Smartr Contacts is a product of application developer Xobni. It is a powerful iPhone contact. It can be said that Smartr Contacts is a real all-in-one social network App and contact. Smartr Contacts can work with different social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Profiles and other information can be imported to user’s Smartr Contacts automatically. Smartr Contacts provides the function of calculating the frequency of communication between user and contacts.

In history page, Smartr Contacts shows the communications between user and contact. In common page, user can see who you have in common with everyone.

Comparison and contrast between Smartr Contacts and our App:

Provide statistics of the frequency of communication between user and contacts.
Connect with user’s other social networks.
All in one app.
Download information from multiple social networks.

Smartr Contacts will import the contacts of user’s social networks into user’s Smartr Contacts. Smartr Contacts may generate a too big contacts, if there are two much friends in user’s social networks. Unfortunately, the Smartr Contacts do not have ranking and group function. It will be a hard job to find a right person from hundreds contacts.
Our App does not import contacts from user’s social networks. The size of user’s contact will be maintained. Our App provides ranking function which is based on the statistics of the communication frequency. The contract who you contact frequently can be ranked in priority.

MyPhone+ is an all-in-one phone dialer. Under normal circumstances, iPhone users have to add the profile pictures of contacts into their phone contact themselves.
