### 4/5 — Never lose touch!

*2022-03-24, version 2022.5*

I’m loving this app. I no longer have to keep track of when I last spoke to friends and family members! This is the best PRM app (personal relationship manager) out there.

### 5/5 — Good app but way too pricey

*2022-01-14*

The app functions well and looks pretty good (some of the UI could be more polished IMO but it’s a matter of preference), I enjoy using it to keep track of my relationships.

My main complaint with it is the price. Being a developer I know how hard and time consuming it is to develop and maintain app. The price is definitely worth the developer effort. But as a consumer, the app does not offer enough value to justify my dollars. I understand this app is basically the only one in its category, but from a functionality point of view it’s a fancy reminder app. 

For these reasons I would not buy this app, as a consumer the app does not offer enough value to justify the price, even its a fair price for the development effort.

I’m still giving it 5 stars because it’s clear the developer put lots of love and effort into it and the app itself is great. 

For more constructive criticism, I think the UI for  relationship health could use some work. I’m not sure a color gauge is the most effective way of communicating it. Additionally, I think the communication history could be displayed in a more information rich view (rather than a calendar). I would also love to see a holistic view on my relationships: have I been falling behind… and so on. I think more could be do with the data.

### 5/5 — Good potential

*2022-01-01, version 2021.9*

I’ve long wanted an app that does this and have tried many that failed for me. This is the first I’ve actually subscribed to, hoping the developer will get enough income to keep working on it. 

Wish list:
- Would love it it could automatically update “last contact” date by checking my message and call history. iOS probably prevents this for privacy reasons, but if there were a way to do it (without sending my data off device) that’d be awesome. Without that, I have to manually go into the app each time I interact with someone which is not realistic, especially as I track more relationships.
- Would love an updated UI. The current one is okay, but doesn’t feel as polished as other apps like Things, Apple apps, etc.

All in all, though, this is the best relationship tracking app I’ve found so far.

### 3/5 — Great app but needs further work.

*2021-04-18, version 2021.4*

I like the app and believe it is capable of bringing tremendous value to those who want to manage relationships in a systematic way. 

It does require some work though when it comes to functionality. Several suggestions which stand out right away:

1) Ability to work with relationships in bulk (removing, regrouping, setting reminders, etc.). Some basic features such as “select all” are missing. 

2) Ability to rename preset group names (family, friend, etc.)

3) Ability to add more groups

4) Ability to add “tags” to contacts

5) Search function by key word within the app

6) Ability to add locations for contacts and display them on a map (i.e. showing nearby contacts, etc.)

7) Further debugging needed: 

- icon badges don’t always display correctly

- long press shortcut to record interaction sends the user to notes first, which it should not (there’s a separate shortcut already made for it)

Overall, good work by the developer. Please add functionality.

### 5/5 — Great idea, executed well

*2021-03-04, version 2021.3*

Title says it all, try it

### 5/5 — Great relationship building

*2021-02-19*

This is a great solution to stay on top of keeping your relationships strong with contacts. This app gets totally right what so many others get wrong. Contacts remain stored and maintained in your regular phone contacts spot - and the app allows you to add interaction notes and reminders to these contacts (accessed through app) - rather than trying to sync your contacts to some new proprietary service. With other apps I’ve had countless sync fails and data lost. It’s easy to use and customise the reminder frequency, birthdays are available and contact notes are easy to add. I like the notion of a relationship “health” meter for contacts. Honestly, I’m finding it hard to find the right words to say how happy I am with this. The dev clearly understands this problem space and has built something genuinely helpful. I hope the roadmap ahead stays true to the core function it serves now and doesn’t get lost in trying to be a full featured personal crm where every other app seems to lose their way or make things harder than they need to be. Congrats on awesome app.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2021-01-30, version 2021.3*

Whether you’re too busy to mentally keep track of interactions with family members and friends or getting older and more forgetful (like me), this app makes staying in touch easy and gives you peace of mind in knowing you’re not neglecting important relationships. Definitely worth purchasing!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-01-16, version 2021.3*

Most useful app of mine, especially this year! Price is definitely worth the lifetime unlock!

### 5/5 — Nice App!

*2021-01-14, version 2021.3*

It has everything you need to keep track of important relationships and is easy to understand and use.

### 5/5 — Helps me maintain Relationships

*2021-01-09, version 2021.2*

As an introvert, I’m not always the best at staying in contact with those that mean a lot to me. I’m happy to go through life only bumping into people at work, church, or other social activities. With the recent pandemic though, I’m not doing these things and noticed I’ve been losing touch with people I care about. This app gives me the prompts and the reminder that I have people who love me and I should check in with and keep contact going!

Thanks for helping me not let my social connections die!

### 3/5 — Pricing seems off

*2020-12-29, version 2020.7*

I love the idea of the app. And Its alright but the pricing seems a bit much. I’d love it if the year was $15 and the lifetime subscription was $30. Which even that is a bit high for the purpose of this app and if it even requires a subscription but I understand that developers need income as well.  But at the moment I can’t justify the pricing of the tiers even though I want to try them and would be down for a one time purchase but for $70 that’s a bit much. Even $30 for this purpose I’m not sure on,  but I would be a lot more comfortable for that for what I get out of this app and the ability to support the creator

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-01-13, version 2024.6*

You can’t add relationships

### 1/5 — Lacks basic functionality and poorly optimized.

*2024-05-31, version 2024.6*

There was a paucity of apps that are able to do what Linc “allegedly” does on the App Store. However, Linc is buggy, laggy, seldom updated and is in terrible shape overall. I regret the money I spent on it.

