### 3/5 — Alphabet

*2023-11-14*

I would give a better review if I could alphabetize my contacts.

### 2/5 — Almost

*2022-05-09, version 1.3.11*

Ice app but will NOT let you edit your contacts. When you click on the edit button it crashes. Used with Apple iPad etc.  Not worth the money.

### 1/5 — Not working!

*2022-01-18*

I paid for full version and not allowing me to add contacts into groups. The how To use tab will not open. No customer service

### 5/5 — Very Pleased

*2020-12-16*

After much brief seeking I decided to buy and try this app for contact management, etc. & feel there is no other alternative I am aware of that is any better and believe it is very well organized and easy to use and well worth the small price I paid. Highly recommended.

### 4/5 — Good but outdated

*2019-06-15*

The app is very useful and quite functional even in iOS 12 but its outdated and should be optimized.

### 1/5 — S-L-O-W

*2018-09-24*

Too slow to use.

### 1/5 — What crap

*2017-07-22*

How the heck do you do a group? You turn them on in settings they disappear in the group tab

### 5/5 — Finally I can give this 5 stars

*2017-03-18*

About a year ago I bought the iGroups Contacts app and immediately loved it.  But unfortunately the app was also full of bugs so I reluctantly switched to a different contacts app that I didn't like as much.  Then a couple weeks ago I checked again and was pleased to see the iGroups Contacts app was recently updated with many bug fixes so I tried it again.

And this time it seems to work as it should (no bugs) so I can give it the 5 star rating I wanted to give it last time.

### 5/5 — A+

*2016-10-16, version 1.2.9*

Great up for been able to select multiple contacts at once and send a group message without everyone getting the replies!

### 5/5 — Best Looking but BUGGY

*2016-03-16, version 1.2.9*

This is, by far, the nicest looking Group Contacts Management app out there!
Too bad it does not work reliably! And it hasn't been updated in a year.
