I can't add contacts from my Gmail account to a group, and a support article says there's no fix to this unless I recreate the contact locally.

Sorry, that's way too much work. The app looks really nice, but if I can't import my contacts, it's useless to me.

Just uninstalled.

Sorry that it didn't work out for you. I'll put more work into solving this problem, I'll have to come up with a seamless method of merging groups or moving contacts from one account to another.

The problem is described in a support article, as you said: https://fliple.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/182665-i...

Is that AwesomeMenu I see there? http://www.cocoacontrols.com/controls/quadcurvemenu

Nope, it's a modified version of ExpandableNavigation from Tobin Schwaiger (http://tob.in/post/15654557154/how-does-path-2-0s-iphone-app...). Which reminds me I forgot to credit him :(, thanks for asking.

It doesn't show all of my contacts, only the first 5-6.

Sorry about that, you should switch to "all accounts" in settings (see https://fliple.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/155508-i...). By default it only shows up contacts from the "default account" - lots of people were complaining about seeing duplicate contacts, when in fact they were seeing contacts from all their accounts and indeed they were duplicates.

It generally takes a lot for me to be really surprised & impressed with a new iPhone app, but this is a pretty incredible app. I've been spending an absurd amount of time on the phone with a lot of different people at work and this just inserts itself so perfectly into my workflow that I wish I wrote this app myself :) It has managed to dethrone the Phone app from my app tray, which is no easy task. Last app I moved…

Thanks for the feedback. If you have any problems or suggestions you can post them to the UserVoice site I've set up: http://fliple.uservoice.com Some of the features I've implemented lately have been suggested by users.

No support for cyrillic layout yet? Except for that, I love it!

I've looked into it and at the moment I'm still in doubt about localizing in cyrillic/arabic/chinese/japanese. If I do it, it will have to be a complete implementation, along with T9 filtering, wich frankly scares me because of the vast amount of information I'll have to digest to make it work properly.
