It didn't download all my fb contacts unfortunately, but with some patients figuring out how to find ID numbers, I manually added all my contacts, plus I was able to assign my local businesses like taxis and pizza shops through their pages. Now that it's done it works perfectly!!! Thanks for the great app!!!

Garbage.. Way too complicated, way too many hacks to go through. I thought the app was suppised to do it for me? Its making me do all the hacking myself. I coulda downloaded each friends pic and added it to my phone myself faster than what this app is doing. Uninstalled. Thanks.

Used to work, now not so much. I used to use this app extensively as it's about the only one that would actually allow me to import ALL of my contacts (unlike Sync.me). However the import script doesn't seem to work any more. I got a new phone and was trying to set up on the new phone and when I run the script to import my contacts it goes through all 125 of my Facebook contacts only to report all 125 as "errorneous". No reason why, just that error. I'm using the non-root method. I tried going to the developer page and get nothing but a 404 error. Has the developer abandoned this app?

Great companion app. Only hours seem to work for sync interval, days and weeks are always set to 1 and it does sync every other day. Seems something is still broken there.

I absolutely love this application... After some confusion I learned how to manually add pictures to my contacts one at a time... But I don't know how to backup my contacts with all the pictures I added?

Too complicated. Don't waste your time

K70%
by K####:

The only app that can actually sync fb contacts easily. It works great with root. Without root you have to make a list of friend IDs, but at least it works!

Great app. 2.98 still has problems setting sync interval. I was forced to select hours to make it work.

I have been a long time user of this app and really love it. Especially with the support from developers. But in the latest update i have issue in syncing the contact with Facebook. After setup auto sync and press autosync in the menu, nothing happens. Evenwhen i go to a single contact and press sync button on top the image is not updated. Please help to fix this

N70%

The earlier versions worked great for me but this latest keeps hanging. I manage to save settings one time then it hangs and I have to kill the instance and restart it again. Update: Already on v2.96. It still crashes. I use a Sony Z3 compact on marshmallow 6.0.1
