Dex - Rolodex and Personal CRM 4+

I love Dex! I started using it a month ago and have already fully transitioned to use it for all of my personal relationship management (social, family, and professional). I’ve tried several other apps and systems for managing personal relationships (Cloze, Hubspot, Contactually, google contacts, spreadsheets) and this is the best. I especially appreciate the ability to set cadences for follow up to different people and how easily I was able to import contacts from my phone, LinkedIn, and Facebook. It’s also really easy to merge and de-dupe contacts. I love Dex and highly recommend!

Update: Sadly, I canceled my subscription. The other reviews were spot on. Until the glitches are fixed, it’s not worth using. And I worked with a rep to go over the glitches, paid for an annual subscription, and tried to stick it out. I loved every feature but until the app actually works, what’s the point of paying for it?

Original: I bought the annual subscription a couple days ago and I’m already debating if I should have. For $13 a month, it’s my most expensive app and it’s so slow. As I’m typing this, I’m staring at a blank screen on my Mac, waiting for it to load. EVERY update, even an address change, takes a few seconds to save. Syncing across devices takes a few minutes. I deleted a group twice on my iPhone and it keeps reappearing.

I love the features though which is why I’m still giving it 4 stars! Like being able to add all my email accounts to one place, seeing connections between people, having a wide range of activity types, a Home Screen that gives me a high level timeline, clean UI, easy to navigate…it’s perfect in every way. Just wish it would load and sync faster.

I’ve spent years looking for a good personal CRM solution and during that time I’ve tried everything. Enterprise CRMs, Spreadheets, writing my own custom software, note taking apps, a ton of startups. I never found a solution that nailed it until I found Dex.

To be fair, there’s a lot more to build and make better. There’s no company pages, design could be slicker, extension is buggy at times, etc.. But even in its current state, it’s absolutely better than anything else out there.

Congratulations on finding this. you’re gonna love it
