## Description

Contaqs is your virtual secretary for organizing your address book, automatically pulling data from your iPhone contacts and Facebook to make fast, easy management effortless. Smart Lists group contacts by shared attributes, so you can find, browse, and connect without manual tagging. See photos next to names and search by first name, last name, company, phone, address, or even a face.

Drag-and-drop to move contacts between groups, one-tap actions to call, SMS, or email an entire group, and handy features like favorites, birthday reminders, and map view. Export contacts as VCF files and back them up securely, with privacy as a priority—your data isn’t shared with third parties.

## Review summary

Reviewers praise Contaqs for its powerful grouping and feature-rich approach beyond native Contacts, plus regular updates. However, recurring problems include crashes, an off-by-one birthday bug, unreliable group texting, and iOS compatibility concerns. Several users question whether the paid app justifies the cost amid these reliability issues. Overall sentiment is mixed: strong capabilities and ongoing development are appreciated, but stability and update timing are major complaints.

### Pros

- Robust group management features (Groups and Smart Lists) that go beyond the standard Contacts app.
- Powerful feature set beyond native Contacts (birthdays reminders, map/geolocation, 'contacts nearby', and cleanup tools).
- Regular updates and ongoing development that add real power to Contacts.
- Nice design and generally easy-to-use interface in many views.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and freezes; the app often slows or becomes unusable.
- Birthday dates offset by one day in iPhone contacts, causing incorrect calendar entries.
- Group texting delivery fails or is unreliable.
- Compatibility issues with iOS 13/14 and ongoing requests for updates.
- Perceived poor value for money due to stability issues and features not meeting expectations.
