### "A Solid Concrete Base for all of Your Contacts"

April 14, 2026

5.0

Google Contacts is reliable and I use it as my basis for storage of all of my contact information. It survives any and all of my phone service changes and works well with iPhone, Android, etc.

Pros

I have used Google Contacts as my accumulator for all of my contacts for over a decade. The value is excellent compared to any other service. It is very intuitive to use. It is easy to connect to any CRM system used in email marketing. It works seamlessly with my email system and the speed is second to none as there is no delay in my sent emails as with many enterprise email servers. I use my CRM integrally with my contacts for lead management and follow up management.

Cons

I have no cons after using the system for over a decade. Many contact systems are not compatible with others - this one works across the board with any system I have used.

### "Google Contacts "

June 30, 2025

5.0

Pros

Easy to input all sources of contact information for each individual person. Like the compatibility a specific person also has a Google account.

Cons

Contacts are hard to transfer from other systems (or I just haven’t figured it out yet). Easier to use if person has a google account.

### "Reveiw that help while using Google contacts"

June 29, 2022

3.0

Pros

The Google contact is one of the best way to arrange all your contacts in organised manner and the contact can also sync with Google account so if we change our device then only with Gmail I'd we can get all our contacts. We can merge duplicate contacts, and the search feature is also very fast and optimised.

Cons

The Google contact have no feature of grouping the contact, and also it does not hide incomplete numbers, sometimes it lags, and the other thing is that it need proper internet connection to save our contact, also if we share contacts books to other then sometimes some contacts are missing, overall the software is good.

4.0

I believe with having a google account on every device I use I appreciate being able to find what I need fast and easy.

Pros

It stores every single phone number that I need and allows me to transfer them to any phone or tablet

### "Why use anything else?"

November 28, 2025

5.0

I use Google contacts for work and personal. By using two separate Google accounts, I can keep my contacts separate but still have easy access to both.

Pros

It's easy to back up and restore my contacts across devices. It's free and very helpful. It also has great integration across other products.

Cons

No issues with Google contacts. I've been using it for years and never had any problems at all with the app.

### "Reliable. Syncs with everything I need."

April 6, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with Google Contacts has been good. It does what it says and says what it does.

Pros

super easy and i love that it integrates with my gmail account. I also like that it integrates well with my google calendar and syncs to my iphone. Super cheap. Customer support i've never had to worry about. Lead management is good because contacts are added automatically. For sure makes email management easy. Performance and speed is reliable.

Cons

I only wish it natively synced with my ServiceM8 crm, but i can just make zap for that. Or maybe a direct webhook.

### "with google contact, your contacts are always at the tips of your hands"

December 22, 2025

5.0

Pros

The amazing thing with Google contacts is that it doesn't mater wether you change your phone, tablet or any other device. your contact are automatically available once you connect with your new device

Cons

### "Ubiquitous Access To Everyone I Know"

September 24, 2025

5.0

I have found it to be a good experience that allows me to track phone numbers, emails, and even birthdays with ease. I like that I can layer each person with personal, business, home, and cell numbers and information.

Pros

I like that, like most Google products, it's ubiquitous. I enjoy the fact that I can find my contacts on my phone, computer, or any device in the world. I also appreciate that it is smooth in its use and function.

Cons

There are some issues that arise when there are duplicate contacts or information that seems separated. The good news, though is there seems to be more accountability from Google's integrated AI that finds these problems more readily.

5.0

I only use Google Contacts on my phone. It is reliable for adding numbers to email contacts I already have for phone calls or WhatsApp.

Cons

I can’t think of any part I like least. This native contact manager for my phone is the best it can be.

### "Google Contacts Review - It's Good"

June 20, 2024

4.0

We have been using Google Contacts for many years now and have found it to be reliable and a good tool for managing our contacts. Its integration into other products, like Gmail and Google Calendar, make it easy to keep my contacts organized and accessible.

Pros

On the plus side, it integrates well with our other Google products (we use Workspace). It's easy to use and navigate. Its search functions are helpful.

Cons

On the negative side, it has limited customization options. It also has occasional syncing issues when using it with other devices.

### "Versatile, free and very powerful"

July 31, 2021

5.0

I love it. I use it all the time and have both my personal and business contacts on it. I have never lost a contact or had a corrupted contact card. It is very stable and super easy to use.

Pros

I love the fact that as long as I know my gmail password I can have access to my contacts on any device. I can set this up on multiple phones / tablets etc. I can access it on firefox, google chrome samsung internet and safari. It is available in google drive and will update all devices attached as long as synced with net. There are a lot of fields of information that you can customize giving you a very comprehensive contact profile. You can save their location to this too and this automatically syncs with google maps. When you open up their profile you know what platform they can be reached on (eg whatsapp, signal etc) and you can contact them directly through the app. Additionally you can migrate the contact to another gmail account as I have done without having to re type everything in. There are many apps that will access the data here without glitches, I guess they make it compatible. It is unbelievably easy to use, does not need training, self explanatory and FREE. It is stable.

Cons

Actually I have not found any issued with the app. I have stopped using all other contact apps and only use this one now, for personal and for business. The only thing I don't like is there appears to be no actual app that can be downloaded onto MAC therefore I always have to have internet to access it on Mac and must do so through firefox, chrome etc.

### "Great Software for Organizing Contacts"

October 19, 2022

4.0

Using Google Contacts for organizing my contacts is a great choice. I can categorize and label my contacts into personal and work. Management of the data is also a breeze action. I just wish that the privacy settings can be changed easily on however the user wants to.

