It's working (slowly and with some tedium) – Delete Contacts Fast - DeleteQ Review

I have had a chronic problem with my iPad contacts that Apple Care was unable to help with. The only solution they could give me was to do a factory restore and put everything back on my iPad manually as iCloud backup just brought back the problem. What problem? 238,189 contacts in my AddressBook database. iOS 6 has no way to delete these contacts. I could turn off all contacts in settings but this doesn't delete the AddressBook db. When i try to turn on iCloud contacts I get a message telling my that iCloud will merge its contacts with the ones already on my iPad... not what I want. That's where my problem was. Other apps that I tried (apps designed to dedupe contacts) crashed trying to load my AddressBook db. After searching forums someone recommended this app and for the first time I actually got a record count and can see why most apps crash when trying to access my contacts. So far DeleteQ crashed once when trying the "remove duplicates" function. Now I'm just going to delete all contacts and then try turning iCloud contacts back on. So far it's deleted 599 of 238,189 contacts without crashing. Wish me luck. Update (24 hours after initial purchase): app works well however it only deletes about 3000 contacts at a time and then the progress indicator speeds up significantly. At about 60% or so the app crashes. When I restart the app the new total record count drops by about 3000. Evidently nothing is deleted when the progress indicator speeds up. So I only have to try this 67 more times to completely delete my contacts (201,477 to go). Hyoungnae if you can read this please take note and see what you can do. Thanks. Update: 8/6/13 (day 5 w/DeleteQ) - after keeping at it day & night, this app is working. After getting below 200K contacts the delete duplicates actually gets past the 3000 limitation (see above). As the number of contacts continues to decrease, the app continues to work better. This morning I awoke to a "Success" message instead of a crashed app and only 7000 contacts. I just selected all and am deleting these remaining contacts. What a chore!
