiven Stunde mit der bemühten Apple-Hotline hat man im Team ernsthaft beschlossen, ich möge doch die Exchange—Kontakte mit Stift und Papier aufnotieren und dann in die iCloud eintippen. Ich bin jedenfalls froh, mit Ihrem Exporter ein Tool zu haben, die Kontaktverwaltung etwas außerhalb des Apple-Ökosystems „beaufsichtigen“ zu können. Mir waren schon - selten aber immer mal wieder - einzelne Kontakte verlorengegangen. Ich will gar nicht ausschließen, dass ich diese versehentlich gelöscht habe, aber auch hier ist die Apple-Lösung unbefriedigend: man möge einen früheren, automatisch gespeicherten Stand der Kontakte einspielen. Damit sind neuere Veränderungen aber weg und gar nicht sicher, ob die ggf. versehentlich gelöschten Kontakte wieder da sind. Einen Vergleich des Gesamtverzeichnisses oder das Wiederherstellen einzelner Kontakte bietet Apple mit Bordwerkzeug nicht an. Sehr schade und unverständlich, eigentlich eines Premium-Produktes unwürdig ### 1/5 — Etikettenschwindel *2024-12-16, version 2.1.1* es werden drei Exportformate angeboten, CSV und Excel kosten aber leider Extragebühren 🤮 ### 5/5 — Datensparsamkeit und super Support *2024-01-28, version 2.1* Die App funktioniert, übt sich in Datensparsamkeit und der Entwickler antwortet innerhalb kurzer Zeit auf Supportanfragen. Was will man mehr - daher: Empfehlung! ### 5/5 — Die App funktioniert tatsächlich! *2023-08-16, version 2.0.4* Ich bin begeistert. Nach vielen Fehlversuchen mit anderen Apps ist es mir mit dieser gelungen, einfach und intuitiv meine iPhone Kontakte nach EXCEL zu übertragen und mir diese Datei dann z.B. per Email zuzuschicken. Besonders nutzerfreundlich finde ich die Möglichkeit, Testlisten mit bis zu 10 Adressen zu erstellen. Als sicher war, es funktioniert wie ich es wollte (und verstehe), habe ich gerne den InApp Kauf getätigt. ### 5/5 — Easy *2023-04-20* Paid 5 bucks and all my contacts instantly download to a CSV file. Save me hours of work for five bucks. ### 5/5 — Super! *2023-04-03, version 2.0.4* Genau das habe ich gesucht. Schön, dass es noch anständige Entwickler gibt, und nicht das allerletzte Info aus den Usern aussaugen wollen. 6€ sind hier gut angelegt. weiter so 👌 ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2023-02-01, version 2.0.4* Wirklich einfach die beste App zum Exportieren von Kontakten! Einfach, guter Funktionsumfang und es werden anders als bei vielen anderen Apps keine persönlichen Daten gesammelt. Wirklich großartig! Danke an den Entwickler! ### 5/5 — Quick easy cost efficient! Thank you! *2022-11-07* Thanks !! ## Frequently asked questions about Export Contacts Pro ### What does Export Contacts Pro do?

Other features, like creating custom export setups and syncing them, are available without additional cost. ### What devices and iOS versions are compatible with this app?

Limit an export to the contacts that were added or changed since you last exported that setup, so you only ever hand out what's new. Available as a separate one-time in-app purchase — switch it on beforehand to see how it would narrow your selection. • The contacts screen now shows a live count of what will actually be exported, and it is much faster on large address books. Contacts appear exactly as they are stored in each account. • Export setups can be renamed, shared and deleted straight from the list, and finished files can be previewed before you hand them on. • Plus a number of smaller fixes. Please note: export setups no longer sync via iCloud. Your existing setups are moved to this device once, automatically. ### 2.3.1 — 2025-10-29 Updated for iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 ### 2.3 — 2025-05-07 The app is now available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. ### 2.2 — 2025-03-20 Improved support for the limited access to contacts introduced with iOS 18. ### 2.1.1 — 2024-01-28 - You can now have the current date automatically appended to the file name of an export file. - Separate vCards exported to a ZIP archive should no longer have an incorrect creation and modification date after unpacking. - When deleting a previously opened export setup, the app no longer hangs. ## Apps similar to Export Contacts Pro | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Contacts Backup Pro & Restore](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/contacts-backup-pro-and-restore/id1120943403) | 4.7 (7,413) | Free | Productivity | | [Contacts Sync: Google & More](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/contacts-sync-google-and-more/id454390333) | 4.6 (14,766) | Free | Productivity | | [MCBackup: Contacts Backup](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mcbackup-contacts-backup/id1218096409) | 4.7 (2,313) | Free | Productivity | | [Contacts Sync Pro](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/contacts-sync-pro/id686378579) | 4.7 (802) | $11.99 | Productivity | | [Contacts Backup + Export](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/contacts-backup-plus-export/id1240877753) | 4.4 (182) | Free | Productivity | | [My Contacts Backup](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/my-contacts-backup/id446784593) | 4.5 (10,058) | Free | Productivity | ## Related topics [export contacts pro](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/export-contacts-pro) · [export contacts to csv excel](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/export-contacts-to-csv-excel) · [vcard export](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/vcard-export) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
