## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 2/5 — Good fundamentals, bad maintenance

*2026-06-18, version 2.0.2*

App has a habit of crashing, you can’t re-order reminders after you write them, everything besides birthday is up to you to write in notes

### 2/5 — Forced to pay monthly.

*2020-12-25, version 1.4.0*

From what I’ve seen there are 2 sustainable options when it’s about payment which satisfied customer and developer.   
    
First being, free with premium features. For example you have 5 friends for free on the app, if you want more you have to pay x money a year or as a lifetime thing.    
    
Second being one time purchase.    
    
I‘d gladly support it with a 1 time paYmeant if I like it but not on a monthly basis.    
    
Why are the contacts not in different colours and all blue?

### 3/5 — Any future support

*2023-04-01*

Worried about future support (APRIL 2023) . 

Is this still under development? Last updated in January 2021, and newsletter is on GetRevue which was killed January ‘23

**Developer response:** Yes, Hippo is still under development! I’m working on a Mac version.

### 4/5 — What I have been looking for!

*2020-10-11, version 1.4.0*

Simple, great interface and cheap!  Does the job better than many high priced CRMs.  Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Photos sideways

*2026-08-04, version 2.0.4*

A great idea and easy to use app. Just downloaded and will use. However the photo’s for each individual are displayed sideways. Can this please be fixed

*Amended  -  Great developer response both here and via the Hippo contact link. Thanks for the developer support.

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2021-05-01, version 1.5.0*

Your article of NSPersistentContainer is very helpful.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-04-01, version 1.5.0*

By comparison with other personal CRM Apps here in the App Store, it has the best price for the many features. I like everything about this app except the app icon.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2020-02-04*

Super useful tool and easy to learn compared to others. Pricing is more than fair also. Thanks so much for creating this app :)
