REVIEWS FROM USERS "Very easy to use! This is the first app I've ever paid money for - so worth it! I exported to CSV format, emailed the file to myself, and checked - all the info came over." -- Jean06066 "Saved my contacts. To make a long story short I spent two days trying to untangle a horrible outlook contact snafu on my iPhone that iCloud could not save me from. I discovered this app and it saved them all. Worth the small price." -- seattlejr "Did exactly what I needed. I can’t believe Apple makes it so hard to bulk export contacts from one iPhone to another.
