Group Contact Lite App Reviews

I used to love this app and couldnt get along without it. A few days ago I did an update to the app and I now find it unusable. Its still great for organizing and grouping contacts. I love that part. But since I ran the update, when I click on an individual contact and go to its screen, that screen is now just like the regular iPhone contact app that came with the phone, which I find unusable. That was the reason I switched to the gcontact lite app in the first place when I got my first iPhone years ago. Now Im searching for a new contact app. Just so you know, the part of the app Im referring to is the place where one individual contact has all his/her info listed (like the individual Rolodex card for a person), and for my uses, I put a LOT of info there for each contact. Please return the screens for each individual contact back the way they were. That used to be very convenient, easy to use, and easy to look at. If its going to look and function just like the app that came with the phone then why do we need your app? Please create an update to return to the old format for the individual pages. Other than that, the grouping and organizing feature is great.

Just disastrously bad... Dont waste your time

Have several groups I send email too. This makes it easy to keep track.

I have many groups that need regular contact.

I made the mistake of updating to iOS8.2 and now I can not use this app. The app does not load the addresses correctly. When they do load the system does not recognize the addresses and the SEND button is not activated. After a few seconds the addresses disappear.

I was wondering why I couldnt get this to send to my groups and I see from the other review that its because I uploaded IOS8.2! Now what can I do?!? I manage two very competitive soccer teams and this is the app I use to communicate with parents. I use this ALL THE TIME. Any suggestions?!?

Nice drag and drop features, but has a number of bugs they dont seem to get fixed. Probably not worth paying for the full app if the author doesnt fix defects or enhance the software. Backs up to iCloud, but what about other cloud servers like Dropbox? If you already sync to iCloud, backing up there is redundant. Major annoyance!!: Contacts that have only a company name have the company name duplicated under it in the list. If you search and the string isnt found, the cancel button doesnt work so you can never exit search. You have to the app and restart it. Would be great to be able to swipe to hide/unhide the group tabs for more real estate or if you just dont want to see them. Seems these bugs and others just dont get addressed.

4/14/15 The problem sited below has been fixed. Thanks! The app is awesome again. Since updating to iOS 8.2 I cannot send group emails and use bcc or cc. If I reboot my phone the group bcc works once. Then doesnt work the next time.

Great app, love the grouping option!

Love being able to send one message individually but at the same time to many people!

Was a great app in the past but for many months now it doesnt finish the task/text/email etc keeps cutting out mid stream and misses sending out most the details being sent

Does not work with email. If you select a sub set, each time you select another email address, it reverts back to "ALL" email addresses.

Im disappointed to find that I can only text to Apple devices. Also it appears that every email requires that you open each member in the group to select one of which there might be several emails or mobile numbers. If you have a group of a number of group members, that is going to be tedious. I might as well log on to my computer. The features are pretty easy to figure out and use.

This contacts app certainly make it much easier to send group emails or group sms messages with just a few taps also if you need to omit someone from s normal group email its very easy. The ability to choose to send SMS messages all at once or one at a time is s nice feature too Adding contacts to groups is as easy as drag and drop Thanks