### 1/5 — You have to pay for premium to use the app.

*2022-03-09, version 2022.4*

I wasn’t expecting all of the relationships to be behind the pay wall. :/

### 1/5 — Started using app for 30 seconds before it crashed

*2022-02-24, version 2022.2*

This app concept is needed, but the app itself is woefully broken. Will be deleting immediately.

### 1/5 — Perhaps the glitchiest app I ever had.

*2022-02-22, version 2022.2*

I was truly attracted to the app’s premise of aiding in one’s organization of social affairs, however, I was befuddled with how poorly coded the software in actuality is. I downloaded on my iPhone and iPad, and it’s performance is comparably inadequate in both. 

I genuinely hate producing negative feedbacks on anyone’s work. Therefore, whenever the issues of sudden crashes and unfriendly interface are resolved, I will edit my review.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2022-01-09, version 2021.9*

I was texting out the trial n liked it so far but it keeps crashing and freezing now.
I might just delete the whole app now

### 2/5 — Meh

*2022-07-20, version 2022.5*

Would have been a great app if ya didnt have to pay to have more than one contact i mean if i had to pay a one of payment for the app that would  be cool but yearly ? Nah aint worth it

### 2/5 — App crashes on relationship screen

*2022-02-23, version 2022.2*

I like the idea of this app but it every time I try to add a relationship it crashes/quotes suddenly.

### 2/5 — Performance

*2020-10-14, version 2020.5*

Good app but performance in iOS 14 is lacking. App constantly freezes

### 3/5 — Problems with connecting FB messenger

*2021-11-04, version 2021.5*

I love the app so far for helping track relationship upkeep, however the linking for FB messenger doesn’t seem to be working and updating the contacts. You have to enter the messenger username for each friend which can be a pain to find easily. A couple times after entering the username, through both the app and through direct contact editing, the “messenger username” field reverts to “iMessage.” On another note, the app doesn’t seem to be pulling birthdays from contact info and stays on the date you added the contact. If these issues addressed, the app would be 5 stars for me.

### 5/5 — Helps me remember!

*2026-07-15, version 2026.1*

I tend to forget details about friends, and this really helps. I can keep track of birthdays, when we met, anniversaries, what they like for gifts, and so on. Very helpful resource!

### 5/5 — Everything I wish iMessages Did

*2026-03-24, version 2026.1*

Since I have the need to keep in touch with several large groups of people, I like that I can organize contacts into groups. It also helps me know who in those groups needs to be reached out to.

### 5/5 — Near immediate response

*2025-12-28, version 2025.5*

Sam replied within minutes to resolve an issue. Thanks

### 5/5 — Please never stop supporting this amazing app!

*2025-10-05, version 2025.2*

I'm not sure if ever written an app review in the 15 years since I started using an iPhone. This is one of the greatest most life changing apps you will ever find. The developer is a genius and I thank him greatly

### 5/5 — Keeping in touch is so much easier

*2025-09-08, version 2025.2*

I have tried planners, spreadsheets, notecards trying to keep track of my relationships … I get so busy with life and the people I care the most about I often forget to reach out to. This is such a versatile, easy and helpful tool to keep my friendships healthy and active. Thank you so so so much!

### 5/5 — Restoring Our Social Sanity, One Relationship at a Time

*2024-03-23, version 2024.5*

In a world of 15-second curated and scrollable dopamine hits, LINC is your habit-forming digital partner, helping you build and maintain lasting relationships.

SOCIAL SECRETARY / FRIEND CRM / PEOPLE-BASED LIFE BLOG / ARCHIVIST.
Busy lives, distractions, bad habits, so much competing for attention that we can easily forget the people who matter most, or those who can easily fall off our radar. LINC brings you back by helping you reach out to folks you haven’t seen or heard from or read about in a while.

INTEGRATED WITH IPHONE/IPAD/VISION PRO
Smartly connected to your iPhone/iPad (or if you’re one of the VisionPro folks!) and its Contacts and Reminders, LINC reminds you about reaching out to those folks in your network, whether Best Friend, Acquaintance, Family, or Colleague. You set up the system according to your style.

HELP YOUR FORGETFULNESS.
After each interaction, take a moment to jot down what happened so you can remember better next time around, or add an important detail to their top note and see it on their summary card. Easily review your last interactions and remember where you left off.

START SIMPLE. AND FORM A GOOD HABIT.
Start with someone you texted with or saw today. Pull their info into LINC and decide how often you’d like to refresh with them. Jot a few notes about what happened, and then move on to your next human! Before long, a question forms each day: “Who am I going to connect with today?!”

Thanks to Sam for a brilliant app!
Restoring our social sanity, one relationship at a time.

### 5/5 — Quality App

*2023-01-19, version 2022.5*

I always wanted to play Persona 4 in real life.

### 5/5 — Helps me get L41D

*2022-02-18, version 2021.9*

Chicks actually think I care about them but it’s really just the app reminding me to send a text.
