Backup Contacts for Android
⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩⇩
✎ Note:
This application do not restore contacts! yet... We recommend using the restore suggestion below.
Restore Contacts Tip:
⇨ Import the CSV file with http://www.google.com/contacts.
⇦ Contact data will then be synced back to your device.
Why Backup Contacts?
When new contact data is created on your Android™ device, you would think that it’s all saved at the same place by default? this is not always true.
Contacts Data could be saved in places like:
⇨ Google account - contact data
⇨ Phone/Tablet - contact data
⇨ Other: Facebook etc. - contact data
The Backup Contacts application retrieves ALL contact data stored on your Android™ device and saves it into ONE text file for safe keeping.
✎ Note:
If you loose your Android™ device! the only contact data backed up by default is the Google account - contact data!
If you like this application, give it some stars.

How to restore contracts. I have factory restore my mobile and after installing application to view csv file, no csv file is found

How to restore it... unable to find restore option. .. help !
I dont trust any one source to backup my contacts. This is my happy second copy.
Idiot app
Really useful app. There's nothing worse than losing your contacts, it's nice to know they're backed up safely.

CSV file does not have individual values under the various columns, instead all the information is in one cell on the spreadsheet. This means you cannot import with Google contacts like the app says, because Google contacts can't read the file in this format.
Awesome game next level graphics very smooth interface great job guys i love this game
Great App!!! Allows you to export into CSV file all of your phone's contacts, then upload it to Dropbox or simply email it. On demand you can keep allof your contacts secure. Sometimes it is easier to manually export and then import contacts than counting on a fishy app
Works well for saving stuff I don't want to loose
But as others have pointed out it also needs a restore to be complete
Am loving it
Backed up ALL data from ALL fields!
Did exactly what I wanted, to create a back up in case of emergencies and email it to myself in readable format without devouring phone space
Convert the backup in excel format, its better to have it than not!
Simply and easy way to backup contacts. Missing effective restore function.
I am surprised to see so many low ratings. But it works for me perfect. I can take a backup locally on SDcard or cloud to my Drop Box so easily! !!!
Almost useless unless it can restore.
Really helpful! Thank you!
not able to import contact to csv file which is stored on sd card.
The first app I found (I tried at least 6 others) that will do a csv backup from Android and restore to Windows People app. Did a backup to csv file, emailed it to myself (a program option), restored it on my pc. Easy, accurate, no hassle. It works.
No Group Information in Backup File
Only 96 from 250 contacts where saved and only the names and email addresses (without the phone numbers).
You have to keep the file format as .vcf which is very popular Backup file format nowadays & not .csv(Comma Separated Value) which is a very old & outdated format.I couldn't open the backup file from Office Pro App installed on my phone. Too much Useless.
So it makes a "Contacts" folder on the SD card. Now what?? Not satisfactory to give us a tip to search Google for an import (restore) solution.
A great tool for keeping important documents safe.

where are Nickname, Notes, and any other additional fields on the contacts file - using Android latest version - many other fields available, wonderful system! so a good backup should back up absolutely everything excluding of course things like ring tone or photo even though they could be also copied but that would be more than expected. of course, the no-restore availability is also an issue. I notice that the latest version is from March 3, 2013 - is this company still there? this is a problem with many apps. I like the simplicity - there is no requirement for anything more complicated as long as it works and is updated for new versions of Android. i will gladly pay for this if it does what I need.
This app is poor bcoz can't you have Your supported contacts this is not working
Its good concept with an amazing graphics n great idea love to use it
Simple, fast and great app. I used to have Blackberry desktop and moved to Samsung... with this app it was easy to have at "least" a back up of all my contacts.. Simple, fast, user friendly... no worries...
