So you think the Contacts app doesn’t have what it takes to satisfy your every needs? Want a faster way to add new contacts and share your info with them? There are various apps for this out there, Bump is my favorite, but Numbers+ wants to take on the myth that adding phone numbers ca be pain-free.

If you want to find a suitable replacement for the Contacts app on your iPhone, here’s a quick primer on what to look for. I decided to evaluate Numbers+ based on how fast you can add a new contact, how can you share your own information with the newly created contact and what other options you have when you want to complete the contact entry, such as entering an email, an address, etc.

Hopefully, by pitting Numbers+ against Contacts, you can get a better idea of what to look for in a potential replacement for your [...]

How much time do you waste talking to your friend about your schedule for the next week, struggling to arrange a get together? It’s hard to find a couple of hours to spend with a friend, and even harder when you’re trying to arrange a reunion with all your friends or high school mates. But now, SUP is here to make it more easy for you to arrange a get together with your friends.

SUP is the social calendar app that helps you keep track of your events and participate or invite friends to events. Just register with an email address and a password, and you’re set to go. Add friends, create events and let everybody or just your closest friends know what you are up to this week. And while you’re at it, find out what events they have scheduled for the week [...]

You just heard the latest gossip. Reach for your phone, call you friend and start gossiping. Before you know it, you have been talking on the phone for half an hour and your friend isn’t even in the same country as you are. The laughter stops, you start worrying about the bill and tell your friend that you have to hang up. But what if you could call and text all your friends without paying a cent for it? Well, with Voypi you can. Sure enough, Voypi is entering a market that’s already saturated and with Skype leading the way and Apple soon entering the same market with iMessages in iOS5, it’s not sure whether Voypi will be around that long.

That’s not to say that Voypi doesn’t have its stake in this game. The app lets you make calls and send messages to your friends over the internet, without having to pay a dime, for either the app or the messages [...]

Remember when Apple was announcing their 1 billionth app download from the AppStore? It was over a year and a half ago, and now more than 10 billion app downloads later, the 1 billionth app is still strong and our opinion hasn’t changed. Bump is a must-have!

For those not familiar with Bump and still using business cards or paper napkins, meet Bump – the iPhone app that makes sharing contact information a breeze. All you need to do is run Bump, a free download, on both devices and simply “bump” the two devices together. The application will recognize the two locations and ask for permission to connect with each other. When granted, you can easily share your contact information on the fly.

Over the course of the year, Bump has continued to evolve. The initial release allowed users to bump and exchange contact information only. Now, the sharing options [...]

It should be clear by the end of this short review that ContactsXL for the iPhone is one of the most complete contacts manager applications available on the App Store. It packs a few handy features like contacts sorting and syncing with Facebook, but there’s more than meets the eye.

Promoting itself as a full featured contact manager, ContactsXL may very well have all that you need to organize your contacts, plus a few features you didn’t even know you needed. It’s of course up to you if actually do need them. For me, ContactsXL seemed like it wanted to pack in too many things at once, but what saved it was that nearly every feature is fully implemented and they work great together.

To go through a full-fledged review of all the features that ContactsXL packs would be beyond the scope of this review, but it is worth noting them down. So, in no [...]

While you can connect your Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin accounts together so that whatever you post on Twitter gets sent to all three networks, what if you want to send only certain updates to certain social networks, or to more than just three at once? Are you supposed to go into each one individually? Not really. While there are other apps out there that will let you update your social status on various networks, I recently came across one of the simplest and most effective right in my inbox.

You are? No need to wait more. It’s called Tap&Tell and it lets you connect the following accounts: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, Identi.ca, Tumbler or Plurk…in any combination you want.

The reason I say it’s dead-simple is because it really is. All the setup you need to do is allow the app to access your various social networks. You can [...]
