After struggling for almost a month found this app. Did an absolutely neat and quick job of importing my contacts from Nokia N8 to Sony Xperia Z using Bluetooth. With my requirement met, I have yet to check out other imbedded features of this app.

I used this to import .vcf files ripped from my dumb phone. The program worked as advertised. Now I just have to go through and delete all those people who I can't remember...

In my opinion it is easy to use and quick response I tried some of the most elaborate looking software all I got was a headache trying to set them up don't let the overall rating fool you this is a first quality software . I highly recommend this software above the rest. Great job guys.

Was able to save .vcf files into my Android phonebook which I imported from Bluetooth from a old Samsung C3222 phone. Tried almost all 4 star rated applications on the play store but none did the job apart from this one. 5 stars for this app.

It worked awesomely on my Samsung Galaxy S Advance (with Android 2.3.6). I changed my Sony-Ericsson Xperia x10a and I exported a csv file with all my contacts with MyPhone Explorer, then using this tool I could get them in my Galaxy S Advance. Just a few warnings and just 1 contact not copied properly, but it is the least of my worries. Congratulations to the developer(s)!

This is an excellent app. I had issues with my contact backup from old phone, which got synced with google contacts and it was very difficult to delete the google contact. I tried 5 different apps before this and everything failed to get my job done. With this app, I just managed to get all my phone contacts imported to the new phone and during the process it deleted all the unwanted google contacts. Awesome!! 5 stars!!!

It was able to read and recover 2000+ my contact numbers which was giving error as COULDN'T READ THE VCF FILE. No need to root your mobile it's simple and took 4 min to complete the task.

Thank you so much how simple and easy this app is. Thanks alot it save my lots of time. I wish I can give this app 10 stars. :) Note: It can't import the contacts (VCF contact files) with Picture or a Note attached with it. Just a Single bug please fix it. (If it's difficult to resolve it. Leave the contact image but kindly fix for attached notes.) Lots of thanks.

I literally tried all famous contact apps on the market to restore my contact backup file..which in my case was a corrupt file. Luckily I came across this app and it worked. It successfully restored my contacts. No other app was able to handle a corrupt contact backup file exept this wonderful small yet powerful app. Thanks to the developer. I would be happy to buy u a beer.

This app was able to pull, merge, update over 9800 contacts from all of my online accounts into my phone.... I tried so many apps that kept missing data this app did it all. dome online app want you to pay fees as well too....... you will need to get an app to export all your contacts from your old phone to a vcf file then you can use this app to load up your new phone..
