Groups: Drag & Drop Contacts Management
Groups: Drag & Drop Contacts Management from Guided Ways Technologies looks to improve upon the built-in Contacts app that comes with the iPhone. It mostly delivers, though there are a few shortcomings with the 1.0.1 version.
Upon opening up Groups, the first things you'll notice are the polished colors and a slick interface. The app organizes groups in a column of tabs down the left side of the iPhone's screen and, like the iPhone's default contacts manager, features a quick alphabet scroll and search bar.
While Group's design is nice, its functionality is what really stands out. Groups lets you drag-and-drop individual contacts into groups. That allows for a number of powerful capabilities such as sending out a mass e-mail to everyone within a group. Other features include built-in smart groups, though you can't modify the settings that Groups uses to create these smart groupings. Also, when you drag contacts to the Trash group, they are still there instead of being obliterated. Guided Ways hails this as a way to preserve contacts, but I can't say that I saw much of a benefit.
