NameCatcher--remember the people you meet
***Real Simple Magazine online calls NameCatcher "...a high tech way to help the name challenged." October 20, 2010
It’s so easy to meet someone and forget their name the next time you see them. NameCatcher makes this possible by storing those easy-to-forget names and helping you find them fast when you need the reminder.
Have you ever met somebody at the gym and panicked when you saw him or her again only a couple of days later and forgot their name? Add them to your NameCatcher and create the category, “gym.” Assign that category to their name and even add a reference hint or two about them. Next time you’re on your way to workout, search “gym” or any hint you can recall.
NameCatcher displays those categories and hints about people you meet so you are constantly reminded. Glancing at your master list of names can help you make that visual connection about each person.
Need more of a visual tool? Use NameCatcher’s photo feature. For example, you meet new parents on the sidelines of those soccer fields every season. For some reason it’s harder to remember their names than it is their son or daughter who’s playing on the same team as yours. Take a photo of your child with theirs and make that connection each time you go searching for their name.
Headed back to your favorite restaurant? The last time you were there you captured the name of the owner and the bartender. Open your NameCatcher app, shake the phone, and automatically see the list of people you met the last time you were there, thanks to our GPS feature.
Every person has their own unique way of using memory tools. NameCatcher was built to allow you to search how you want. If you want more details about a person, NameCatcher has “additional info” fields to allow you to add more. Some of us want the bare bones…others want more visuals, more hints and even location reminders. The app can find the name you need in a blink, using it in whatever way works best for you.
Features:
• Record information to input later.
• Keyword, category and GPS search.
• Photos
• Customizable categories.
• “A List” feature for frequently needed names.
• Sync with iPhone contact list.

Perfect!
This app is exactly what I was looking for, and exactly what I needed. I have such a difficult time remembering people's names, and this is the solution for me. Critics might say one could accomplish this via the address book, but this app serves a specific purpose that cannot be done with that. And once I successfully remember someone, then I can move them to the contacts list. Kudos to the dev!
Very excited about this app
I am a business owner & I'm terrible with names. This app looks to have all the makings to help me tremendously with remembering names I tend to forget and manage my "name anxiety" with the names I know but are not solid in the memory bank.
I'm giving it 4 stars to start for it's potential and layout. It has almost everything I was thinking that I would need when searching for this type app. I will come back and adjust my review if necessary after using it a while.
I would give 5 stars if it had the ability to choose how you want to view your main list. I was hoping to be able to set it to stay grouped by category instead of having to go to the "more" section and view one category at a time. Also, I love the subcategories option but it would be nice if those were saved in a list to click as well instead of having to type the subcategory every time.
Almost
It's surprising there aren't more apps like this out there.
This has the right features... Quick input, can put as little or as much as you want, can import to contacts, voice recording, search for any keyword, etc.
However, please add retina support and the ability to quick swipe delete names.
