Bought extra icons and no ads

Still got the Ads, screen partially opens, eventually loads, seemed a good idea at the time.

Still slow

Not sure where these "amazing speedups" have occurred because the app seems just as slow as the previous version. I only have about 200 contacts over eight groups so I'm not exactly pushing it. A shame because the app had potential, but we need to see some REAL speed improvements to make this worthwhile. (I'm on a 3GS with 4.2.1).

3 out of 5 stars

GOOD

1) Looks good. Simple, uncluttered UI; easy to navigate.
2) Customisable group icons.
3) Smart groups - good idea!
4) Option to display contact photos or not.

BAD

1) The app is slow to start.
2) Tapping on any buttons results in a pause and delayed reaction before it is actioned.
3) The text in the main list view needs to automatically resize so that longer group names can be viewed in their entirety.
4) More group icons would be appreciated.

This is OK for a free app but it does need work, especially in the speed department as it feels very sluggish at the moment. However, it's definitely worth a look if you need the functionality and it has potential. I hope the next update will address some of the issues I raised.

Why won't it open

I downloaded the app created 2 new groups good! But try opening the app and access the groups, it's impossible when you tap the app you get the front screen try and open it and it goes back to the screen icon Please help until the help arrives I can't give it any stars
