E-Z Contact Book helps you keep track of phone numbers, addresses, email, birthdays, and more for all of your friends, family members, and coworkers. With helpful organizational options, as well as a few handy perks, this app helps you stay organized and on top of things.
Pros
Quick access: Just like any contact or address book app, this one stores phone numbers, addresses, and other information that you choose to enter for each of your contacts. But it contains a few nice perks as well. For instance, with just a click, you can go straight to Google Maps from a contact entry to view their location and get directions. You can also initiate a Skype call right from the contact info page as long as you already have Skype set up on your computer.
Importing and organizing: While you can input any contacts and other information into this app manually, there are also some import options available that will streamline the process for you. Supported import formats include Outlook, CSV files, Google CSV files, vCard files, and database backups. You can also organize your contacts into groups including Business, Family, Friends, and you can create your own categories as well.
Cons
Inconsistent forms: While the software gives you Business, Family, and Friends options by default, the form for adding a new contact does not contain all of these options. That can make it a little confusing when you're assigning contacts to different groups and want to make sure they wind up in the right place.
Bottom Line
E-Z Contact Book gives you a good set of tools for keeping track of contact information for all of your friends, family, acquaintances, and coworkers. It provides all of the basic features you'd expect from an app of this type, along with a few handy additions like the links to Google Maps and Skype that increase functionality make your life easier.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of E-Z Contact Book 3.1.5.40.
