Contacts +

After this app went abs pear-shaped (screen wouldn't light up on incoming calls, despite phone ringing and I couldn't get to the Accept Call button to touch or swipe to Accept), I missed loads of calls and was due to switch back to stock Android Phone and Messaging apps. But uninstalling & reinstalling Contacts+ seems to have sorted the problem.

Since the last phone update the app freezes, I hard close it, then it works, but it consistently freezes on the 2nd task, have to hard close, then it works on 2 uses, then freezes, repeat. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. As of 5/23/22 problem still persisting, no changes, no replies. Shopping for another program now.

So I have been a long time user of this contacts app, but for a while now it's just not saved any new contacts. On top of that, the premium version of this app is ludicrously expensive. £97 per year! That's the same price as a Netflix subscription for a contacts app on a phone. I don't know exactly where you people get off thinking that is in any way reasonable or rational for an app like this. You can get fully fledged desktop software for less than that. I could get Microsoft 365 sub for that!

I really want to love this app, but it always ends in frustration. I've paid for the subscription, but it just seems like features disappear, not increase or advance. Now I can't even tame my contacts list into smaller manageable lists like 'favorites' like I used to.. That makes this app useless in my opinion. If I can't manage a large list of contacts what's the point. This is painful. So disappointed.

I rated a 5 because I have a lot of Contacts getting transferred from AT&T Mobile to US Cellular and it's a lot cheaper than paying out of my wallet. My Representative Payee helped me out before the due date has passed. Rather pay $99 a Month to $58. You see the difference. It's going to work out fine. I have a lot of names added from either Phone Number or True Search from Google Play Store. I'm adding more names from Facebook or LinkedIn. I'm getting Updates right now. Thank you for helping me

I really liked this app a lot but I just had to call 911 last week (8/1/21) and it wouldn't connect. Just dropped my input as if it was invalid or something. Never ran into anything like this before. Had to panic switch to my default phone app to get through to 911. Not sure if it was me or the app, but I got through on my default phone app. Edit 1/26/22: Dropping this to 1 star from the 2 I originally had after a lot of reflection. The app literally didn't work when I needed it the most.

Was a brilliant app, since recent update I am experiencing same issue, can't easily answer call, so deleted until you fix

I bought the pro version of this app back in 2015; never had any issues - it got the job done, had the features I needed, was ad-free and convenient. The current "new" version has ads (my account was reset to free status), an ugly interface and artificial limitations (number of contacts). And all that without any further notice before this switch was going to happen. A phone/contacts app is something to rely on for a long time, which I cannot really on this one. Apologies, you lost a customer.

The new interface just doesn't make sense to me. Paid for Contacts+ because of the sleek design and integration of sms and phone (in one place). Couldn't find a way to switch back the interface after the update, which simply added extra steps to all features. After the update, I'm back to the default contacts app, will be looking for a new one.

I really liked this app because unlike a lot of other contact management apps, when I do a search, it does a thorough search that includes the notes. However, one deal breaker is that in the free version, when I'm on a call I often can't find the handset icon tk hangup, and also when I have an incoming call it sometimes does not pop up so I can answer it!

*****I will be uninstalling Contacts+ and moving to another app.***** I've been using the app for years, had even paid for the pro version, but with the latest update they have taken a once great app and have taken away many of the features that were the reason I originally went with Contacts+. I don't seem to be the only one who is unhappy with the update. Charging $100 plus a year for a contacts app (which I just barely pay for Photoshop) that has been stripped of features, is ridiculous.

I'm using this app for years now (the free version). It used to be a good app, but the latest updates are a significant downgrade to the experience and to the functionality. I miss the "lines view" which I preferred over the current grid view. The missed calls/messages overlay insn't working on my homes creen and I came across a bug while adding a contact from the call log - it's being added and after a few seconds it's being removed.

I've been a paid user for 2 years. The new updated downgraded the app to a "free" version and now wants me to buy a new, rather expensive, subscription. I emailed them for an explanation, but got a form email back asking for a log from my phone to diagnose the problem. The problem has nothing to do with my phone. A quick look at their recent reviews will clearly show what the problem is. I'll give them until the weekend to fix this and then I'm uninstalling and moving on with life.

UPDATE: Contacts+ did get back to me after leaving this review and they solved the problem for me so I'm back to using their app--so happy! The problem/solution BTW is with Android...I turned off autofill and the bubble stopped popping up. I hate to leave this app, but....I had to. I've been using it for many years and loved it, but a few months ago a problem started that I have yet to get a response from the contacts+ team after emailing them about how to fix it. What's happening is that there is a bubble with my phone number with a plus sign in front of it hovering over the text entry field for typing text messages. It partially covers the text entry box and the text message before it that I'm responding to.

I have been using Contacts+ for many years and it periodically seems to keep losing features. The latest update adds some nice colours but now offers only a large and childish looking grid of three contacts per row. With a large number of business contacts this gives the sensation of looking through a peephole and is difficult to navigate. I think it's perhaps time I (reluctantly) shopped around for a different app. Better suited to casual users now I think.

