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

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.

It's useful for syncing across new devices effortlessly while keeping your contacts without having to reenter everything. However, its search function stops working randomly and will not find many entries. It's an old bug which persists since before 2019, so it loses 3 points for this. Search us essential with a large set of contacts.
