The program doesn't select specific contacts to save, but has the option to save some "groups", like family or "starred", so I decided to try to star one contact for testing. When I tried to select a directory to save the VCF, it popped a "No compatible file manager is installed", so I decided to save it wherever it wanted. When I opened the created file, I found that it saved the wrong contact, one that wasn't starred! In one word, this program is useless!

I tried this app, as well as the "import contacts" app.Neither of them could import my Apple Addressbook vCard export file. After manually converting the file from UTF-16 to UTF-8 this app was able to import, but any contact with two phone numbers was messed up; some numbers ended up with the wrong contact! I know Apple users a bit odd way of storing vCards, but it shouldn't be that hard for an app dedicated to the job to implement these types.

I had sync my contacts from iphone with android system. Google contacts doesnt work for me, so I try 5 other android apps and this is the working one. From iOS I have vfc file from "backup" app. Only VCardIO app correctly read that file for me. This free version is pretty good. Thanks!

Useless, just use Handcent for vcard importing. Would give no stars if I could

An older version imported via bluetooth 1 at a time. Upgraded. Imported 1 vcf file. Alt contact app shows name list.Contacts force closes.

Import seems to work fine, but there's a bug in handling vCard preview from GMail app. Have to use browser. 5 stars when fixed.

Doesn't import vcard 3 files properly. Just hangs and puts invisible contacts in.

Used this to import a vcard from an iPhone that Contacts refused to import. vCardIO handled it but not very well. Opening it from Gmail failed; I had to save it with a text editor and then manually enter the path into the app. And it didn't import the phone/email type information.

Used to import nearly 300 contacts from my old iPhone 4s. Took less than a minute for them to import. Excellent app.

Nice and easy, does was it says. However, would like to see an option to merge contact info if duplicate exists - update, not replace.

Doesn't work properly with vCard v3. Hasn't been updated in a while. Always runs in background as service and no option to turn this off.

Doesn't work on HTC desire us. There's a bug when u try to export contacts to SD card. Will be a good app if fixed

I used a vcard file to import my contacts. For each entry under the same contact name it created one contact on the phone. Ie for each person n?ow i have at least 3 contacts. one contact for their email,one for the cell, one for address, etc.

On HTC Droid Eris running version 2.1, I was able to import a .VCF file but it made 3 of each item of data. Such as Street Address etc.

Only imports some fields from a vcf file. Contacts pictures sometimes work, sometimes they don't.

Req'd DL of an IO Manager (free) to export to gmail. It exported most (not all) of my contacts but didn't pick up all info. Frustrating. Uninstalled.

It doesn't import the vcf from an email attachment. It doesn't able to read the content at all. Dissapointed in Android OS!

Works ok but can't make it recognize SMS contacts on a N1 w/ Froyo. Sad tiger. Uninstalled.

Worked to generate a .vcf to send to my car. Would be nice to be able to select a single contact & export it.

Save, duplicate and retain some of most crucial information for life itself.

Can't import from folder with multiple files.

Could do with a little streamlining in the overall process and was a little slow but imported all my contacts on Moto DEFY

Very useful app. Worked smoothly. Auto add to sms is what I liked. HTC incredible

The few times I needed it, it didn't work. Milestone.

Worked perfectly to import all my contacts with pictures from my vcf file.

Not needed on desire, just use the built-in stuff
