Contact Mover & Account Sync Reviews

by Fr1endz4evr

First thing you see when opening app is that it won’t allow you to move/sync more than a handful contacts. Then you go to groups and see it won’t even tell you the source of each account, not at all as user friendly as groups shown within the contacts app. It is possible to pick what contacts to move, even though it’s not obvious first. It allows you to move, copy one way, and sync two ways. I wish there was an option to delete contacts from a group too. Please change the way you present the groups, what is exchange1, 2, 3, 4...?

Somehow in college when I added my Exchange Email as a second Email Account in addition to my iCloud Mail Account, every time I had created a New Contact after that for 4 years they were all being saved to an Exchange Mail Contacts Group. Therefore when my college email expired 1.5 years after graduating, if I were to delete the mail account, it would delete all these contacts and since iTunes has been long gone for years I couldn’t find an easier option than air dropping 1 contact at a time from the Exchange group on my iPad to my MacBook Pro, that is until I finally found ContactMoverAccountSync. I was able to sync all my Exchange Group Contacts into the existing iCloud group Contacts to merge into one group, then delete the Exchange Mail Account without losing any data!!

A recent article in the NYT recommended consolidating all contacts to a single source, like Gmail. The problem for those of us that travel overseas is that some countries block google products and sometimes the internet just doesn’t work well.
I have found that I can ContactMoverAccountSync is the fastest and most effective way to keep my iCloud and google databases (6000+ contacts) up to date and synchronized.
Worth every cent.

My recommendation: don’t sync back and forth between two different sources, but sync from one source to the other. I create and maintain my contacts on my iCloud account and sync these to my Exchange account - this works best. I ran into some issues when I was syncing when maintaining on Exchange and iCloud, so now I only update/add on iCloud and sync to Exchange and have no issues.

I’ve struggled with syncing my work Outlook/Office365 contacts with iCloud (and ultimately from iPhone to MacBook) forever, but after being forced to upgrade to Office 2016 a couple months ago I’ve had zero luck. I downloaded ContactMoverAccountSync, selected my accounts and everything was synced within 10 seconds. Don’t have to think twice about it anymore, exactly what I was hoping for.

I rarely write reviews, but I had to share how easy and great ContactMoverAccountSync is! Years ago I had imported my android/gmail contacts via the exchange server as a work around for some issue that happened at the time. Fast forward to today, I couldn’t figure out why none of my iCloud contact on my computer had any of the contacts I’ve added in the last five years on my phone...then I remembered what I had done. I searched for a solution to sync them and came across ContactMoverAccountSync. I was skeptical but it worked perfectly! Very very easy and didn’t lose any data (pics, birthdays, etc) in the process! Recommend it!

I have an iPhone and MacBook Pro. Love using iMessage on MacBook, but I couldn’t find a way to get the exchange contacts from my phone onto my Mac. Seems like it would be simple, but it was not until I found ContactMoverAccountSync. The $3 or whatever a year to sync up the contacts is so worth it. I just do the one way sync from exchange to iCloud on my phone through ContactMoverAccountSync , and then BAM, they are on my MacBook as well. Magic.

After many years of struggling to sync my Daylite CardDav contact book with iCloud, ContactMoverAccountSync has come to the rescue. It works beautifully. All fields, including photos sync properly. There’s also an auto sync feature which makes maintaining a clean contact book virtually effortless. Very grateful to the developer for making ContactMoverAccountSync!

But I had been searching for a solution for why my contacts on my iPhone weren't syncing with iCloud, and therefore on my iMessages app on my computer. After some research I learned many of my contacts were created under my outlook account (who knows why...), which is incompatible with iCloud. ContactMoverAccountSync is the quickest and simplest solution. Completely worth the $3.99 add on to get all your contacts synced at once.

I think $3.99 is pricey for the limited function of ContactMoverAccountSync, but I didn’t want to spend time researching cheaper options. For my money though, it did exactly what it’s supposed to do within a few minutes and was super easy to use. I had left a corporate job, but still had exchange on my phone, this picked up all my contacts and moved them to iCloud and google for me.

