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 🙃 ### 4/5 — Great to use *2024-12-01, version 29.0* Love this ### 4/5 — Love this. *2024-09-11, version 29.0* Wish it had more updates but it’s great. ### 5/5 — Does Exactly What You Need *2024-04-13, version 29.0* I can’t begin tell you how many new people in my life would’ve probably never heard from me again if I didn’t have this app. When I’m out and about I meet a lot of people. It’s impossible to remember someone based on their name (let alone their number) so this app does a great job of helping me track all the new contacts I’ve made. ### 5/5 — Life Saver *2024-02-15, version 29.0* Thank goodness for this app. Apple still refuses to allow a simple ‘sort by date added / modified’ in contacts, even tho the metadata is there, and every other program and the finder has that functionality. I have over 4000 contacts and being able to sort them by date is crucial. Many thanks for this incredibly useful app!! Works flawlessly and I’m very grateful for it. ### 5/5 — Great app and super worth it *2024-01-28, version 29.0* Simple and has everything to make sure you keep your connections and know when you met them. ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2024-01-16, version 29.0* Love this app. And the founder is amazing at taking feedback. ### 5/5 — Simple elegance. *2024-01-01, version 28* This app has done wonders for keeping track of when I’ve added clients, friends, and other contacts to my phone. I can easily navigate back through months or years and find dates easily. Works great for work life ### 5/5 — Incredible App *2023-11-23, version 28* Am real my fascinated with how long recent holds record of when I add a contact it’s always my go to app to remember names of people I saved because it always have the date they were added. ### 5/5 — Good Work *2023-06-25* Good Work ### 5/5 — Really useful *2023-06-02, version 28* This is a very useful app. I like to keep a manual backup of my contacts and this enables me to see when people’s numbers or other details are updated in my contact list. ### 4/5 — Just what I needed *2023-03-20, version 28* There have been numerous times I would have found this app, which I just discovered very recently, extremely helpful. There have been times I wanted to contact someone but couldn't recall their name and hadn't made any identifying notes that I could search for. But seeing when I added them to my address book would have done the trick. ### 5/5 — Finding past prospects *2023-03-09, version 28* Excellent app, I’m finding all my past calls ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Dark mode, pls? *2025-05-19, version 32* Dark mode icon, please ### 1/5 — Now Junked up with Ads - on Paid App *2023-06-05, version 28* Traitor App - paid money for ad-free and now ads added after purchase. Just say no until they honor their work. Removed and purchased Recent #s for better experience. This company waited for hundreds of positive reviews before giving us the shaft. ### 1/5 — 全く使い物になりません。 *2023-03-26* 1000件以上の顧客がありますが、表示されている日時は3つの日時だけです。 10年以上前の顧客もあり、との３つの日時に収められています。 お金返して下さい。 ### 1/5 — App completely messing up *2022-05-18, version 28* App did amazing first time I opened it. Now it shows calls that I never made. Absolutely ridiculous. Worthless app ### 1/5 — All have same dates and they are not accurate *2020-09-12, version 22* I would really like a refund this is nowhere near accurate ### 1/5 — Once again, doesn’t save edit anymore *2019-02-26* Editing contacts used to work. Then it stopped. Then it worked and now it’s broken again. Please fix it, it’s literally the most useful feature of the app. **Developer response:** I believe this is fixed now with version 16. Let me know if there are any more issues (kyle@kylegorlick.com) and please consider updating your review. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Horrendous *2014-09-19, version 1.1* Better off ending your life with a hammer than downloading this ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 5/5 — Excellent! 5 Stars for sure. *2025-03-26, version 32* Excellent app. Great Privacy Policy too. 5 Big Stars! Thanks Dev. ### 5/5 — Super useful for conferences *2025-01-14, version 29.0* This is my go too after a weeklong conference, it’s great when you’ve maybe forgotten someone’s name or company etc, you can back track check check all the days you added new contact and bingo! I love it and have shared with others like me who can be quite forgetful after a wine over lunch 😂 ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-11-16, version 29.0* This is one great program Saved me many times from forgetting somebody I Recently Added ### 5/5 — Just what I needed. Nothing extra. Perfect. *2024-11-15, version 29.0* Perfect app to make it simple. ### 5/5 — Hello *2024-10-04, version 29.0* Thank ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2024-06-05, version 29.0* My other brain ;) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
