Didn’t work on iPad or iPhone – The Christmas Card List Review

I tried to use this several times, with no luck. It did import correctly from my contact list. I made some changes to include spouse names or children’s names, and saved the changes. None of the saved changes persisted. On the iPad, the list appears in the Overview mode, but no entries appear at all in the address mode. On the iPhone, both views are populated, but the changes I made disappeared overnight. Also, when working with it to enter data, it bogged down to the point that it was typing one letter per about 5 seconds. I tried making changes in my contact list and then updating from the contact list in the app, but that didn’t work for the name field, only for the address fields. Oddly, out of about 20 or 30 name field changes, one persisted. Since I was signed into the same account on the iPhone and the iPad, all the views should have matched, but they didn’t. I tried quitting the app, signing out and signing back in on both devices, but no luck getting both devices to sync up. Also, when I did save changes in the address view, about 5 Save screens would pop up one after the other and I would have to click save on all of them in turn. (At a rate of about 3 seconds per click) I gave up today after seeing all the changes I made yesterday on the iPhone were gone (except that one) and the addresses view was still blank and no changes saved on the iPad. Pretty design, though. That’s your one star.
