I like this program, but lately without any reason every time when I open it - it disappears . It's flashing for a second and it's gone.
I need help.

Isn't it great, once in a while, after trawling through scads of tedious software on MacUpdate, to come across someting actually useful for a change?
Thanks dev, keep up the good work. I'll be watching this one closely.

I only wish the app would give me a choice to open my Entourage address book but alas it doesn't support Entourage at this time.

For future versions I would like to see a Spotlight-like search interface instead of the search inspector and that it is possible to print envelopes or labels from an opened contact instead of printing all contact information as a table.
Great work! Many Thanks!

It does what it claim to do.
Personally I don't like the fact that when you select a contact, it open the contact's window in the bottom left part of your screen; I would like to have the possibility to customize where to open the contact's windows.
Very cool the possibility to have the contact's windows in HUD style.

Great tool......
it's quick, small, and flexible. I like that I can adjust # of recent contacts, turn off the alphabetical list or groups, and change sort by dispay order.
Very useful that I can launch AB from the menu. Recent contacts are very useful, something AB doesn't have.
Bonus: I can make a new contact from the menu, and edit contacts without opening AB.
Everything works with or without AB launched!
WANTS: to be able to adjust the location of the menu item, not critical, but I prefer it closer to the calender, or at least further from the HELP menu in apps that have lots of menus. (menu meters, a 3rd party app can do this, even though many 3rd party cannot.)
(I can't speak about stability - only used it now for 10 minutes)