Pros

I really like the sleek and simple interface of Google Contacts. It easy to use and navigate into. Integrating the software with Gmail is so useful and saves time since you can send emails to a group of people.

Cons

I am not quite sure about the privacy of the software. The functions and options regarding the privacy and confidential settings of the software is kinda hidden and you need to go deep into the settings to change it.

### "Get the best Contact Management tool."

February 9, 2022

4.0

Awesome!! As I can save contacts without having any problems anywhere, and keeping them safe and saved over a database.

Pros

Adding additional information like birthdays, company and the post they hold there, with additional options like mail, address are so good and they even don't charge.

Cons

Sometimes even if you save your contacts here, in case your phone gets formatted most of contacts are recovered. Still many contacts of mine were lost.

### "Nice way of Managing contacts"

June 1, 2024

5.0

Pros

I love that it helps me create contact groups and include specific contacts within each group though these contacts may overlap. I love the way I can export to excel and ultimately the way I can send an email to all of the contacts within each group by simply selecting the group name

Cons

Maybe the look and feel and the navigation can improve a little bit

### "Use Google Contacts and save your contacts forever"

July 20, 2022

5.0

The integration of Google Apps and extensions has been always excellent and perfect for someone like me who works as an accountant and has daily contact with clients. Adding Google Contacts has made many tasks easier for me. Everything is ready in one click. See all contacts with phone numbers and two email addresses. So I highly recommend Google Contacts.

Pros

Storing your contacts in one place and restoring them at any time is one of the most prominent features of Google Contacts, plus there is no fear of losing contacts on your phone, whether the phone is lost or broken, you can download all your contacts in one click. Google Contacts is an easy-to-use and reliable tool that integrates perfectly with Gmail. With Google Contacts you can create personal mailing lists, which saves you a lot of time and effort. All of these features have made Google Contacts indispensable, both in my job and in my personal life.

Cons

I have been using google contacts for more than 4 years and never had any real problem with google contacts; I hope sync will be improved by doing it manually so that I can control sync when I want and on the device I want; I am very satisfied with google contacts. I highly recommend it.

### "Google Contacts made my rolodex and address books obsolete."

August 5, 2021

5.0

I am very impressed with the amount of information you can put into a Google contact. Everything you need to remember who that person is or to be reminded of birthdays and anniversaries, spouses and children and more. My little black book was nothing compared to Google contacts.

Pros

The contacts I add are synchronized with my phone. I can sort them by first name or last name, and that is in alphabetical order. I can put in any information and details in 1 contact. Anything you can think you might need, there is more room to add.

Cons

If I am not connected to WiFi when putting a contact in my phone or Contacts, the new additions won't synchronize in. There is no manual way to get them to synchronize the new additions in. So I have to remove it and put it back in making sure I am connected to WiFi first. It would be nice to have synchronize button or have it auto synchronize like Google Calendar does.

Reason for choosing Google Contacts

It was offered by Google and I decided to try it. One of the best decisions I ever made.

February 11, 2022

5.0

Absolutely great! Can't complain!

Pros

I like that I am able to have all my contacts in one spot. I like that I do not have to toggle apps when looking for an sending information to coworkers. I also love that when you put a contact in it automatically saves to your goggle account so I can find my information on different devices.

Cons

I haven't found anything that I do not like about this product. It has helped me and made my life a lot easier.

### "Google Contacts : An excellent contact management system"

August 14, 2023

4.0

Google Contacts is an all-in-one solution for managing contacts that syncs and backups contacts in seconds across any device.

Pros

Google Contacts is the most effective contact sharing and management tool I've found, and it's completely free to use. All of my contact details, including email addresses and phone numbers, is consolidated on this particular tool and can be readily retrieved from any additional tool or software that is linked to it.

Cons

There is really absolutely nothing I dislike about this tool because it consistently performs many of its intended features with out any issues, certainly in my experience of by using it over quite some time.

### "Review on Google Contacts"

March 18, 2023

5.0

It offers a range of features, including advanced search and filtering, contact synchronization, and smart suggestions for managing and organizing contacts. However, i find the platform to be limited in terms of customization and offline functionality, Overall, Google Contacts is a solid choice for individuals and businesses looking for a reliable and easy-to-use contact management solution.

Pros

Google Contacts allows me to easily share contacts with my friends and colleagues, making it easy to collaborate and share information with team members.Google Contacts automatically synchronizes with other devices of mine or the devices where in my google account is logged in.

Cons

While Google Contacts integrates seamlessly with other Google services, such as Gmail and Google Calendar, it may not integrate as well with other third-party tools and platforms, which is a big concern for me as i rely on a range of different tools for my daily work.

### "Google Contacts.. Never lose a contact."

May 10, 2021

5.0

I have been using Google Contacts for more than 9 years, and it has become a part of my personal, work and social life. With Google contacts, now I being a care less person, don't have to search for and write each contact whenever I get my phone lost or broken.

Pros

The biggest quality of Google contacts is that it backs up your entire contact list along with all the individual details to your Gmail Id, which makes it easy to access your contacts anywhere and on any device just by syncing that device with your Gmail. Unlike traditional address books, it gives you the freedom to add as many contact numbers, addresses and email IDs to a single contact, and assign labels to them. Also importing and exporting contacts to other platforms is very easy with it.

Cons

Often when you login your Gmail on another android device, it automatically syncs/ download your contacts to that device without asking/ alerting about that specifically.
