Comments on Fossify Contacts for Android

★★★★☆ B · Jun 9, 2026

I'd really like the alphabet to be on the LEFT side, and lined up so that the first contact with that letter and the letter itself are side by side-see the Google Contacts app. Not bad though, would like more icon color choices like being able to click the color of the person inside the green square (so it looks similar to other contact apps.) Great start.

Has never handed out my contacts without my permission once. That's fantastic, & about all I want from a black book app. Does everything others do & beyond. I think the best ossify makes. Google not to be forgotten as the most passive-aggressive thing on a planet, has finally after a year figured out how to glitch it out with JavaScript. They're butt hurt that they haven't had a single contact of mine for a year they couldn't take it no longer, emptied n won't allow restore from backup.

When I have a message I want to forward to a GROUP and use Ossify Contacts to find the group from WITHIN the message app . Eg I select a message for forwarding and then try to forward it to a group using ossify contacts to locate the group . Ossify contacts shows all contacts EXCEPT groups

Really poor app. It's pretending to be something it isn't. Categories are all empty on one of 2 my main accounts - I tried to set this up in a number of different ways but always got stuck at only one account fully syncing with categories. Accounts in the filter section are duplicated. I'd also expect to be able to omit certain accounts from being read. Filter options need to be on the screen not hidden in a menu. 2 emails for help went ignored. Will find another app that's better

It was good but for few weeks it stopped working properly, and it says it saved contact numbers, but it actually didn't, so I lost so many important numbers 😓😓

Trust & Safety: The app emphasizes privacy and open-source transparency. It requests permissions such as READ_CONTACTS, WRITE_CONTACTS, GET_ACCOUNTS, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, and other system-level permissions. Given its privacy-first positioning and accessible open-source code, users can review data handling and integration practices, though the breadth of permissions warrants careful review in context of usage.
