### 1/5 — основная функция не работает

*2026-08-02*

при экспорте контактов нужно посмотреть рекламное видео. Это видео не грузится не напрямую, не через европейский ВПН.

### 1/5 — Не устанавливайте.

*2026-07-01*

Для экспорта нужно посмотреть видео, видео не грузится. Мусорное приложение.

### 5/5 — Can get all data fields

*2026-06-20*

I was struggling to get all the day fields of my contacts exported with other apps. SA contacts lite did a wonderful job. I didn’t lose any data fields while exporting. The relief. 
Thank you!

### 1/5 — Não funciona

*2026-03-06*

Nada, não consegui fazer nada além de propagandas para testar

### 1/5 — Unable to export

*2026-02-09*

I followed all the steps, but it keeps making me watch videos and the saying something is invalid when I try to export into an excel sheet in a folder it asked me to create for goigle drive.

### 5/5 — Contatos

*2025-07-31*

Ótimo

### 1/5 — App is ruined

*2025-07-16*

What happened to this app?  I was using it for years to manage groups.  Now all my contacts are missing from the app and it’s playing full screen video ads!

Deleted!

This developer knows where he can go.

I hate it when people cripple apps out of greed.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2025-04-14*

При попытке сделать экспорт предлагает посмотреть рекламное видео (отказаться нельзя), но видео не загружается, в том числе через впн. Шлак.

### 1/5 — Раньше работало

*2025-02-28*

А теперь пытается открыть рекламу, у него не получается (с отключённым блокировщиком рекламы) и в итоге ничего не даёт сделать. У автора приложения явно проблемы с головой. Причём реклама не хочет открываться вообще никак, даже с ВПН.

### 1/5 — Quero meu extorno

*2024-10-09*

Abaixei o aplicativo e já descontou do meu cartão sem minha autorização , não coloquei dados bancário e nada
