Pros
FREE! like the multiple popup reminders.
Cons
Limited contact import format options.
Summary
Very good application that comes free of costs.
Great software for personal use.
EnateCNETNovember 10, 2010
Pros
I am happy with this software and that is still available for download. I used Kurlo software two years ago on my old Windows XP. Don?t know what took me so long to look for Kurlo software again. Works great on Windows 7.
Cons
No Cons. It is free !
Summary
I like this software because it works for my personal use. I used Kurlo software two years ago on my old Windows XP. Don?t know what took me so long to look for Kurlo software again. Works great on Windows 7. Imported all my contacts and did a user backed up. Wonderful Software. Thank You! I struggled for 2 years with the primitive Microsoft Works Word Processor for Windows 7 to print envelopes.
No keyboard support
DoubleDeckerBusOctober 20, 2010
Pros
Appears appealing, but ...
Cons
No keyboard support at all. Cannot even close a dialog box with the Esc key. Requires Java.
Summary
This program first appears promising, except it's a mouse-only operation. While there are 4 different ways of using the mouse to open a contact for editing, it won't even respond to the Enter key. And you cannot close a pop-up quickly with Esc. The fixed date format 02/03/2001 will mean you have to pause and think before knowing what date it really is (March 2 or February 3). That it requires Java is also a hassle to set up for portable operation. I am not wasting any more time on this program.
Best address book you'll ever need
eagle780September 30, 2009
Pros
Easy to use. Loads of features. Customizable in a hundred ways. Set up custom fields any way you want them although the default fields are excellent. Seriously don't see myself using any other address or contact book again. Even emails & prints.
Cons
Didn't come with a thousand dollar gift certificate. Only thing that could've made it better.
Summary
Nice for personal use on one computer, not portable.
aihrvJuly 22, 2009
Pros
Great "all-in-one" screen infos about a contact. Multiple categories for each contact. Spouse infos for couples, if you dont want to create a new contact for her(him).
Cons
No link between Organizations and People ! Unusable for professional use. Infos (Outlook) miss : post adr vs geo adr... E-mail calls local mail server, no way to another. Dont try to copy it between computers, install locations are fixed on each.
Summary
Simple and nice for home use, not for personal + professional use ; so multi-accounts is not really useful.
Great Software for Maintaining Family & Friends Info
PW197789January 10, 2009
Pros
UI is easy to use and nicely laid out, can easily see summary of family member information (spouse/children), ability to add custom date event fields (ex. "Graduation"), ease in creating subset address lists (ex. "Reunion 2009" or "Christmas Cards").
Cons
It would be nice to be able to keep a history (log) of recurring date events, such as visit dates to out of town relatives, etc. Otherwise, seems to totally meet my immediate needs.
Summary
sometimes free can be expensive
kannucOctober 29, 2008
Pros
okay for a free program
Cons
program won't allow you to just save a name and phone number, so you have to make up a phony address which could lead to problems later on if you don't remember its a phony
Summary
simple if you are looking just to store names
Excellent
xtoqAugust 7, 2008
Pros
Does exactly what it says it does, and does it well. It looks nice too, which is always a bonus. Plus its free!
Cons
1) The import field mapping is a little screwy; the default email address field is actually mapped to the ICQ field. TIP: If you're importing contacts, make sure the default email address in your CSV file is mapped to the ICQ field in Kurlo's file.
Summary
Perfect Portable Address Book!
gaftfreakApril 29, 2008
Pros
Wonderful little piece of ingunity. I installed on my flash drive (just under 5MB) and take it with me. Things I loved about this: -FREE, no strings -Small (under 5MB) -No BS (only the basics, but it's more than you'll ever need) -"Upcoming Events" You can have Kurlo display (and print) a list of upcoming birthdays/anniversaries. -PRINT!!! You can print out your info (and only choose the fields you want displayed) to make your own "emergency number" listing for the kids, or your own personal phonebook.
Cons
Summary
Wonderful!
