This used to be a great app but version 6 sucks. All the customization features that used to be a part of the app are now gone. Even those of us who bought the pro version years ago for the ability to customize the themes have lost the ability to do so. Now you only have the choice of a generic light or dark them with no option to customize them. You can no longer swipe from sms, to call logs, to dialer, you now have to tap the icons on the bottom of the screen. This may not seem like a big deal but it does make navigating the app more difficult than it was before. You can no longer choose the icon size for your contacts or change whether they are in list or grid view. Now favorite contacts are large icons in a grid view with a list of the rest of your contacts following with smaller icons. I've heard you have more options if you sign up for their cloud contacts but as I host my own cloud option for my contacts I don't want or believe I need to sign up for a service just to be able to sort my contacts on my phone. This is nothing more than the developers using the app to push people to their services whether people need or want them. After having loved this app for years, I'm now looking for a new contacts app.
Reviews for Contacts+
Lost my no ads version! I purchased the silver ad free upgrade years ago when it was one payment but now it asks me to upgrade again with the new subscription plan. I read recent reviews with the same issue and went to the Web page to contact the team. I followed the prompts and ended up with a message that essentially redirects me round the system. Not impressed! oops The page you were looking for doesn't exist You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved
There is nothing more irritating than paying for an App and supporting a company that decides to charge there customers for a new service after they have paid for something. The least they can do is take into account that paying customers got them there in the first place... in other words, don't charge the the loyal customers(or keep the old version that was working good, updated and make it exclusively available to the people that paid for it and supported Contact Plus)
I now have this app. Update sucks! I have multiple email accounts that I access for others signed into my phone, in the past I could back their contacts from populating to the app... Not anymore. And if you tell me I can do it from online and not from the app that is even worse. The reason for an app is so I don't have to go online all the time. I'll be finding a new app.
Latest update made the user interface more difficult. Switching to different contact list now requires more keystrokes. Cannot decrease contacts list line spacing. Cannot get rid of the "Favorites" or "recently called" block. REQUIRES usage of their own dialer, but I have other important apps that REQUIRE usage of the Google phone dialer. You cannot search for contacts via street address. Other contact managers allow search on almost anything in the record. Will probably uninstall.
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
Still waiting, and this is very long wait. --- Hello team, i am still waiting for this issue to get resolved. I bought this product 5 days ago, and nothing happend. Paid the bill and the version showing on my apps is still "Free". Did following: uninstalled / reinstalled. checked around for any option - none. I have registered this issue with support and no action till date. Usually it should have been automatic upgrade to "Pro" once I paid the bill. Don't understand the UI design.
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!
It's not bad, but it could be a lot better. Personally, I like that my contacts, calls, and messages are all in one app. A few issues and suggestions: I can't set this app as the default app in my phone's settings for spam, dialer, and contacts. It's only available in the Messages section. More options for customization and settings would be great. Also, the anti-spam needs some improvement and it is not clear how to delete the call history!
As multiple other users, previous update made my account (for which I've paid years ago) same as the free one, and after contacting the support and receiving 6.0.8 update, that was fixed. However, the only thing close to the previous paid membership is just not having ads. Most of the options for customizing are still gone, and app is nowhere near close to it's functionality as it used to be. The subscription price is extremely unreasonable - $100 a year for a contacts app? The entire MS Office 365 suite is cheaper than that.
