Didnt work correctly for me

When I moved contacts from an Microsoft exchange account to iCloud, I empty contact entires with no phone numbers. But the same phone numbers are visible when viewed from whatsapp. Some data format issue, it seems.

Good

Does what it says - lets you move contacts between groups. It can copy contacts from your phone to an exchange account, you have to delete the ones saved locally afterwards, though. UI needs some polishing (checkmarks disappear sometimes, no "check all" button, crashed once, not very intuitive). Otherwise good.

Super quick, but...

Needs to have mailing address and website too!

Very Effective

An excellent app that has earned a spot on my home page. I have tried a number of the apps which add contacts faster than the native Contacts, and this one is very reliable and quick. Most importantly, it does not mess up my syncing with my Gmail contacts, which another of the apps (Digits) did. It would be great to be able to edit the newly added contact, as some of the other apps allow. Can this very useful feature be added by the developer, please.

It can move contacts btw address books

Bought this just because I needed to move some contacts between my address books. This worked well. It can also quick add contact and I can decide which address book.

Cant check all contact of a group at once

Need to be checked one at once before Moving them

Worked perfectly !

I needed to copy 1200 contacts from an Exchange group from my old company to my new companys address book. Worked flawlessly.

Fraud Alert! Will unrecoverably delete contacts!!

This is interstate wire fraud causing real actionable damages. Lost my contacts.

Doesnt work for me

I use Google Sync to manage my contacts, which may be the cause of my issue: App does not work: when I try to create a group to manage an email distribution list, I get an error: "Cannot create group for this source" There are other apps that work well for this function, so its not worth trying to wait for an update or a fix.

Just what I was looking for

Easy way to move contacts from one group to another. Good app!

You saved me!

I mistakenly put most of my contacts in my work contacts. When I left, I realized it would be painstaking to have to re-import everything. Also, since I was afraid to delete my old exchange account, my battery was draining very quickly trying to connect to it all the time. 99 cents and a few minutes with your app...problem solved! Thank you for giving us functionality the iPhone should have already had!

Avoid this app

This is the worst app I have. Tried to add a group and it turned 40 contacts into over 1600 multiple entries. It freezes and the support is non existant. Its coming off as soon as I can delete all the duplicate contacts.

Used to work.

ITS BEEN ALMOST 2 MONTHS SINCE I FIRST WROTE THIS REVIEW ON AUGUST 30TH. WHERE IS THE FIX?? This app used to work great (albeit slow, when you have a lot of contacts). Now it crashes all the time when I start the app & press "more" in the upper left. The only thing I use the app for is to categorize contacts that have not been assigned a category / group. After categorizing I then import the new contact into Daylite Touch. Ive deleted, reinstalled & rebooted to no avail.

Amazing!!!

6 stars this saves so much time!! I had 5 contact groups, I merged them all into one with in 3 min.

Works with caveats

Before using this app you should be sure you have a backup. I lost most of my address book on the first try and has to go to a backup to try again. Lessons learned: . Dont add groups for mail services for which the iPhone does not support groups. I tried to add a group for Yahoo with this app and moved contacts into the group. A short while later the group and all contacts in the group disappeared. . I was able to successfully create folders in Outlook and in the OSX Contacts apps. After sync, I was able to move several hundred contacts between the Exchange and local groups as well as Yahoo (no groups/lists used for Yahoo.) The interface workflow is a bit sketchy and I doubt that I will use it for the intended purpose of speedy name entry. However this app delivers groups management functionality where Apple completely fails to do so in the iPhone contacts app. Sometimes I felt like I was cleaning a loaded gun, but I attribute this largely to Apples inconsistent support of groups in vendor email connectors. The app would benefit from some protections in this area. This app saved me DAYS of work, so even with issues it, easily earns five stars.

Simple &Efficient

I havent find another app that do what this one does easily: transfers contacts between accounts. My family have many google and yahoo accounts and managing contacts from all these accounts was crazy. I wanted to consolidate the contacts in few accounts. With this app I could do it! Great!

No Select All

Theres an uncheck-all button, thats much too easy to tap, so a careful selection can be trivially wiped out. But amazingly, theres no check-all button. For an app designed to do batch processing of a lot of contacts, its UI I a huge let-down.

Alphabetical app

Now happy at all with this application It stated that it could alphabetized the list by company. NOT!

Huh?

Doesnt recognize existing groups and everything I have is listed as "unfiled". When I attempt to create a group, it fails!

+1 on lack of "Select All"

I bought this to move all my contacts to an Exchange server. But there is no select all option, and there is no way I am going to select all 1175 contacts individually. When I looked at screenshots I assumed the "uncheck all" button was a toggle. It isnt. I should have read all the other reviews because it appears there are other problems with moving contacts to Exchange. Oh well, $0.99 wasted.
