Asks a little too much to set up
Sorry for the lackluster review. App is very fussy and deeply wants me to sync my current phone contacts, which I don't want to do. My idea is that I'd like an app separate from my personal phone contacts, so that I can keep all my business contacts' information completely separate for reference, no fluff from my personal. ie.) What I want is a digital rolodex of cards for only my business contacts and their information, what company they're for or what project they're working on, with tags and notes...
But since I don't want to sync my contacts, the app does not want me to move forward at all. Now... I don't know if this is an error on the app's part, or a deliberate part of the functionality, so I don't want to rate too harshly in case the problem actually lies with me, and what I'm looking for vs the intent of the app I'm trying to download.
But, unfortunately, this makes the app completely unusable in my case.
It looks very nice though, the UI (from what little I can see) is sleek and friendly and the language in the tutorials is clear and professional. There's plenty to appreciate in these regards.

Response from developer
Thank you for your review. Skrol does not synchronize or store contacts. It reads them directly from Apple Contacts, the same way Apple’s own apps do. This approach prioritizes safety, security, and full compatibility with other contact-based apps. If you want to keep personal and business contacts separate, there are two options: 1. Use groups. Create Personal and Business groups and assign contacts in bulk from Skrol’s List view, without opening contacts one by one. 2. Use separate accounts. Create an additional Apple or Gmail account and move business contacts there. You can view accounts separately or combined, all within the same app.
Skrol is amazing!
Ability to group contacts into different categories is extremely useful! Skrol is very intuitive. I highly recommend it!
