Review: CopyTrans Contacts frees your iOS contacts from your small screen |
December 01, 2012
Your iPhone contact manager is great for simply tapping a name to initiate a call or message. But when you want to actually manage those contacts beyond just adding a name or phone number, the iPhone's or iPad's relatively small screen and lack of a keyboard can be very limiting. That's where CopyTrans Contacts comes in: This $2 PC application lets you edit and manage your iOS contacts using the comfy keyboard and spacious screen of your Windows computer.
Simply install CopyTrans Contacts on your PC and connect your iOS device via USB; the application automatically recognizes the device and loads the contact list for you. You can select individual contacts for editing, adding plenty of details along the way, such as their birthday and anniversary, their relatives, and various addresses. Sure, you can add a lot of these details on your iOS device, too, but doing so on a big screen is just easier.
Luckily, though CopyTrans Contacts lets you do more than edit your contact list—and it has to in order to justify its $10 price tag. Two dollars may not sound like a lot of money, but in a world where so many applications are free, paid software has to prove its worth. CopyTrans Contacts does that by allowing you to back up your contacts directly to your PC, away from Apple's iCloud. Nothing against Apple's cloud services—I use and like them myself—but I like the ease and security of having my contacts backed up in a location I control.
CopyTrans Contact's interface may not be gorgeous, but it's easy to understand—and when you're backing up your iOS contacts, that's more important.
