Syncing is not stable

Crash on sync is 50-50

Don’t bother trying to sort tasks or anything by meeting only hehehe.

Monopoly makes them lazy

Don't waste your time

This gets one star only because there is no option for a 0. Support will not respond to service ticket, email, or phone call.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

don’t sync well

got this for when traveling using ACT as our main CRM. this software does not perform well. the sync is highly sporadic and generally unreliable. older version worked very well but not any more

THE BEST APP

Update recently you got it right. Easy and informative.

Hand Held Contact

Very good app! Good support.

This feature/app is tremendous!

I love having this in my phone! In a matter of a few clicks I can see what I’m doing and when from anywhere - extremely convenient and useful - I highly recommend it!

Won’t work with iPhone

After more than 4 months after an iPhone update HHC still doesn’t sync properly. Some say it works. On my phone it doesn’t and that’s even after weeks of troubleshooting by HHC who says it’s working on a fix for iPhone users. But I’ve not gotten a fix yet. I’ve spent hours on sending logs, downloading suggested updates, and other trouble shooting. It’s maddening that HHC hasn’t released a fix for iPhone owners like me.

BEST Act! AddOn EVER!

HHC has been and continues to be the best Act! AddOn as it provides seamless interaction with Act! On the go with a handheld device!

Wonderful app

Now I have everything with me on my phone. Thanks Craig!

Great idea! Wonky Tech

ACT! Is the best enterprise contact manager. The original version could keep easily-retrieved addresses, schedule, keep real-time notes, send faxes, emails, write letters using Word, mail-merge and sync to a handheld device. More recent versions have been riddled with glitches and unscrupulous tech support. The latest outrage is the backdoor access that allows the cloud server to access a desktop copy without a subscriber’s permission. And slows down the desktop app to render it useless. Enter at your own peril.

Best Mobile App for ACT

I have tried them all and this is the best ...period.

The Power and Productivity of ACT for the iPhone

I have been using ACT as my calendar and contact management application since the mid 1990s. Handheld Contact is an amazing app that provides all of ACT’s power and productivity for the iPhone OS and platform. Handheld Contact has virtually the same capabilities as ACT. Having Handheld Contact on my iPhone allows me the use of my favorite contact and calendar manager even at those times that I can’t have my PC or laptop with me. I do not know what I would do without Handheld Contact. It is indispensable.

Renewed after a break in service

I had this app for a few years to avoid monthly charge from Sage Act! It was OK but not great. Upon renewing last month I was very happy to see how much Handheld Contact has improved. I have no issues on usability at all. For the annual fee I don’t see how you can beat this app to connect with my database. I am sure the full subscription app from Sage is better, but this app has to be 95% of the way there and I am very pleased with how well it syncs and displays the calendar now. Thanks for putting in the effort to make the app work much better than two years ago.

Must Have App for Act! Users

If you need to access your Act! data from anywhere but your desk, this is the app to have for your phone or tablet. Faster than the desktop version of Act!, and the ability to use it when not connected to the internet (while flying for example) is a huge feature for the traveling business person.

Handheld Contact

Love it-great tool that I use every hour of the workday to effectively manage my accounts on the road!!

Keeps me up to date

Handheld contact keeps me up to date with my calendar and all of my contacts. I love it. Would not be without it.

Built a business around it

Great product. We have used ACT for decades and this just allows us to carry our business around in our phones.

My only option, so I use it

Steve Jobs is dead, but his arrogance lives on: Apple is too demanding for HHC to qualify for acceptance on the platform.

After 25 years of use of ACT!, I cannot find an alternative CRM. Unfortunately, the only way I can try to sync my PC with my iDevices is via HHC.

I say, “Try,” because the interface is clunky and unreliable. In three or four years of use, I have never had confidence that my Calendars were well-coordinated. As someone who travels on business 200 days a year, the situation is intolerable.

Not that I can find a choice.

New Interface

I like the new interface but it doesn’t allow me to call or text Alternate Numbers. I liked the old interface because you could call or text any number that you had listed.

I use this daily

The new update is long overdue and a big help.

I do like HHC and use it daily.
I am a heavy traveler and this works for me.
