Mad Contacts Widget

Love the addition of the maps icon! One thing that would be nice is to split the widget layout's photo shape into 2 options. One for contact photo shape and the other for contact layout screen's shape... so I could have round shapes for contacts and a rounded square contact screen popup.

This widget is exactly what I needed. Scalable, pic sizes adjustable, and paid version includes color customization, though free version also works great. Developer is *extremely* responsive - answered several questions immediately even about the free version and fixed a bug as soon as I pointed it out. Recommended.

First off let me say I really love this app. It does what it should do, is easy to use and looks great. My only issue is that when ever I restart my phone I lose all my contacts from the app and have to reenter all of them. Needless to say this is very annoying. If I could fix that it would get 5 stars easy but re doing the app daily is frustrating.

How do I create a new group and give it a new name?

Perfect!

The best contact widget around. Works great, extremely customizable and easy to use. You can definitely have it your way. I did a lot of searching and this one is the best by far. AND IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER! They just added caller ID. Try it, you'll like it!

What a fantastic widget. I love that you can add quick actions to each contact icon and the style that it uses to define that action makes it so obvious. The developer is exceptional. I pointed out a small enhancement via email and literally 7 minutes later a response to say he hadn't thought of that, was surprised no one else had AND had already checked it could be done (and since released). I've since suggested another idea (to add a direct WhatsApp call action rather than just taking you to WhatsApp chat) which I believe will make this widget unique as I couldn't find any other widgets that can do that. Why? so I can set up my mother's phone with just icons for all contacts including one to call her son internationally for no cost and prevent accidentally making a costly direct mobile call (it's so difficult to explain the difference between direct and WhatsApp calls). Brilliant!

Update solved thumbnails not showing problem great app 10 /10

They just broke it, my thumbnails don't come up.

I had a challenge getting it to work with a new launcher. I contacted the developer who took the time to help me get it working again. Highly recommend this app!

This is a nice widget and very customizable. A wecome addition would be ability to display more than 100 contact spots in the larger widget. Can this be done? EDIT: Well, the developer DID just that. Now the widget supports 999 contacts. THANK YOU! To add to the review I like the responsiveness of the widget when fast scrolling through your contacts. Keep it up

A nearly perfect widget for those who want contacts on their screen. Images, names, a cool contact screen (or you can use the stock one on your phone). Good looking, let's you choose the size of the contact images so you can have more per row. Alpha sorting and contact frequency sorting work great. Manual sort is a bit awkward, but even that will probably improve because this developer honestly listens to the needs of the users. This is worth the buy.

You can use it to call, text, email and more from the widget. No need to open your dialer anymore. Even has a caller ID feature, to help with saving contact info. Good and fast response from the developer, when I had questions. Definite download.

I don't understand why more people don't use this. When I got lollipop the direct contact shortcuts where small and round. I needed a bigger widget and I found this app. The only hard part was figuring out how to get a single 1×1 contact. Once I did I've had no problems with it! Thanks so much for this!

Responsive Developer: Easy to use speed dial with various customization and widget styles. Worth the paid version. Keep up the good work.

Love the app. It's slick and customisable. One issue that needs fixing is that the Whatsapp link doesn't work for contacts that are in a carddav contact book rather than a google-contacts list. UPDATE: I followed the developer's advice and it works!!! Awesome stuff - Thank YOU! Updated to 5 Stars!

Excellent app. But i would suggest changing the preference icon it looks odd, if you need an icon created i would be happy to help.

It just works. Its so great to install and set up an app and it just works and is easy.

This app worked great with the Samsung Galaxy S6 but doesn't work with Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. Hopefully an update soon.

Great, terrific, tremendous app. The customer support is second to none. The best I've come across.

Dev was so helpful and patient. Didn't take long at all to respond like most do. Once I got it to work, don't know how I lived without it. Great job!!

widget replaces my contacts on its own and sometimes will get stuck on a loading screen so i cannot use the widget at all. i know a simple delete widget and create new would fix it but... it happens too frequently and i also shouldn't have to. contacted developer and waiting for an update to fix... communication is amazing

The best contact widget around. Works great, customizable and easy to use.

Became unresponsive to my touch. If I tapped two or more time it goes to an exit window. No, I don't want to always be editing... I NEED to text or call someone!

one - I have selected two 5x4 widget and filled them with contacts. all works well until occasionally it corrupts the contacts. suddenly empty cells or same contact appears on all the cells. annoying. second - I want a 1x4 widget. no matter what I do, i always end up with a scrollable widget containing more than 4 contacts.

So I've been using the free version which I like. Except the new caller ID feature had way more ads then I was willing to deal with. The caller ID seemed to work pretty well so I thought I would buy the paid version to use without the ads. And now that I bought it it's not even there.

Suddenly started adding a "mad contacts" ad to my email signature. This can be disabled but is unacceptable default behaviour to introduce without asking me in an app I paid money for. (updated to 5 star after dev's response)

Received fantastic support from developers instantly on an issue and I raised my ratings from a 2 to a 5 because this is a great app. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Great tech support with my problem. Everything is working flawless!

Allows me to customize my contact list to my most used contacts on one screen in a flexible layout.

Looks fabulous and nicely customisable

Finally a flexible widget the suite my needs

Finally a set of contacts widgets that are simple, highly customizable, beautiful and very practical. Thanks,

Paid for full version but still get ads every time I use it and other features like changing colour still aren't working.

Perfect!

Really nice way to add a contact bar for fast access to calling, texting, and emailing your favorite contacts. App is highly customizable (but don't worry if you don't have time as default settings are wisely selected and look good). Author is talented and a great communicator. He takes pride in this app and is willing and able to fix any bugs reported.

I switched from another contact widget because it stopped working reliably. This one was missing one small feature that the old one had. So I asked the developer to consider adding it and he actually did! Not sure what to ask for next - it does all that I want and has features I didn't know I needed.

Sometimes when I tap on a contact it locks up. It acts liked I am trying to move the widget but doesn't quite go there either. If I navigate to another screen then back sometimes it works. Not always. I use it a lot for dialing while on the road. I have to be able to just click. This is a very recent problem. Otherwise 5 stars.

Contact boxes always refresh and lose whom I've selected......not customizable for screens the can fit 5 icons across.....other free ones do more than this. Wish I would have figured it out within the first 15 min so I could have returned it.

It "could" be a great app but its frustrating to use. Once you select the layout you want, its not clear what you need to do to put it on your screen. Is it too difficult to simply put an "OK" or "Accept" or "Go" button in the setup screen?
