1,673 contacts lost .... POOF

Be very very (!!) wary of this app ... I used it to backup my iPhone contacts to restore after wiping it. In prep - I spent 2 entire days organizing updating and such my contacts to tip top shape - then used this app to make "backup" file.

Tragically - after backing up contacts with this app and wiping phone - when I restored with the file created by this app .. I opened contacts only to discover (to my horror) that the ONLY thing that is the app backs up/restores is the NAME of each contact. Thats it. First and last name. Nothing else. Zip.

So I now have 1,673 contacts with first and last name only. No phone numbers, no contact images no email addresses no street addresses. No zip codes no notes no birthdays no anniversaries no note no nut him. Nada. Nothing but "John Doe" and "Sally Smith" etc. every other morsel of contact info had been vaporized. Totally. Completely. Gone. POOF.

My fault - its a free app and I took a leap of faith and ended up paying dearly for it. Maybe thats the "upgrade" offered on the app ... the free version only backs up the name (?).

Folks - youve been warned. If you rely on this app alone ... You may likely end up effectively contactless.

I created 5 test contacts and did another "backup" and restore - POOF all info but for names was again zapped.

So Im left with a bunch of names and no way To actually CONTACT them.

5 stars for the magnificent irony there.

Cant even call my own sisters thx to my stupidity in trusting the app.

Dont be as stupid as I was.
