“Contacts Sync & Transfer for Multi-Accounts” allows you to efficiently sync your contacts between your iPhone local address book account and multiple social media accounts such as Google and More, etc. With this tool, you can conveniently sync all your contacts which are currently scattered across multiple Google, Yahoo!, and Facebook accounts to a single address book in your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad, and have the contact’s info readily available at all times while keeping all your contact information up to date. With this tool, you can also sync and back up the contact list in your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad to cloud servers such as Google, etc., to avoid losing contacts.

This App now supports the following iPhone address book account types: Local, iCloud, CardDAV, Facebook, Hotmail, and Exchange; it also supports external address book account types such as: Google & More. We expect to add support for additional address book account types based on your needs.

This easy-to-use App features: 1) automatic identification of you iPhone local address book account; 2) a click “Create New Account” button in the main interface allows you to manually add your external address book accounts (Google and More) to your iPhone; 3) the ability to select any two accounts, click the “Continue” button in the main interface, and sync the contacts with the sync wizard; this allows the syncing of any two selected accounts including any combination of iPhone local and external address book accounts based on your needs: 4) you can then view the contacts listed in the two accounts, choose the sync direction (“single sync” or “bidirectional sync”) and the contacts info will be synced by the wizard. The entire operation can be done completely by following the easy and accurate wizard instructions.

The App supports the syncing of contacts listed as part of a group’s info (Note: Exchange and Facebook do not use the group concept, so group info cannot be synced for those software packages); for example, if a Gmail or iPhone contact is stored in a group named “Friends,” “Family” or “Partners,” when the group is synced, all of the corresponding Gmail or iPhone contacts will also be organized into a corresponding group.

The App allows you to save all your contact’s info for all their accounts to a file using a vCard (Apple Address Book) format, which allows you to back up the contact’s info; if an error occurs during synchronization, the contacts info can be recovered and repaired promptly, to ensure the contact’s synced information is not lost.

The App also allows you to search for duplicate contacts using “contact name,” “contact phone number,” “contact email address” or other info, and to execute the duplicate search function using a one-key combination to prevent the creation of duplicate or junk contacts after syncing.

Pros and cons of Contacts Sync, Transfer & Move app for iPhone and iPad

Contacts Sync, Transfer & Move app good for

This app truly seems to provide at least a portion of the critical functionality that iOS lacks: more control of which contacts are kept with which email account. Specifically it allows bulk transfer of contacts between email accounts. (It does not directly provide for moving individual contacts between accounts.) Ive used the free/limited "back-up" feature, and it works as advertised. I havent tried the cross-account syncing, but I would expect it to work, from what I have seen of the app. I have not tried the "clean-up" feature. As the behavior for that operation is completely different, I cant assess it. The UI is adequate, but not quite intuitive for a first time user. For help, I expect the sellers very lengthy Product Description + Usage Guide in the App Store should help. Be advised! The free version of the app provides only enough functionality to demonstrate "proof of function" to prospective buyers; no more than that. This free version is limited to: • backing up 50 contacts • syncing 100 contacts between any 2 accounts. • contact clean-up: dont know. Present costs to gain full features: • backing up all contacts: $3 • syncing contacts: $4 • cleaning up contacts: I dont know if theres a cost or not. The only way the app tells the cost of a feature is when you run that feature. [[ I wish Apple made vendors be more transparent about the Δs between free & paid versions of apps. ]] Some reviewers have complained about the obvious "Chinglish" in the UI. I recommend not hold that against the author or the app; The underlying logic in the software seems to be strong, and thats whats important. It does, however, make some of the prompts quite perplexing. For example, when you attempt to sync with the free version, you get a prompt box stating the free version syncs only 100 contacts, and you are given 3 ways to move forward: buy, restore, & cancel. "Buy" & "cancel" make good sense, but "restore?!?" Like I said, the underlying logic is correct.

Was able to sync my Yahoo! contacts with my iCloud address book. However, when I try editing contacts before syncing, it just freezes; cant delete a contact, cant modify its details, etc. Guess Ill have to rely on the stock Contacts app to do all of that. Good start though.

Gave me the oportunity to transfer all my contacts from Google! Just great!!

Did everything I wanted. And my contacts were somehow duplicated on icloud, so I needed to get rid of the duplicates. Paid an extra $3.50 (or so) to do that which was fine.

It works very well also with iOS5, quite simple to use to have .csv backup files and to sync iCloud/Gmail. You have to buy the full version if you have to sync more than hundred contacts.

Some bad moments

I paid for this app since it said it can only since up to 100 contacts. I have 700+ gmail contacts and all it did was syncs like 30? Waste of money.

They only allow 100 contacts to sync, if you want more you gotta pay money. Makes you pay before you can even see if it works.

Buy a feature and then every step of the process it is "another paid feature". This app is a total ripoff.

This app does not work. I want my money back. Keep getting the error sign

With each action you are reminded to leave a review. Its irritating and shouldnt be in your face. I felt harassed into leaving a review just so it would shut up!

Seems like an app to get your data. Does nothing. Limitations are not disclosed in the description, either
