Too many address books fall into the trap of giving users a place to keep contact information without any options for using their information outside of that program. Handy Address Book solves that problem in an easy-to-use format. Although the interface is basic, the program includes some surprisingly useful extra features.

The program's interface is nothing fancy, but it's clean and quite intuitive. Buttons across the top give users access to the program's major functions, such as adding and editing contacts. The letters of the alphabet are displayed down the left side of the program, allowing users to quickly find contacts by last name. Each contact includes fields for the typical information, including addresses, phone numbers, and Internet contacts, as well as fields for personal information. What really sets Handy Address Book apart is its extra features. A map button allows users to quickly map their contacts' addresses, and users can set MapQuest, Google Maps, or Yahoo as their default map provider. Contacts can be organized into categories and quickly filtered. Users can easily print out their address book in a variety of formats, including mailing labels, as well as save contact information as a vCard. The program's built-in Help file provides thorough, well-written instructions for the program's features. Overall, despite the program's unassuming appearance, Handy Address Book is a powerful program for managing contact information.

Handy Address Book has a 60-use trial limitation. It installs desktop icons without asking but uninstalls cleanly. We recommend this program to all users.

Still satisfied after using for 10 years!
DoctorJavaDecember 20, 2015
Pros
It just works Custom Categories (Xmas list, family, etc.) Import/Export Label Printing Google Contacts sync Rocks!
Cons
Costs one week's lunch money
Summary
I have used HABook for 10 years, and this is my 3rd upgrade because I just go WIndows 10. I was considering using whatever was already bundled with the O/S, but once again I found the built in address/contact lists unusable. The HABook user interface looks a bit "old school", but it is intuitive and very efficient at organizing you mailing/email lists. The Google contact list sync is fantastic. I like having my contacts available in the cloud, but the Google tools are so cumbersome. HABook makes it easy to maintain you Google contacts without spending hours click, click, click, clicking. Thanks Beiley
It does not support Unicode Characters

Pros
It's easy-to-use and has many customizable features.
Cons
But the letters keep cracking when I save and reload it. And the font settings doesn't work properly with eastern languages either.
Summary
A useful program - especially the Google Sync!
luke631March 28, 2013
Pros
It has a better interface than Google Contacts, so I was able to enter my contact info easily; and when I got a new phone, I was able to sync the phone's contacts quickly - while on the road!
Cons
None come to mind.
Summary
I would recommend this to everyone - whether or not you use Google Sync. The booklet option is quite useful for a printed copy, and the sync option acts as both an online backup and easy data transfer to my phone. Well worth the price.
Versatile and effective Address Book
pastor4uSeptember 10, 2012
Pros
VERY easy to use, plenty types of information to store. Ideal to contact others via phone, email, labels. Will print labels, address lists, envelopes etc. Keeps records of calls made. Plenty of place for notes.
Cons
Have found no problems or cons at all.
Summary
I am a pastor and chaplain, and this is an excellent PIM address book program --the best one bar none I have found in 20 years for keeping in touch with people. Great for sales-people, teachers, etc. too. Holds first place for me.
Excellect Simple to use and foolproof!
boatman774August 7, 2012

Summary
I would recommend this to everyone. The price is fair and reasonable.
Great program that does all the basics.
zakuskasApril 4, 2012
Pros
easy to use. Accurate and reasonably priced.
Cons
Would love to be able to customize the address labels more. Such using a different font for the Company name from the one used for the address. Wouldn't mind being able to add a picture on the label as well.
Summary

CaytlenMarch 7, 2012
Pros
none wouldn't open for me
Cons
Wouldn't even open for me.
Summary
Very nice program. Exactly what I needed. Thanks
usabraat1February 23, 2012
Pros
Able to enter all the info for addresses and print them with many different types of address labels.
Cons
There were none.
Summary
Should work out for a very long time.
One of the best PIM address programs around
pastor4uJanuary 5, 2012
Pros
As a pastor I keep in touch with many church members, other ministers, and many businesses & organizations. This program is more than useful--almost like a part-time secretary. Makes calls, emails, labels, directories and more. Can't beat it for the price. Uses little RAM. Works very fast.
Cons
Would like a little more flexibility in labeling categories in the program itself. Also more formats for data export would be helpful.
Summary
Other PIM programs can cost $250 or more, (especially in ministry). They are more complex, often with sub-programs for financial spreadsheets, etc. But for fast & flexible contact with people in sales, management and ministry, this program is one of the best.
As a handyman myself I found this little app very handy
azrealNovember 7, 2011
Pros
No fuss, no bother; it does what it is supposed to and that is all anyone can ask.
Cons
I can think of nothing bad to say about the handy address book. I would recommend it to a friend; if I had one!
Summary
It's hard to get excited about an address book, but if I had to make an exception, the handy book would be the one that sent me over the top. I love it; it's just so handy.
