A truly extremely useful address book/ contact list all in one. Its the address book that Apple should adopt into their OS.
I no longer use the Apple address book which is no match for Cobook and all its features. The pull down menu is a real gem.
It simply works..

I like how it handles contact info, but since it doesn't include any printing (to envelopes, lists etc) functionality nor Groups, I had to revert back to Address Book.

I´ve never really needed the print option regarding my address book but this could of course be an issue. However I notice that people are complaining about no group function.

Are you not overlooking the Tag function? To me it works precisely as the group function in Address Book just faster. I´ve yet to find a way of "smart" tagging but that is for the time being no real issue to me.

At last, I was hoping someone would develop this kind of app. Neither iCal or Address Book are much good in their recent incarnations. As far as iCal’s concerned, that’s ok, as we have Busycal and Fantastical which take us away from iCal but keep us within the Apple ‘ecosystem’. We never really had the same sort of simple alternative with the Lion version of Address Book. Until now. At last, I can instantly access and edit my contacts from the Menu Bar in a similar way to Fantastical and start forgetting about the Address Book app.

It’s just Beta at the moment and there are some things that need to be ironed out (the most obvious ones being the ability to group your contacts and better viewing options) but that’s ok for the time being, and if it stops working for some reason, your data will still be there as it automatically syncs with Address Book.

Recommended, for sure.

Cool little app. I am not totally enamored of the UI behavior; I would like to be able to either [1] adjust (increase) the delay before the full address card pops out from the list, or [2] be able to pop the card out from the list with a mouse-click instead of that replacing the list with the full card.

For my purposes, CoBook has become a lot more valuable since it has acquired phone-dialing capacity (via Dialectic or FaceTime). For some reason, Apple has never gotten the point about this feature: if you use Address Book to store your phone numbers, shouldn’t you also be able to use it to dial your numbers? CoBook is a very useful substitute for this lack. (Note: if you want to use this feature on a Mac running Lion you can’t use Apple’s own USB modem, since its driver is 32-bit only, but you can pick up a third-party one cheaply). My only complaint is that the claim on the MU page “ It synchronizes with Mac OS X Address Book and other devices via iCloud“ remains as misleading as ever, since it wrongly gives the impression that CoBook is an iCloud client. I think a disclaimer should be added to the product description. In fact, a iCloud client for contacts is greatly needed for those of us who have Macs that can’t be upgraded to Lion or who depend on software that runs by Rosetta. At the moment, the only available one is SOHO Organizer, which is outrageously expensive and, i. m. h. o., has a very clunky interface because it tries to be too many things at once. If the developer could turn CoBook into a genuine iCloud client, he would transform a very good program into a great one, which many many people would find indispensible.

Love Cobook.

BTW will this stay free on initial release?

Apparently it will be sold on MAS. The developers have put a lot of thought and work into this app to give away. I'll be glad to pay a reasonable fee for CoBook.

I started using Cobook about five weeks ago. I've been delighted with it. It took a bit (not much) of getting used to. Now I'd struggle to do without it. My outstanding request was to enable me to use it to dial phone numbers with Phone Valet. I've now discovered that I can do this via Dialectic. Great product and looking forward to seeing where it goes next. For some reason, I can't award 5 stars for value and stability. I would.

I love this app. I used to just HATE using address book until this came out. I used to sync all with Google but this is working so well that I gave up Google contacts and now use iCloud for this app to work. Eliminates all the double names I used to get. For me this is a must have app now. A BIG THANX for this app!!!

Very interesting application indeed, but I am afraid that it conflicts mortally with LaunchBar. At least, on my iMac LB crashes. Not completely sure, but the developer should check it.

Something like "service error"?
