Private Contact for Pc

I cannot import my address book into this application.

“this app” is the perfect app for protecting sensitive contacts that reside in your “Mac Address Book”. If you use you use your “Address Book” for keeping track of passwords, account numbers, etc. your sensitive data is vulnerable. Your “Mac Address Book” is synced to all IOS devices, which are subject to loss or theft. In today’s society, social media sites often can take control of your “Address Book”. “this app” allow you to take your sensitive contacts out of your “Mac Address Book” & place them in “this app”. “this app” ends up being a separate, stand alone, encrypted document, containing all you sensitive contacts. “this app” does not sync & is not available for use by social networking sites. Your “this app” can be backed up by burning it to a CD, something that can’t even be done with your secure notes in the “Mac Key Chain”. Makes you think that it would be better to put your secure notes in “this app” rather than “Mac’s Key Chain”. “this app” is intuitive & well executed, particularly with the additional capability of version 3.0 that allows importing contacts from your “Mac Address Book”. Tension Software, the developer, provides excellent & timely customer support. My rating is 4 stars, only because of a couple of small glitches. When these glitches are resolved in the next release it gets an automatic 5 stars. This is a follow up review. Six months ago the developer promised that he would very quickly make an updated version to correct the glitches pointed out to him. Based on his responses I was enthused & gave him a high rating. He has not made a single change in 6 months & has stopped responding to email. The app has no way handling "companies" that you might have in your contacts. It does not retain cahnges you might need to make to one of your contacts. There are more issues as well. But for me the lesson learned is don't buy any of his other 25 apps. You'll be left hanging. He's now in the 2 star category.

Really great app. The ONLY reason I didn't rate it five stars is because it does not have an iOS counterpart. If there were an iOS version of this app, it would be PERFECT!! What I like most was something that I wasn't even looking for: The ability to protect your contacts in a strongly encrypted database. An additional nice features is the ability to create multiple different address books and have different categories and different layouts in each address book. This is a serious bonus for when you use your address book for more than just business and personal contacts (like tracking all of your email address aliases). Best $8 I've spent in a long time. The app is not cheap, but it is worth it. It may not be the most sophisticated address book program available, but it is the only one I've found that operates separate from Contacts that more than meets the needs of an address book. Why this app? I was looking for an address book that freed me from the Mac OS Contacts app and its now forced integration of address completion in all apps. It used to be that you could disable autocomplete in Mail, but you no longer can (as of Mail 7.x). Thus, I found this app and it is worth every penny I paid for it. Just simply import all of your Contacts into the app Contacts, archive your Mac OS X Contacts by exporting them (in case you ever want to use the Contacts app again), then delete the Mac OS X Contacts' cards, and no longer are you forced to have to deal with address autocomplete in Mail, Messages, Facetime, etc. (Note: I had some custom fields in Contacts, and those had to be manually updated in the app Contacts, but this was not a major issue.) This is simply the easiest way -- actually, the only way -- I have found to disable address autocomplete in Mac OS X. Now, just give me an iOS app that integrates with the app Contacts, and I'll be very happy!
