I am desperate for a good contacts solution

Your page does nothing to focus on my pain or tell me how you can fix it

I (and I am guessing My pain is pretty common) want

1. The same contact list on my email, Skype, mobile 2. That's it

Tell me how you solve that - iPhone and android integration, outlook and gmail will capture what 75% of the market?

I will leap through fire if you can then give me reports on who I talked to, who I skyped and rang and emailed Nd for how long.

But really I do not know what you do, what of my problems you solve and how you do it - even after glancing at the how page.

Sorry for the Downer but there is a big market out there with pretty simple requirements.

Hi lifeisstillgood,

We obviously haven't made it clear enough on our site.

1. I would need to know a bit more about your setup - but if you are on a Mac, we have integration with your email, the Skype app and syncing to iPhone/Android.

If you are on Windows, then it's a bit more complicated and depends on what you use.

Drop me an email at hi@useadd.com if you want with your setup and I'll see if it will work, now or in the future.

Regards

> We obviously haven't made it clear enough on our site. I was just letting you know. :-) Just a small point but your site stuck me as making fatal marketing mistake #1 - it was talking about you not about me.

not Mac, FreeBSD. But thinking of moving to Ubuntu for simplicity.

You should be able to get your contacts into Evolution or any other software that supports CardDAV. We will try and get some instructions up this week - check back on http://useadd.com/guides/connect later

Thank you for the comments, really appreciated.
