Cobook Review

by Steve Paris 0Comments

Apple’s simple Address Book app (redubbed Contacts in Mountain Lion) can store your contact details, upload them to iCloud, which syncs them to other devices--and that’s about it. But we hate having to launch it to see, edit, or create a contact. Cobook takes that pain away. Plus, you don’t have to re-enter or import existing contacts: Cobook makes full use of Address Book’s database, so anything you modify with Cobook is still available to your other devices using iCloud.

Plus, if you connect your Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn accounts, Cobook attempts to merge the information from them with your Address Book contacts. The process isn’t perfect--more often than not, Cobook won’t realize that James in your Address Book is the same James on Facebook and Twitter, so you end up having to manually make the connections.
