Or for the first time enjoy all of the benefits associated with a properly functioning contact database. Case Study - the number of dup's in my iCloud database had grown out of control to the point of where even a simple name search would freeze my phone after only inputting the first letter of someone's surname so substantially it could often takes 10 seconds for available RAM to accept the entry of a 2nd letter; then my address book became corrupted exhibiting an assortment of strange occurrences - I had a random email address stealthily become part of more than 180 out 11,000 contacts, further my notes field in more than 500 records was mysteriously filled with data from other contact records along with info that I had no idea where it came from. So after trying a slew of utilities that never solved these problems, a couple years ago when I was in the midst of these problems a friend in IT recommended Contact Sync by Playa Apps. Based on what is likely the best iOS architecture that exists, Google Contacts, Contact Sync by Playa starts and ends with a solution which almost completely relies on Google Contacts architecture for an almost instantaneously repair and elimination of every problem mentioned above altogether along with merging and removing duplicate record in no time, this problems also spilled over into my Mac's contact database as well and Contact Sync by Playa not only fixed my iOS based problem but it also fixed my Mac's address book troubles simultaneously. Give it a try you'll love it.Jon K - Phila

I’ve been using Contacts Sync for so many years I don’t remember when I started. But I do remember what a mess it was before Contacts Sync to keep my Apple Contacts in sync with my Gmail account. Not to mention it was impossible to sync and use Google Contacts Groups with Apple Mail.The other very important benefit to using a truly necessary utility is having access to the developer when a problem occurs or you fail to understand something the app is doing…or not doing. This app’s developer is very transparent, and in all these years whenever I had a question he was always there for me. I just realized this weekend how important that was when I had a small issue of forgetting how to do something and emailed him late Friday evening. I expected a reply on Monday, which would have been just fine, but he replied in only a few minutes. How many developers do this? I’m guessing not many.Whenever I get a new iPhone, this is one of the first apps I install…I couldn’t live without it. I sincerely appreciate the developer’s commitment to keeping it updated and providing users with one of the most useful apps in the App Store.

My iPad 7 died and I had an iPAd Air that was no longer being used with another Gmail login. I also have a iPhone 15 Plus that had both Gmail and iCloud contacts from my login and the iPad Air user login. I tried numerous times to sync or even copy the contacts from my iPhone but could never get it to sync. After days of trying, I searched the internet and was able to find and download this app and sync my iPhone an iPad Air with all of the contacts from iCloud and Gmail. In addition, the contacts had labels that may have been from filtering the contacts. I was able to organize my contacts in minutes.This is definitely a buy for frustrated contact sync issue users at a very reasonable rate.Solve your sync problems in minutes, not days or weeks!

Sometimes you just need an app to do one thing well. In the case of Contacts Sync, the name says it all. It seamlessly updates all the contact changes you’ve made on any device and makes sure all your other devices have the same info. For reasons I can’t fathom iCloud does a pretty poor job of this. My only complaint is that although I have it set for auto-sync, it will sometimes stop syncing for no reason I can discern (and, yes, I’m aware it needs to be running as a background app in order for the sync to take place). Sometimes I don’t notice the syncing has stopped until I go try to find a contact that I *know* I put in, and it is missing from one of my devices. To be fair, Contact Sync will notify you when auto-sync has not occurred for a while, but I still don’t understand why it stops in the first place.Other than that little nit-picky thing, I really love the app and have come to rely on it.
