Ratings and reviews

You'd think it was simple, but it keeps mixing personal contacts (that I only want stored on the device) in with a shared Google account. Complete nightmare separating them out again, then they get uploaded again unintentionally. The unclear account settings options don't help. The same thing happens on an iPhone as well. If you have a Samsung, it may be best to stick to their contacts app, particularly if you want to switch between multiple accounts and device.

The app is useful and is easy to use. The only complaint that I have is that the new update made the process of editing contacts harder. Before when you need an more fields, there was a button you could click that would bring up all of the other field types at once, and if you needed an additional field for something you could press a button to add it. Now, when you need more fields, you have to select them, there is no button that opens them all at once anymore.

I don't know why, but this is the first time I've had MAJOR Issues while using this app. Apparently, "my contacts don't exist". Also, my contacts won't sync. Also, I can't change the contacts permissions, either, as no permissions are denied. It's extremely frustrating that when you get a new phone (Pixel to Pixel), your basic phone features (such as the Contacts app) DON'T Work! I can't edit my contacts at all. And, they are all messed up, too!
