Ratings and reviews

EDITED REVIEW The automatic mode works pretty well, however it limits you to only 30 profile pictures to sync for free (after that you have to pay for the "Pro" version or watch ads to earn more. But every time I have tried to watch ads it has said "there are no ads available"). The manual mode unfortunately does not work at all because there is no option to "share" a WhatsApp contact to this app like it claims (it appears that WhatsApp removed this feature in a previous update and this app has not created a work-around for the current version).

Don't like the way it retrieves the contact photos but it does work. A little on the expensive side for what it is. Would be happy to pay if it was better. A bit ugly looking and not all contact photos are being shown. Would love to see further features too this but it seems the developer isn't too active. It's been a while since last update.

Photos sync well. Takes a lot of time however as each contact is opened individually. about ~6sec per contact. You can't use your phone for that period, which is a bummer. However, this seems to a limitation with how photos can be downloaded. Its still a better alternative to 'sync.me', which only downloads contact photos to a ghost contact which is then merged. It created a host of duplicates for me. Used paid version. Approx 300 contacts.
