It’s easy to use and provides a lot of basic utility Apple lacks. It’s not overly complex, it doesn’t trick you with stupid things. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Fantastische Kontakte App *2025-10-21, version 1.2.5* Die App hat komplett verändert, wie ich meine Kontakte verwalte. Sehr übersichtlich und intuitiv zu nutzen. Die Notizfunktion ist perfekt, um den Überblick zu behalten. Außerdem bekommt man vom Support schnell eine Antwort und die App wird stetig weiter entwickelt. Absolut empfehlenswert! ### 5/5 — Great idea! *2025-10-18, version 1.2.4* Great idea as an app to organize the people in your life! Also, responsive and helpful support when questions arise 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Endlich Ordnung in meinen Kontakt *2025-09-18, version 1.2.4* Ich knüpfe beruflich und privat ständig neue Kontakte und hatte immer das Problem, mir zu merken, woher ich die Person kenne oder in welchem Zusammenhang wir uns getroffen haben. Genau das löst die App super! Endlich kann ich Notizen hinzufügen und meine Kontakte so organisieren, dass ich den Überblick behalte. Wirklich genau das, was mir bisher gefehlt hat. ### 5/5 — Best contacts app *2025-09-06, version 1.2.3* Best app on the app store to manage your customers as a freelancer. Super convenient it integrates with the contacts on your iPhone without having to set up any account or sign up. ### 5/5 — Very intuitive, useful and pretty! *2025-08-28, version 1.2.3* I like it very much for both private and professional life. It makes the whole process of managing contacts much easier and gives me more out of the contacts that I have. ### 5/5 — Super hilfreich für Sales *2025-08-25, version 1.1.5* ch nutze die App täglich für meine Sales-Aktivitäten und bin absolut begeistert. Besonders hilfreich finde ich, dass ich Angebote direkt bei meinen Kontakten hinterlegen kann und gleichzeitig alle vergangenen sowie zukünftigen Termine im Blick habe. Das erleichtert mir die Koordination enorm und spart viel Zeit. Zudem kommen regelmäßig neue Features hinzu, die die Arbeit noch effizienter machen. Wirklich eine Top-App, sehr empfehlenswert! ### 5/5 — The best contact app *2025-08-03, version 1.1.4* Started using the notes and birthday features and it’s super convenient! ### 5/5 — Gute Alternative *2025-07-08, version 1.1.3* Sehr schöne App. Die Möglichkeit direkte Kontaktwege für einzelne Kontakte zu definieren hilft sehr ### 5/5 — Sehr praktisch! *2025-07-05, version 1.1.3* Ich bin absolut begeistert von dieser App! Sie ist super intuitiv zu bedienen und bietet eine übersichtliche Oberfläche, die das Speichern und Verwalten meiner Kontakte zum Kinderspiel macht. Besonders gefällt mir die automatische Synchronisation mit meinem Telefonbuch und die praktischen Funktionen wie das Gruppieren von Kontakten und das schnelle Suchen. Die App ist zuverlässig, schnell und hat mein Kontaktmanagement deutlich vereinfacht. Klare Empfehlung für alle, die eine effiziente und benutzerfreundliche Kontakte-App suchen! ### 5/5 — Bereicherung für den Alltag *2025-07-03, version 1.1.2* Ich kann die Kontakte App absolut empfehlen! Sie ist sehr übersichtlich gestaltet und ich habe schnellen Zugriff auf die wichtigen Infos und Notizen zu Freunden und Bekannten ### 5/5 — 5 Sterne *2025-06-28, version 1.1.2* Richtig cool zu verwenden, super intuitiv und praktisch! ### 5/5 — Klare Empfehlung :) *2025-06-28, version 1.1.2* Super intuitive Kontakte-App, die durch einfache Bedienung, klares Design und praktische Funktionen sofort überzeugt! ### 5/5 — Best Option Out There *2025-06-27, version 1.1.2* I love tracking my contacts and there are no better options out there. This is a lot better also than the more expensive options. Also great customer support as they add requested features quickly. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless app from bad dev. Terrible 👎🏻 *2026-01-23, version 1.3.6* 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. ### 1/5 — Mit vielen Kontakten schwierig *2025-12-28, version 1.3.4* Habe über 10.000 Kontakte. Dafür ungeeignet. Die Kontakte werden nicht verarbeitet. ### 1/5 — Useless app from bad dev *2025-12-17* The developer appears to give little attention to user feedback and reported issues.

Eigentlich eine tolle App, aber Abos schließe ich grundsätzlich nicht ab, egal, was da geboten wird. Laufende Kosten, gut und schön, aber wer bitte braucht denn z.B. eine KI, ausgerechnet in einer App mit den ganzen privaten Kontakten!? Da bekomme ich erst recht Bauchschmerzen … ### 5/5 — Beste Kontake-App *2026-05-15, version 1.4.0* 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… ### 5/5 — Bestes persönliches CRM *2026-03-08, version 1.4.0* Ich nutze die App beruflich für meine Kunden und verwalte darüber alle meine Beziehungen. Beste App dafür im App Store. ### 5/5 — Simple and exactly what I needed *2026-01-22, version 1.3.6* 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. ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2026-01-20, version 1.3.6* I really like this app and use it as a replacement for my Apple contacts app. A few things that really make it useful for me: 1. The ability to sort contacts by creation date 2. Adding your notes about people (the CRM aspect) so you remember details about them or how you met them 3. Easy birthday reminders/tracker by calendar dates 4. Linking events with people (not just birthdays) 5. Can customize people to show nicknames instead of first names or whatever your preference is on where the nickname should be shown Recently went to a subscription but is still affordable. ### 5/5 — Great Business Card Scanner *2026-01-18, version 1.3.6* Lots of goodies in the app, one of the best business card scanners I’ve used ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Didn’t know I needed this, now I can’t go back *2026-01-05* Starrise makes managing contacts feel… normal and thoughtful? I love being able to add notes, remember how I know someone, and keep little details (like “she has a dog…) without it feeling like work. It’s basically what the iPhone Contacts app should be. The design is clean, easy to use, and not overwhelming at all. I especially like that it helps me stay intentional about people without turning it into a weird corporate CRM situation. It’s simple, useful, and actually makes my life easier. Highly recommend if you like staying organized but still want things to feel human. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words! ### 5/5 — Beste Kontakte App *2025-12-29, version 1.3.4* Ich hatte schon oft die Situation: Man tauscht kurz Nummern aus und ein paar Minuten später hat man den Namen schon wieder vergessen. Dann scrollt man verzweifelt durch alle Kontakte, um die richtige Person zu finden. Genau das löst die App. Man kann seine Kontakte einfach nach „zuletzt erstellt“ sortieren und findet so den Kontakt sofort. Genial! ### 5/5 — Sehr schöne App *2025-12-21, version 1.3.3* Die App ist sehr funktional und vom Design her klar und übersichtlich strukturiert. Sie hat alle Optionen, welche man für eine ordentliche Kontaktverwaltung benötigt. Der Service ist ebenfalls top. Innerhalb kürzester Zeit wird geantwortet und auf Änderungs-oder Ergänzungswünsche eingegangen. Insgesamt also klasse App! ### 5/5 — Richtig gut! *2025-12-20, version 1.3.3* Ich mag die vielen Funktionen und automatischen Erinnerungen an die Geburtstage. Die Karte ist außerdem praktisch. ### 5/5 — Best contacts app *2025-12-07, version 1.3.2* Amazing! I’ve been trying so many contacts apps on the App Store but they all fell short of functionality or design compared to this one. Have been using the new features like reminders generated from the notes or the business card scanning and absolutely love it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
