Quick background on myself and CRM's. I've used Salesforce, Zoho, and GoHiglevel at different points in my sales career, and I think they are all great CRM's. I could have chosen any of them but I was curious to see what else was out thee before pulling the trigger on one of those services. Keep in mind I wanted something that had a blend of simplicity and sophistication because my sole purpose is to focus on growing my personal relationships as well as business relationships. This app has made the blend so easy and simple for me to jump right into with the ease of importing my contacts, creating fields, and tags to simply manage and organize my contacts the way I need to view them. The one time purchase price is nearly a robbery to this company for all that they put into this app. There's much more that you would have to find out for yourself. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase for the ios and mac version. This has been an amazing experience!! Last but not least, I had a qusetion in regards to a capability and recieved a response within a hour. I'm just saying, to not be paying a subscription and receiving that type of expedited service in this age is amazing. I hope whoever reads my review is inspired to try this app out, you wont regret it!
This program changed my business

I’m a carpenter providing services rather than products. I was a little skeptical at first as to how this CRM platform would meet my needs assuming it was designed to work for product based sales. I was wrong and am glad of it. Having a system which tracks all contact with my clients and the related tasks for them in the same program has made my productivity move from an unreliable memory to an observable process so I can see where I’m falling behind on my work. I will say a feature I was not sure would really do any service for me until I figured out how powerful it can be is the fields. I have my entire sales process from qualification to post fulfillment checkup tracked. The one thing I would suggest to the developers would be to maybe make a short video series detailing their program in steps with examples of how different businesses would benefit from it. Basically create a training series which could also be used in marketing their product. I’ve told other business owners I network with about this program and will continue to do so.
Excellent personal networking tool!
Effective Networking
Updated prior review, confirming all comments still hold true after heavy use for the past 8 months. I would add that the customer service team is VERY responsive to feedback on both bug fixes as well as enhancements. I purchased the lifetime license version and use across my MacBook, iPhone, and iPad. It took me a few tries until they all synchronized but since then it has been a fabulous tool. On Zoom calls, I will have the Zoom video on my laptop screen and this tool on my big screen so I can take notes in the log tab of the contact I'm speaking with. I finish the call and move to the ToDos tab and set follow up actions and reminders. I use the tags to organize my contacts into "tiers" for networking purposes, which makes it super easy to sort them based upon the activity level is should invest in each one. you can do this sort of thing without an app, but this makes it SO much easier to keep track, stay organized, and prioritize my work. no gimmicks here...a worthy purchase!

I use this on my mac and my iPhone. I am a real estate agent that specializes in apartment locating. I deal with tons of people and this has been great with keeping my life organized!! The “Logs” function is great because I am able to keep track of our communication in an easy platform that i’m able to access on my computer or phone. With hundreds of different people in rotation i’m able to keep a system of follow up and remember what’s going on with each customer. The “To-do” section is great of course because i’m able to sync reminders with my calendar in one platform and easily view upcoming events with specific customers. It’s great to keep orginized notes, groups, and contact info as well. My only develeper issue so far has been with syncing though that has been fixed and when I’ve had a user error the support staff has been fast, friendly, and helpful.
