Comments on Fossify Contacts for Android

★★★★☆ Joseph · Apr 30, 2026

An inconvenient feature is that if you rename one of your contacts, the new contact name is saved as a duplicate contact with a new name, rather than overwriting the existing contact. Also choosing whether to save a contact to your SIM or phone can duplicate contacts. Fixing these would make the app 5 stars. I really like the app inspire of those inconvenient features.

★★★★☆ 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.

★★★★★ Sheril Westbrooks · Jan 30, 2026

Like it, it's just. I use Google phone because it came on phone, along with it. Because it has voicemail. For some reason when I hit view contacts from Google phone. It opens ossify contacts. However, it's glitched it only shows a single contact.

★★☆☆☆ Mahfuz · Jan 22, 2026

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 😓😓

★★☆☆☆ AdAmSki · May 21, 2026

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

★☆☆☆☆ Ranu · Feb 20, 2026

Hi, just now I lost all my contacts in Ossify Contacts. They were saved in the "phone" section under different saving options in Ossify. I had about 250 quite important contacts saved. Help me retrieve them somehow.

It requests permissions such as READ_CONTACTS, WRITE_CONTACTS, GET_ACCOUNTS, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, and other system-level permissions.
