### 1/5 — Crashes on my iPad mini...  minus 1 star if possible

*2024-05-15, version 11.4*

On my iPad mine this app is crashing all the time... so I will uninstall it now.  To backup or use the number of records is so low, that it is unusable to use... sorry, but for me a waste of time...

### 1/5 — Don’t use this app

*2023-01-03, version 11.1*

This app is a fake. To use it you will need to pay

Hi there, 
Please update this app. It doesn’t even load my contacts when I tap on “Backup Contacts.” 
Thank you very much.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-05-29, version 8.5*

What I thought could help sort my contacts became an issue as suddenly it was not licensed and the app does not do what is demonstrates.

Would not load this app again, at the purchase price definitely did not get my worth from it.

### 1/5 — MONEY GRAB

*2020-06-27, version 8.5*

This app is a money grab scam. Just add your google account to your device under settings and save yourself money and trouble.

### 1/5 — Ok boomer for this gen Xer?

*2020-05-21*

I am not an idiot. I am pretty tech savvy. I was using personal computers before most people as a child in the mid 80s. 

But with this app, I basically lost my entire contact list across my ipad and somehow, my phone. Not intuitive, and apparently high risk of doing something stupid and irreversible.

### 5/5 — I like.

*2020-03-30*

My contacts were very messy. This app helped me clean up with the “merge” function. Very happy with this app.