So like most of you, I am extremely disappointed in this POS app. I dropped it and went with Smart Notify. Don't even waste any more time with this app. All you get is an automatic response that says contact support team. Plus all the good reviews here are bogus. I have no connection with The Smart Notify app. It does everything that the old Contacts + used to do and they don't try to to rip you off. Its free...no ads

What have you done? You removed all the customisation. The dark mode doesn't work properly (copying text displays a blank selection page). I can't swipe between tabs. I can't change back the order that the tabs are in. I can't remove the assistant tab. And the spacing on the left while browsing contacts is to large. I also can't change the size and spacing of contacts, i.e. how many contacts I can see on the screen at once. And for gods sake, bring back square icons! What am I even paying for?

I decided to try Contacts+ again, half a year after the release of the 6th version, hoping that some problems are gone. Nope, still pretty terrible. The contract group filter does not work, but shows all contacts, instead of a specific selected group, though you choose just this group in settings. Icons are constant size, can't make them bigger. Only two themes, light and dark, no colour options, as it used to be. All in all, quite bad. Back to True Phone for me. Won't try this garbage again

Thanks for your response. I returned to my contacts+ app a few days later and the edit now works. Thank you! Can't edit a contact. I just downloaded this app. It was recommended online. I created a contact and saved. Then I searched and chose the contact to edit but I can't edit it. Instead I get a message that says "choose a contact to edit"! I've already chosen it and tapped on the pencil icon! Makes no sense!

The last update ruined it. It took away a lot of the customization it had before. Also, sms pop-ups now take over your screen and won't go away unless you physically swipe them from the screen. You also can't get into your phone now if there's an sms pop-up unless you first swipe the huge, ugly pop-up. Changing the notification options does nothing...choose "no pop-up"and you still get 'em. I previously purchased the upgrade, so I don't want to ditch this app, but.......

Remarkable how developers can turn the best contacts app into the worst. I've been using contacts+ for more than 5 years. Amazing how many aspects of the app has been changed for the negative. Wiill be deleting the app and using default app until I identify a replacement. Update: a minor change was made allowing sorting by frequency. Now, how about letting us sort by category and customize ring tones. Anything less and deleting. There are alternatives, prior to update no other app came close.

Not usable since 11/2019. I have been using this app for 2 years. I was happy till the last update. The contact list was replaced by childish bubbles and there is no way how to change it. I contacted help desk and got just general reply about merging with some other apps and bringing new features.... Bla bla bla. No specific answer. Contacts on a widget were randomly changing their positions, no way how to sort them (eg. alphabetically). Got frustrated and unistalled app. What a shame!

In 2016, Contacts+ was a great app and I had paid for a lifetime upgrade to Plus - 5 stars. As of October 2019, I've reduced it to 1 star. The latest update indicates I am now "Premium Silver", which is basically "Ad-free" and no features. All "premium" features I previously relied upon, most notably syncing contacts with multiple accounts and merging, have now been moved to an even MORE premium version which requires a hefty monthly or yearly subscription. I am quite disappointed, and will be looking at competitors who now are what Contacts+ was then.

I *used* to really like this app, but ever since a recent upgrade it's been a mess! Group chats would not show the names of who wrote each text or else the same name would show up on each message, but the worst happened today - the app literally sent a text to the wrong person. I only know because that other person texted back confused, and I had to go to the native messaging app to check what was going on. A real shame, it used to be a great app!

I generally like this app but recently am unable to take photos from the app to send a MMS. It says "no application found". Would be great if that was fixed, and it I could set a separate notification tone for texts instead of it being the same for everything. Edit: nope, you broke it. Since the last update my contacts are in some random order. It's not first or last name, nor is it people I frequently interact with. This app started out great but has gone downhill. Uninstalling.

I used to really like the layout and the customisation options of this app. The new upgrade is unpractical and let's say it ugly. This enormous bubbles with contacts take too much space. I used to be able to set up the main screen as the call log, not possible any more. Please change it back.

I do not like the latest update& new presentation of pictures of the contacts rather than previous easy to find listing. And there's no facility in settings to change presentation. Takes me longer to find a contact as I now need to start typing the contact, rather than whistling down a listing. Pity. Have now reverted to Google Contacts and deleting Contacts+ Update 30/09/20: Tried app on new device. Disappointing again. Only view in portrait mode, not landscape (tablets). Deleted.

Love it. Been my favourite contacts app for ages now. Went premium quite some time go. Unfortunately the removal of backup has meant that I will not be supplied with the app that I paid for. I am sure you guys knew this was coming, but there has been no information to your paid subscribers, which is disappointing. I second the thought another poster gave about a manual option. Unfortunately your suggested alternative is a VERY expensive one that will be out of reach to a lot. After years of great service this is a disappointing finish.
