BigContacts 1.3.1.0
BigContacts is the application you might become friends with after taking it for a spin, as it offers all of the above and some other features you can discover in a few moments.
Simple and functional interface, lacking visually appealing graphics
At first glance, this utility doesn't seem impressive, as it has a rather dull look and a minimalistic layout that is clearly focused on practicality rather than attractiveness.
Going a bit deeper inside you will come across some really large tiles that are meant to facilitate the access to the main functions available from each contact's area. On the positive side, there is the seamless navigation through the list of contacts and the lack of any kind of nuisances, which is quite rare to come by.
Smart search engine and built-in dialer
One of the best functions offered by BigContacts is the ability to perform virtually instant queries, more precisely the utility will start filtering the results with every letter you type in. Another plus strictly related to this feature is the fact that the search will begin with the first letter you type in the corresponding field.
Ready at hand and easy to bring up no matter the section of the app you are in, the dialer component can be very useful whenever you want to call somebody who is not listed in your phone book.
Get in touch with contacts with one tap
BigContacts has some extra features to bring at your fingertips and you will be able to reveal them once you make a selection from the list of results. Thus, by accessing any of the listed contacts you will have the possibility to send them an SMS or call them by pressing the large buttons corresponding to each of these functions.
Unfortunately, the details for the contacts are scarce, so except for the name, you will not be able to see the phone number of have it copied automatically to the clipboard to share it or use it otherwise.

Bottom Line
Design / UI5
The general aspect of this app certainly needs improvement, as it not enough to display some large buttons or a bigger font for the contacts. |
Function8
There are many useful features packed inside BigContacts, but it still needs to show the phone numbers for all the contacts and allow users to search by numbers as well. |
Security8
The utility seeks access in some sensitive areas of the system, some with good reason, but for others without an obvious relation to the functionality. |
Battery8
BigContacts uses a fairly reduced amount of power to function properly, so the battery usage remains well within moderate levels. |
Price9
For those who do not mind the fact that hey cannot see the phone numbers for their contacts directly from this application, this could be one of the best contact managing solutions to have. |
Compatibility9
Prepared to be installed on the vast majority of Windows Phone devices on the market, this tool will run on handsets powered by at least version 7.5 of the OS. |