I don’t ever review anything but ContactMoverAccountSync has made cleaning up and syncing my contacts across platforms so easy. I went to an iCloud only mode at my last job so I could have everything across my Mac, iPhone and iPad. With my née job I need my contacts in Google to create mailing lists so I just open ContactMoverAccountSync and 2 mins later they sync over. Boom! Awesome stuff!!

For reasons that are beyond my technical knowledge, I was struggling to sync my exchange contacts from my prior job with any other system. They were on my phone, but I could not upload or transfer them anywhere else. IT professionals were stumped, too. ContactMoverAccountSync did it in a matter of seconds. It was easy and no issues. I am so grateful and happy for ContactMoverAccountSync. Thank you very much!

I had an old Exchange account through college that I couldn’t access but somehow the contacts were still loaded on there and I wanted to transfer them to my iCloud so I could sync them to my other devices. Bought the 1-year premium deal and everything finished in under 30 seconds, with all of my contacts on all of my devices. ContactMoverAccountSync was 100% worth it and I couldn’t have been happier!

I’m about to leave a job for which I’ve used exchange on my iPhone for years. Like so many others, I just discovered that all the contacts I’ve collected over the years are in my exchange account, not on my phone, so when I delete exchange I would lose them all! (Thanks Apple, just brilliant design!) Thought I’d give ContactMoverAccountSync a try, and it effortlessly solved the problem in seconds by copying to and updating my iPhone contacts from the exchange contacts. Seriously, ridiculously easy to use.

by NY Gambit

Why couldn’t Apple just make it this simple? Upgraded my phone only to find out that for over a year whenever I added a contact to my phone it was hooking up to my job’s Exchange account (not my iCloud). Moved on to a new job and was gonna lose those contacts. Installed ContactMoverAccountSync on my old phone and was able to select the contacts I wanted and move them to iCloud. Such a life saver!
Had to make the in app purchase to allow for ALL my contacts to copy. But totally worth the $4.

This might be the first time I have written an app review but this brought me out of a panic state. I didn’t realize all of my contacts from the past 5 years were syncing to my college exchange account until I lost access to it about 1.5 years post graduation. Needless to say, all of my post graduation work contacts were seemingly lost with my exchange account. I went back to my old phone and was able to sync all of those exchange contacts with my iCloud account. A life saving app and well worth the $3.99. You will not be disappointed.

Thanks guys! I was going to have to do a whole lot of importing and exporting which sounded excruciating. For just a few dollars, I could merge all of my contacts very easily, quickly, and successfully. I like the prompts that prevented you from overriding things, and the back up features, very thoughtful! My only non-intuitive thing was that you had to sync directionally, so I thought I didn’t work at first, then I realize I had to sync one direction, and then another. Once I did this everything was great!

Rarely write reviews, and usually only negative ones, but this one is positive! It worked. Have used Exchange since Blackberry days (15 years ago) and had 1000s of contacts on the Exchange server. Been using iCloud for 10 years, and switching and duplicates are annoying, esp w all the new op systems and upgrades and new iPhone X. Finally got tired and decided to give merge a shot. And it worked! I merged and then turned off Exchange contacts in account settings and all my merged contacts are still here! From now on all contacts will iCloud and saved in iCloud- what lever that means.

I *NEVER* write app reviews but this saved my life. Started a new job and deleted my old exchange email off my iPhone and realized shortly thereafter for the last several years all new contacts were being auto saved to exchange. Logged back into exchange so they’d come back, downloaded ContactMoverAccountSync and did a quick 2-way sync, and within 5 seconds all contacts were in my iCloud and synced to all personal email accounts as a backup. Deleted exchange again and contacts were all still there. I’m in sales so those contacts are legit my livelihood. Worth the $3.99 for sure.

Thank goodness I found ContactMoverAccountSync! I have been racking my brain for three days on how to move all my contacts (325 total) from two Yahoo accounts, and two Gmail accounts to my iCloud account. I am computer savvy but was frustrated to find out that you can not move contacts between groups. I googled information for three days and finally found ContactMoverAccountSync. It took literally seconds to move my files. I love ContactMoverAccountSync and HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! Thank you for your product.
