Private Contact 4+

Crashes everytime I try to import from my contacts.
Contacted support the reply was: We are in holidays.
Next contact replies: There is a contact crashing the application we can not replicate.
Next contact replies: try to import subset of data and experimenting…
So, I cannot import more than 3 or five contacts and have to close the app instead of saving only.
Than import more 3 or five contacts, I have more than 800 contacts, the support said there is no limitation in number of contacts.
The app crashes even if I do not import any contact.
I should not buy it again.

I cannot import my address book into this application.

“Private Contact” 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”. “Private Contact” allow you to take your sensitive contacts out of your “Mac Address Book” & place them in “Private Contact”. “Private Contact” ends up being a separate, stand alone, encrypted document, containing all you sensitive contacts. “Private Contact” does not sync & is not available for use by social networking sites. Your “Private Contact” 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 “Private Contact” rather than “Mac’s Key Chain”. “Private Contact” 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.
