Ratings and reviews

The new, streamlined Contacts app is excellent. I value its feature for providing contact-based reminders (birthdays, anniversaries). However, this data is duplicated in Calendar; notifications should originate from the Calendar, using Contacts as the source. My only other wish is for a 'hook' to Contacts from within other apps (Gmail, Messages) to eliminate app-switching. Otherwise, it is almost perfect!

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!
