Ratings and reviews

I think the "Contacts" app is awesome as I have been using it for years without a scintilla of a problem. The only thing I'm not clear on is the "chat" button & I think it is a tool to get you to your contacts. I don't use the CHAT option myself. Just the messaging. I think they are both one in the same unless you're texting with multiple people . But, anyway I think highly of the contact app and wouldn't be without it! John Anderson

I have many contacts, and use the star (favorite) to mark ones that are currently needed. I use the widget to display up to 7 favorites, and that *used* to work great, but now the widget doesn't update when I add or remove favorite stars. Clearing the cache, rebooting the phone, nothing works other than removing the widget and re-creating it.

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.
