BdContacts for Mac1.320

If I have to fear that my desktop will look like the screen shot, then I won't use the software. Ugly++ - no thanks!

I keep wanting to use this app, but cannot get over the confusing--and not very pretty--interface. For those who like all the bells and whistles and don't mind the ugliness, the price is pretty good. But I'll take a pass.

I tried and did not care for the interface. But, at only $20, it is well worth it if you like the user interface.

For a long time I was searching for a contact management app that suited all my needs. All the hours I spend with searching, installing, evaluating and de-installing. They were all to basic or to expensive. Sure, there are also open source CRM-apps, but they are to hard to understand and to heavy duty for my needs. But now I found what I was looking for! This developer had us in mind! This app offers me basically all the functionality I need. It has a well thought and an easy to understand usability and is fun to work with. Especially I appreciate the Video Help. It's a great walk-through.

DB Contacts looks fabulous! I think it's what I've been searching for, and I've tried lots of demos. Bottom line is, it's simple, doesn't get in the way, doesn't mess up AddressBook and iCal (so syncing with my Palm is still a happy thing), and I don't need to find a consultant to try and help me figure out how to use it. Given what else I've seen, $50 is a real bargain.

I must preface my comment that I normally don't care what people write about software programs and this is the first time that I was so moved to write a response to GNWAUGH comments on BD Contacts and I am amazed that I have such a different response to his blatant ignorance or lack of respect for an amazing contact management software application. It appears that he has confused this program for QuickSliver (powerful and complex) which is an application to assist in automation of repetitive events for example launching a program. BD Contacts is a very simple to use and the way it enhances Apple's Address book is worth every penny if you are as anal as I am and love to stay in touch with your friends and business associates. My favorite features are Dialing my phone number directly using Skype, Adding groups, sorting my data any way that I can think of, addressing emails, excellent searching features and a sophisticated note and alarm system. I have been a salesman for ever and this program is worth every penny. I recommend this program to anyone that uses Apple's Address book. I know that I can't use Address Book without BD Contact.

Ridiculous price for such a simple product (no, it's not a typo - same price is on his web site). Even more OTT given that at least some of the functionality can be had from the likes of Quicksilver for free.... At $10 it would be worth downloading to try. At $50, I don't really care whether it's any good or not, sorry....

50 Dollars sounds like rip-off to me...
