User reviews
I'm now using Google voice as my default call and messaging app but if I use my contacts app and try to text or call from it, it will open the phone's default apps which can not be set to Google voice. This is a big issue if you are using Google voice to forward calls to a different number. I was hoping using Google contacts would bridge this gap. It does not. It literally does the same exact thing as the phone's default contact app.

Bryan Bischoff, 2024-12-02I don't like using Google anything. They rarely work and it seems every week there's some new feature or app I find in my app's list that wasn't there before. No details at all. But If I try to disable it a pop up shows up and says the feature can't be disabled or my phone will not function right. There is over 40 apps and os apps for Google alone. Since I have a Motorola there's 28 features that I also can't disable, and have no idea what their purpose is for. Plus needing to be updated. Absurd

Anita Urban, 2024-11-18I don't know why, but this is the first time I've had MAJOR Issues while using this app. Apparently, "my contacts don't exist". Also, my contacts won't sync. Also, I can't change the contacts permissions, either, as no permissions are denied. It's extremely frustrating that when you get a new phone (Pixel to Pixel), your basic phone features (such as the Contacts app) DON'T Work! I can't edit my contacts at all. And, they are all messed up, too!
