Simple and easy to use, with location and time indexing.

Nice work. My first reaction was, "Huh? Why not just use your phone's built-in Contacts?" But then thinking about it for a minute and watching the very helpful video demo on the…
Etab on HNThis app is great. It doesn't support the phonetic spelling fields, though. It also needs email and note fields. When clicking a contact from the left-hand menu, it doesn't show…
wodenokoto on HNI like the simplicity of the app, just the right number of field. I couldn't find a suitable name for the location I was. Can I edit the location name? Where is the app getting…

Objections
Entering details mid-conversation is awkward and slow.

This is my problem too. When someone introduces themselves to me, I can feel their name slipping out of my brain seemingly before they've even finished saying it. An app would…
nsxwolf on HNTwo thoughts on this (disclaimer: I don't have ios so I wasn't able to download the app - this is based on the screenshots and description): 1) I think there's a strong case to…
GrinningFool on HNWait? These are TheCitySwig guys? Just to let you know your last website was so horribly insecure. It was like a whois who of Owasp Top 10 issues. Just letting you know in case…

Does not work outside the local area or for non-US phone numbers.

Just installed it and gave it a quick spin. My first issue is that I can't change the location beyond the local area, so I can't add people that I met a couple days ago in a…
cedsav on HNHey, this doesn't work in the UK, despite being on the UK iTunes Store - it won't accept a UK phone number (it's too many digits).

Good idea. Do make an Android version! Also consider letting the user add photos and custom fields to contacts (those could range from "research interests" to "hair color" to…
networked on HNTommy - creator here. I'd love any ideas about how the app can help you exchange and remember names better - but to start, it indexes by Time and by Location, so you if you…

Photo support.

Adding a photo of business card to go with it plus a small note? At the moment I scribble on his/her business card why a person I meet is important and send a follow up later…
janjongboom on HNDamn. I was thinking of building something like this! (More specifically, I imagined the UI flow would involve getting the person to take a photo of themselves.) Seriously, this…

Custom notes and fields.
From 3 comments
How about a text field that allows you to write something about them. "Dude with weird hair, works for Widgets Inc. Said he was divorced but had a daughter in college." Then make…
speedyrev on HNI think Speedyrev2 hit it on the head. A notes section makes too much sense. "Cute girl, bitchy freind, etc etc". That functionality makes it even more interesting than it…

How does it work? I'm reluctant to click to try it out because the mobile page didn't explain enough about it / don't know what I would be getting.
