Latest reviews of Email Contacts app for iPhone and iPad
Does everything it says then some. Excellent for backing up your contacts including calendar events.
Very Good app. Simple. Pulled all my 1450 contacts out of an iPhone that was not even properly displaying them. Similar app "My Contacts Backup" did not work will multiple tries. This app, "Email Contacts" worked on the first try. PLUS Email Contacts also sends a CVS file which for those with Excel is an easy file to quickly view to make sure all the contacts ate there. An aside: You would not / cannot generally use this CVS format to import/export to iOS device, but it is easier to quickly "see" the contents in table form than VCF format is (especially if you have alot of contacts). Also has options for file formats that will synch via iTunes. One important highlight, which seems to apply either to all these programs (or maybe it is the limit of the VCF format), is that the extra feilds in your iPhone/iPad contacts like the "notes" field that you can add, do NOT backup with these apps in either CVS or VCF formats. I thought I had 100% success when I successfully backed up, emailed, then imported the VCF into iCloud (which was empty at the time). All 1450 contacts appeared, but there are no "note" fields in any of these contacts. I checked the CVS file - smae thing. So if you use these extra feilds ("notes", "prefix", "job title", any of the add field options) beware... these are not getting backed up.
