Finally - easy way to backup my contacts
Great easy to use interface - and it actually works! Must have for anyone who cares about not losing their contacts.
Limited Export of Fields
I like the intent of this application, and its utilization of Dropbox. It does do what it says that it will do. Unfortunately, a very limited set of fields are exported, and that makes it useless to me as a backup mechanism. As far as I can tell, it only exports:
Name Prefix
First Name
Middle Name
Last Name
Name Suffix
Job Title
Department
Company
Phone, type=mobile
Phone, type=iPhone
Phone, type=main
Phone, type=home fax
Email, type=pager
Home Page
Birthday
Notes
No addresses are exported. Also, the choice of which phone numbers are exported is a little odd--no "work" or "home" phone will be backed up.
There are undoubtedly trade-offs to be made if the export is intended to be imported into a different contact management system. If, however, this app is intended to simply backup your data, it would be great if it just exported every scrap of data it can find verbatim. This would open the door for a contact restore feature that could really make this app useful.
