Cobook App Reviews

Makes finding contacts a breeze and enhances your contact data from your social media accounts. Brilliant app and a must have. So much easier to find contacts than Address Book and adding contact data couldnt be easier than this. Love how typing a phone number or email address is automatically recognized and saves you from having to choose what field to add to. One of the best free apps.

This program is great! I love it!

Ive just started to use this app and love it! Finally an app that takes away the manual process of keeping your contacts up to date. It adds great functionality that is far superior to the regular address book apps. Plus its easy to use interface makes using CoBook a delight. Love that its free too!

Such a nice product. runs really smoothly. nice interface. shouldnt be free though!

There is so much crap out there. This app blows them all away… and it is free!!!! Easy to use and look forward to the google sync to come!

It is simple, free and it works. What esle could you ask for.

Its a great app, but I cant copy and paste my passwords into the service connection box when asked.

Not a very good app for managing contacts. Im amazed at all the 5 star ratings!! (maybe some folks are trying to hold on to their jobs).

Ive done more to clean up and integrate my address book in 5 minutes with Cobook then I was able to ever achieve Apples Address Book! Coolest feature is that you can link address cards through relationships - spouse, child, sister, brother, etc. Integration with Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter is also amazing - as some reviews have suggested, you have to accept it as it is, but at least any changes my friends make on the those sites are automatically reflected in mine. And it syncs to the iOS side as well!!! Well done!

I have several Chinese contacts, and Cobook doesnt use the "phonetic name" fields whereas Address Book does. Those names end up at the very bottom of the list, and the only way to find them is to type the actual characters. Unfortunately, that makes this otherwise nice application mostly unuseable for me. I wish someone had written a review mentioning this. Also, among the quirks, there is a fonctionnality to merge contact information, but only by using drag and drop, if you want to merge the first with the last of 2000 contacts, you have to scroll through the whole list.

The truely wondeful thing about Cobook is how it can intelligently merge data from various sources (so far, your address book that you likely already have, on your Mac, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter). Before I had Cobook, my various contacts (of which there are FAR too many) all had just as many different homes. Some people I could reach through Twitter, not Facebook, some through Facebook and by email or phone, some just by phone…with no central clearing house, so to speak, for all that data it was a nightmare. Not that I realized just how bad it was, since Id gotten used to it. Ive been using it since beta, and havent stopped. Cobook is just plain awesome. Everyone Ive ever been in contact with (electronically, anyway) is now just a few keystrokes away.

Everything works ok, except for the fact that, once installed, my original OSX Address Book can be opened, but thats the ONLY thing it can do… will not response at all…..

It works fine most of the time, but sometimes it can create duplicate contacts. On top of this, if you follow celebrities or even non-people like news stations on Twitter, it will create contacts for them that I cant seem to remove, since every time it re-syncs it pulls it back down again. The native sync in Mountain Lion and iOS 5/6 works the same way and has the same flaws, so I dont see the point of using this over the built-in apple solution.

Just downloaded it. Seems awesome but It would be great if the app received the retina treatment

Love this app - have been using it since before it came to the appStore. Note - with this update Id *thought* that my contacts were missing. Not sure if this is new behaviour, but the app may say "0 contacts" - but it just means that there are 0 contacts in the current search. Suggestion for the devs would be to have that show the total # of contacts *until* you start searching. [Im pretty sure thats how it *used* to work - could be wrong though.]

It is a nice, simple addressbook. I like the facebook and LinkedIn features. But what is missing is being able to sort contacts by buisness name, whithout having to type it into search.

My question is, is its syncing function with Google contacts robust enough to replace OS X Contacts syncing with Google contacts? This app spirited usefulness is a ready companion on the Apple desktop.

Would be nice if it has Google+ integration as well as integration with Adium for some of the chat. It also needs automatic phone number formatting It is a bit buggy on rendering long lists, I see line artifacts when scrolling

the mac address book can take many accounts i.e. iCloud, Exchange, .. and can take sub folders. Cobook advertises itself as a replacement for the mac address book which not true. i had all my contacts on an Exchange and organized into sub folders. i installed this app and it just imported from one account ( i had to pick my Exhange) and mixed up all the accounts into on folders. however, i will give the 2 stars just for the fact it is free.

This app is amazing! I never had to use it much before since I never had to deal with a lot of contacts. Now thats I"m working at a new company where contact management is actually important, I started using this and was nothing but impressed. Keep up the good work guys!
