5/5Don't forget her name ever again!
WOW! I've never needed something more in my life than this beautifully built and simple to use application. Imagine your four white claws in at the bar, feeling confident and you lock eyes with the lady in a sundress standing with her friends. You finish your 5th claw and approach confidently, introduce yourself, she doesn't seem interested but you are calm cool, collected and continue talking. You immediately forget her name but there's nothing to worry about because she put in her number in your phone. This app has saved me so many times!

5/5Gotta say Im impressed
This is one of the better Contacts app. It is very helpful in my job hunting - a must-have when doing the weekly unemployment log. Suggestions: It would be very helpful if the contacts could be categorized when adding or editing, or have the ability to archive. I don't want to delete anyone, just don't want/need to view the older entries. Thank you for your time & effort in building the app and your continued support! Have a wonderful life! (or, at least, a decent day!😋

5/5Must have for ANY Social Entrepreneur
I cannot tell you how much an app like this has made my life so much better!!! It’s a great way of tracking and remember who I’ve met since I meet people so often in my line of work. It used to be super embarrassing to have just gotten a number and then forget what the name was and absolutely impossible to go through my thousands of contacts to try to figure it out. Now I never worry about that because I just go the app and it’s whatever the top name listed was. Life SAVER!!!

5/5Critical
It’s unbelievable that Apple’s contacts app does not have this functionality, but since it doesn’t, this app is indispensable. Got the number of “Cute Girl At Bar” last night but can’t remember what name you wrote? This app to the rescue. Want to sort through your hilarious memories of people you’ve met? This app to the rescue. Literally a life changer - someday Apple will add this simple functionality to Contacts and that’ll be cool, but until that day, everybody should have this app on their phone

5/5Life Saver
Thank goodness for this app. Apple still refuses to allow a simple ‘sort by date added / modified’ in contacts, even tho the metadata is there, and every other program and the finder has that functionality. I have over 4000 contacts and being able to sort them by date is crucial. Many thanks for this incredibly useful app!! Works flawlessly and I’m very grateful for it.
