I had been looking for an app for some time to manage my contacts in categories or groups, like Im used to in Outlook. After going through a bunch of them, this one was the most reliable by far. It was easy to setup my categories or groups and add the contacts into their respective groups. But thats where the issues begin: first off, because of the constraints Apple has on grouping contacts to start with, this app (through no fault of its own, really) creates a duplicate set of every contact you place in a group. To their credit, they take great pains to explain this right from the start with a large disclaimer after the contacts are grouped. I was fine with this initially, as they also explain how to unify contacts so that duplicates dont show up, and it did work, for a while, at least. For some reason, this app doesnt play well with the contacts app on my iPad 2 or iPad 3, so it refuses to show groups at all, even though my iPhone 4S is grouped properly.
For power users, these issues, while confounding, arent necessarily hard to navigate through with the proper amount of patience. For the less than tech-savvy users (the majority of users), this can be downright confusing.
Also, I would like to see this as a universal app, as the resolution on my iPad(s), while serviceable, is terrible!
If they can get their minor issues with this app ironed out, theyve got a winner on their hands. Ill continue to use it, because I still think its much better than the other apps that claim to do the same thing, but I cant give it more than three stars at this point, though, as Ive said, its an app thats worth sticking with, provided youre savvy and patient.
In the end, I would have to lay the blame for this at Apples feet for not making a contacts app that allowed for categories or groups, considering just how many professionals who use Exchange use the iPad/iPhone.
Long story short, I would still recommend it.
