Ratings and reviews

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.

The app helps organize contacts, however, some of the recent updates are just not desirable. Specifically, photos are automatically placed even though I had a self-selected photo. The "more fields" layout is not clean and easy as it was previously. Lastly, the app automatically merges contacts even though they are different people. For instance, if I have someone named Bob and add another Bob, the app merges the two. Good luck unmerging them! Lots of annoying inconveniences.

the app needs ability to link contacts (like Samsung does) so if you're editing a contact and adding a "related person", if the name you're typing is another contact on your phone, it lets you select/associate the two contacts via link. there are a dozen use-cases for this feature and I'm shocked it's still not available on pixels when Samsung has been doing it for over a decade. also the ability to change the display order of things like addresses or important dates, or related persons.
