Sunshine Contacts 4+

The Matrix

Over the years I have had multiple contact files uploaded into my devices causing triplicate and even quadruple contacts over time. I’ve lost details, information has merged into the wrong fields, numbers have criss crossed and it’s been incredibly unorganized and frustrating. I handle property threatening emergencies where looking someone up is critical. Sunshine saved my life and in many respects, my career. This app instantly organized my contacts and with minimal effort on my part. The best thing is, it continues to work behind the scenes to notify me of discrepancies so I can quickly correct them. Thank you, Sunshine Team, for creating an app worthwhile!

Interesting but didn’t provide any new value

I was quite interested in this app because my contacts are always a complete mess. After setting everything up the app uploaded all of my contacts to their servers for processing. This was a big red flag for me, but I read their privacy policy and decided to go with it. I would feel more secure if that was done on device. After processing for a few minutes I get an email saying the enhancements are complete. I open the app and the only “enhancements” are just LinkedIn accounts added to some contacts. This is cool, but not really info I need in a contact. The best feature was showing emails from a user in their contact card. The design didn’t seem like an upgrade from Contacts or CardHop. Perhaps other people will get better “enhancements” but the ones I received left much to be desired. I ended up deleting my account for now. Will try again down the road.

(Also very nit picky but why did I have to add a picture for myself in a portrait size only for the app to crop it to a square. It literally cut the top part of my head off in my own contact card)

Hi hughbromund,
We’re glad our privacy policy put you at ease. We do not sell or use your data for any sharing purposes and contact security is very important to us. We appreciate your feedback about our enhancements - a lot of our app works behind the scenes and over time as the app gets smarter. We would love to talk with you more about how we could improve your contacts. Please reach out to support@sunshine.com at any time.
Thanks, The Sunshine Team

Somebody finally got it right

I have been an Apple user for probably 30 years and the only piece of the entire infrastructure that I’ve been completely frustrated with is the Contacts app and functionality. I’m constantly looking for another solution. I’ve tried them all I won’t even bother to list them there’s too many, when I saw the Sunshine description it sounded very much like many others I have tried However this one is the real deal

It worked the first try I didn’t lose anything it cleaned up my contacts. It syncs perfectly with iCloud and
LinkedIn and I’m about to try to sync it with Google as well so I can get all of my contacts into a single database.

Thank you thank you thank you.
