### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2026-05-27, version 35*

Shows false dates when contacts were added.

### 1/5 — Scam, doesn’t work

*2026-05-24, version 35*

This app is a waste of time and money. Spent the four dollars to defuse a situation with my girl. Only to find out anything past the last three weeks give some random date. Literally all your contacts past two weeks will say the same random date, Even the ones you’ve had for years in your phone. Thanks for wasting my money and getting me in a deeper problem than I was already in thanks to your jenky tech.

### 1/5 — Got a new phone recently, all contact dates are that date

*2026-05-23, version 35*

Unhelpful.

### 5/5 — Convenience

*2026-04-04, version 34*

I really like this app. It’s really easy to keep up with contacts etc.

### 5/5 — Excellent Utility App

*2026-03-20, version 32*

Loving this app as a easy tool to remember who I’ve met lately. Great for professionals!

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2026-01-30, version 32*

Great app! Thanks for making this.

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2025-11-29, version 32*

I can’t imagine anyone not using this app, or why Apple or Google haven’t added sorting by date, added to their Contacts apps. Thank you, Kyle!

### 4/5 — Как отключить подписку???

*2025-09-24*

Напишите пожалуйста как отключить подписку

### 3/5 — I like the app. Glad it’s not a subscription.

*2025-09-12*

The developer should remove “new love interest” from the screenshot of the app. I just shared this app to someone I just met, after showing them the app on my phone, and it makes it seem like “new love interest” is something I wrote about them, which is kind of awkward, especially because they were cute, but I don’t want them to think I put “new love interest” about them in my phone. 

Also “quick and useful,” while true, isn’t a very specific description of the app. Make it “useful for quickly finding contacts that you just added”

**Developer response:** Appreciate the feedback, I will consider making adjustments! And sorry about the awkwardness 🙃

### 1/5 — Dark mode, pls?

*2025-05-19, version 32*

Dark mode icon, please
