MUCH LIKE EMAIL, we don’t really have any major alternatives to the humble contact book.
Devices have changed, new modes of communication have been created yet we still rely on the tried and trusted phone and mobile numbers to keep everything together.
You shouldn’t settle for the standard address books that come with every phone. There are better alternatives out there that will serve you well. Here are a few to choose from.
Contacts+
For: iOS, Android
Cost: Free
Probably one of the most diverse and powerful contacts apps out there, yet manages to be easy to use.
Automatic sorting of contacts, protecting against spam calls, backup and integrating services like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn into your contacts, it’s a versatile service. There is also an in-browser service allowing you to look at profile pages within the app itself.
Onyu
For: Windows Phone
Cost: Free
A new app that’s both bright and colourful. The main draw of Onyu is that all information saved on it is encrypted meaning even the developers can’t get access to them.
Connect
For: iOS
Cost: Free
Effectively a contact manager, Connect is handy if you want a simplified, no-fuss approach to your contacts book. Easy to use, straightforward and the ability to send group messages makes it worth a look.
PureContact
For: Android
Cost: Free
Following in the same footsteps as Connect, PureContact aims to simplify your address book but prioritises a few different things like most recent contacts and swipe gestures. It’s light on features, but what it does is solid.
Fullcontact
For: iOS
Cost: Free
Designed for those who are more business orientated, FullContact brings together all of your contacts, gathers all social profile info and photos about them and brings them together into the one app.
It also syncs across Gmail so you keep everything up to date.
Sync.ME
For: iOS, Android
Cost: Free
Sync.ME focuses mostly on calls instead of messaging, allowing you to identify unknown calls from anywhere in the world and protect you from scam calls or telemarketers.

Heard his father being interviewed. He sounds like a broken man. Hopefully he will finally get justice for his son
Jesus what a horrible death…if someone done that to my brother or son I would hunt them down. I hope that poor man gets justice for his son.
My heart goes out to his family. Such a terrible and inhumane thing to happen to his son. I hope they find who did this because what they did is not normal..I hope the family get through this terrible time and remember all the good times with their beloved son. xxx
Parasites

This really is the week of murderers putting their victims into bins. Such a tragedy in both cases. So sad to think about their suffering. Hopefully their souls’ journies meet with happier moments. Condolences to the families of Mark
