Outstanding app
I’ve been looking for a tool like this one for a long time. It works extremely well, and it has everything in one place that I previously had to manage across multiple apps. Saves me a lot of time.
Beste Kontake-App
Ich liebe diese App, viel besser als die Standard-Kontakte App. Besonders gefallen mir die Aktionsbuttons. Die Optik ist top. Besonders am iPad super! Fehlt nur noch die Mac App…
Bestes persönliches CRM
Ich nutze die App beruflich für meine Kunden und verwalte darüber alle meine Beziehungen. Beste App dafür im App Store.
Useless app from bad dev. Terrible 👎🏻
The developer appears to give little attention to user feedback and reported issues. Many long-standing problems remain unresolved, while the app itself does not offer meaningful advantages over Apple’s built-in Contacts app.
Features advertised as additional or enhanced either do not work properly or are implemented in a way that makes them impractical. A good example is the “quick call” functionality. When attempting to add or use a call via a messenger such as Telegram, the process becomes unnecessarily complicated. Telegram allows calling users via username without a phone number, but this app does not support that workflow. If a Telegram contact does not have a phone number, calling them through this app is not possible.
Even when a phone number is added, the so-called “quick” call button requires multiple extra steps through various menus. This defeats the purpose of a quick action. In practice, it is faster and simpler to use Apple’s default Contacts app to make a call.
Overall usability is poor, and the interface feels inconvenient and inefficient. Instead of focusing on fixing core functionality and long-reported issues, the developer seems to prioritize adding paid features that provide little value.
Additionally, push notifications sent by the app often lead nowhere when tapped, leaving it unclear what the notification was about in the first place.
Because of these issues, the app is difficult to recommend and does not justify replacing the standard Contacts app.

Your app is extremely buggy and feels unfinished. Users seem to be treated as unpaid beta testers while you collect feedback and then monetize questionable “premium” features, despite previously selling lifetime purchases with promises of future updates.
Worse, the app cannot be trusted with contacts. In Apple’s native Contacts app, it is possible to set a birthday without a year. Your app silently assigns incorrect values while keeping the day and month, so people suddenly appear as celebrating their 2025th birthday or as having their first birthday incorrectly. This kind of silent data corruption is unacceptable and makes the app unreliable for any serious use.
The overall experience feels careless and poorly engineered. Using this app is frustrating, and I strongly advise against trusting it with personal data.

Simple and exactly what I needed
I’ve been looking for a CRM for just friends and family (and the occasional acquaintance), and Starrise has been great so far. It’s lightweight, easy to use, perfect for quick jot-downs and birthday reminders, and feels like a natural extension of my contacts without the sales-style clutter.
