This isn’t difficult to do, but can be a mite confusing if you don’t take the time to go through the documentation. Oddly, even though I have a Twitter account set up on my Mac and I follow most of my contacts, Bus圜ontacts’ built-in Twitter feed always displayed a “Follow” button, even for contacts I already followed. Until you figure out how to combine linked cards, Bus圜ontacts displays all your contacts from every address book you link to.Īs soon as you step through the initial setup process, Bus圜ontacts’ usefulness is evident. Select a contact and you’ll see your most recent email conversations right alongside your selected contact. Double-click a mail message and the Mail app will open that message. If you have Bus圜al installed a list of future and recent events will appear above the list of related email messages. Scroll down past the mail list and you’ll see items the contact has posted on social media. While I love the way Bus圜ontacts links related information for selected contacts, I did find the way you create events, create notes, or otherwise initiate contact to be a bit uneven. The application offers several ways to initiate these events, but those options aren’t always where you expect to find them. For example, Bus圜ontacts lets you use an Action menu and a contextual menu to perform contact-related tasks. But you can’t use a contextual menu when clicking on a contact to start a FaceTime call. Instead you have to use the action menu or control-click the contact’s phone number to initiate a call. Likewise, you can’t use the Action menu to add a tag to a contact. In short, it seems that the Action menu could have been eliminated altogether and the same tasks could have been performed using a contextual menu. The separation of tasks between these menus seems unnecessary.Īs a first iteration contact management app, Bus圜ontacts has much to offer. Easy set up and centralization of every tidbit of your contact information, including email, and social media feeds, makes it easy to keep an eye on everything your contacts are up to.
