Contacts + 1.3.0.0
Those who find the built-in capabilities of Windows Phone not enough for their needs can try one of the specialized tools that were made for this purpose and Contacts + is one such app.
Friendly and easy to use front-end
This utility comes with a rather simple and intuitive layout that makes it a breeze to operate all the functions of the application. The graphics are discreet yet well made, so there is nothing too flashy about the looks of this app. For those who need to see the names and numbers in a larger or smaller font, this can be mended from the "Settings" menu.
Moving through the list of contacts or switching the details screens for any of the selected entries has a very smooth feel to it, with no delays in loading the information. Some occasional prompts to rate the app will appear after a few uses.
Efficient name search and detailed info about each contact
Contacts + has a dedicated feature for finding the persons you want to get in touch with and the queries can be carried out only by contact name. The automatic search-as-you-type functionality comes into effect after two letters are pressed, while the manual search will only need a single character.
Depending on the data stored for each of the contacts in your phone book, this application will create additional sections inside the screen where the detailed info is presented. Thus, you can view at a glance the assigned numbers, addresses and emails.
Quick call and SMS features, with a special layout for left-handed users
When inside the details screen for a highlighted contact, you will have at hand two buttons, one for placing a call and the other for sending an SMS to that person.
There is a particularity of this application that makes it stand out from the rest, namely the inclusion of an option for left-handed people, which, when activated, will place the above mentioned commands in the left side of the screen for quick access.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The looks of this utility are less impressive and only the well organized layout and smooth navigation earn some good points, alongside the clean graphics in the contact details area. |
Function7
The quick search and the ability to display the detailed information for contacts that have extra details assigned are the major pluses, that are completed by the left-handed function. On the downside, there is the lack of contact sharing or sorting options, to name a few shortcomings. |
Security10
The utility needs access only to the system areas that are vital for its functioning, namely the phone dialer and contacts area. |
Battery7
With an energy consumption that goes above average at times, the application maintains the battery usage at moderate to high levels. |
Price9
A quite valuable tool to have, Contacts + only needs some improvements on functionality to make it able to compete with top similar utilities. |
Compatibility9
Ready to function on most Windows Phone devices out there, the app only requires version 7.5 or above of the operating system. |
