MyLocalAccount for Android
I cannot fathom why a "local account" isn't part of the OS. Google's grab of users' private data? One thing would be nice to have in MyLocalAccount: a read-only "calendar" for birthdays so that we get them displayed on Calendar apps. Thanks for a great app.
Thanks so much for developing this app! I spent hours looking for settings so I could add a new email (POP) contact and I could not do it because Google was going to sync it with Gmail acct. I do not use Gmail mail, and it infuriated me that I pay for a new Moto Pure phone and have to fight over my contacts. This great app solved problem in 1 second! I didn't have to do anything-just added contact!
I really hate advertising companies that sell our data to governments while trying to pretend they do no evil. This application gives us back some control and removes another slice of data from the Google big brother. This and the Iron browser instead of Chrome, together with addons like Adblock Plus, keep privacy concerned individuals like us out of the active profiling that ad companies are doing. A big thank you to the developer.
For those who have figured out not to share their contacts on Google, and using the newer handsets with latest Android version. It takes a bit of a effort setting up to show on your 'Contacts' app.
Only added G+ momentarily in order to rate this app. For shame that it is necessary to do that.
How to understand that this app is working.Still now I can't add contacts to sim even after installing this app.could anyone please help?
Finally something that limits how much info gets sent about us.
Why in my moto g4 plus I am not able to save in this app after adding
Thank you FJ Softwaredevelopment. One of the few companies that is pro consumer. My phone, my business Google, not yours!!
It sounds like what I need
It's a must app for stock Android phone. It help to save contacts in phn memory.
No need to share contacts with google
Contact birthdays do not appear anymore in the Google Calendar App on Nougat. Google contact's birthday does appear fine. Help?
awesome, great solution for who wants local and not synced contacts.
Thanks for this app! It was all, I need in Googleoid 4.1.2
Great app don't have to put it all in the cloud
This is an great option for me!!!

This app is a blessing!
Excellent. But not working in CM based Nougat ROM..............
Dont know why Google keeps messing my contacts. This app helps keep all your contacts offline and simplifies the restore process.
Perfect app for local storage (on your phone, not the cloud) of your contacts. Just what I wanted and so far it worked great. What's to go wrong with the KISS approach - keep it simple stupid! Thanks to the dev.
A must! (if you want to have your contacts stored only in your phone)
We should have choice to store locally as part of android
Thanks for this app! It was all, I need in Googleoid 4.1.2
Googal contacts account duplicates contacts many times. This is effective solution to stay local with phone. Thanks. Keep it up.
Google nexus must have

Great app
Which rock do the google developers live under that they think we all need to merge our google account with phone. I wish I had found it earlier. Gives me full control over how to merge/sync contacts.
This app creates a local account for contacts and you don't need to sync with Google account. I want to keep telephone numbers separately from email addresses so this app has saved me.
I now installed this. Is there a difference to the device-contacts-list?

The bomb
I've been using this app for 5 months now and now all of a sudden my contacts have disappeared. Hoping that the file was just corrupted, I tried searching for any kind of backup within the phone's directories without any luck. I contacted support via e-mail but didn't get any answer, and this is an urgent issue that can't wait any longer, so unfortunately I'm going the route of leaving a negative review to get some fast support. Update #1: It seems that I can still see the contacts if I dial their number, but selecting them shows an error message saying "Contact doesn't exist". So they're still here, but hidden or damaged, and I need the developer's help to retrieve them. Update #2: It seems the dialer isn't showing all of the contacts, some where also appearing in my contact history, but their names get quickly erased once they scroll into view.
Like all that comes from this developer
Fj is filling a great gap. Thank you!
Can't uninstall.
Thanks for this app! It was all, I need in Googleoid 4.1.2

All that I wanted to not forcefully sync every contact to cloud. Shame that google forces users to save contacts on cloud with no option to store on device.
