Works with caveats – Speed Names - Contacts Review

Before using this app you should be sure you have a backup. I lost most of my address book on the first try and has to go to a backup to try again. Lessons learned: . Don't add groups for mail services for which the iPhone does not support groups. I tried to add a group for Yahoo with this app and moved contacts into the group. A short while later the group and all contacts in the group disappeared. . I was able to successfully create folders in Outlook and in the OSX Contacts apps. After sync, I was able to move several hundred contacts between the Exchange and local groups as well as Yahoo (no groups/lists used for Yahoo.) The interface workflow is a bit sketchy and I doubt that I will use it for the intended purpose of speedy name entry. However this app delivers groups management functionality where Apple completely fails to do so in the iPhone contacts app. Sometimes I felt like I was cleaning a loaded gun, but I attribute this largely to Apple's inconsistent support of groups in vendor email connectors. The app would benefit from some protections in this area. This app saved me DAYS of work, so even with issues it, easily earns five stars.
