Contact Find Update 1.0.1

The update for Contact Find is out. Unfortunately I still receive reports about crashes from a few customers but it resolved the problem for others. I started a beta programm to test the new version before I upload it to Apple. In case bought the application and experience the crash yourself please let me know. So far tt looks like it happens for contacts which have been synchronized via Exchange server from Windows.

Contact Find crashes (sometimes)

Update: Finally fixed in version 1.0.13




I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I get a few reports that my new Contact Find application crashes on some iPhones in the startup phase. A new version (1.0.1) which fixes the bug has already been submitted to the Apple App Store and should be available soon.

What caused the problem? The application crashes if there are special characters (quotes, double quotes, new lines, tabulators) in an email or phone field of a contact (all other fields including notes are fine). Actually these characters don't belong in these fields but they might have been imported from your desktop address book.

New: Contact Find in the iPhone App Store

Contact Find adds the missing full search to the contacts in your address book. Don't just search for first and last names, but find your contacts by their phone number, area code, email address, city, street and so on. This includes full text search in the notes field of each contact.

You can get Contact Find from the Apple App Store.

Planned Features:

• Faster startup
