Cheap app skyrockets productivity
With the many modern mobile technologies, staying in touch with loved ones, friends, and professional contacts has never been easier. You can set your phone’s contacts into groups, sending mass texts or emails to everyone at once. But there is an even more sophisticated technology that you can use to customize your contact groups and overhaul the way you maintain your professional and personal relationships.
Buzz Contacts is an affordable iPhone app—costing just less than one dollar—that will revolutionize the way you manage your contacts. When you add a new connection into your iPhone, you can assign a specific method of contact, depending on your relationship needs with that particular person. This means that if you call your boss, mother, or best friend more often than you text them, you can assign that as your primary action. The same goes for emailing or using FaceTime.
Once you’ve assigned the preferred method for each of your connections, all you have to do is tap on the name and be automatically connected by the methods you’ve chosen. Even more useful than that, you can also set a text message or email message that you use most often—called “status taps”—to each of your contacts, saving you time and energy. For example, you can text your spouse that you’re on your way home without actually having to type it.
Buzz Contacts also offers a new way to view and sort your contacts. Instead of a traditional listing of your contacts, you can view it in a grid format. You can switch quickly between groups and stay in the Buzz Contacts apps during incoming and outgoing calls, text messages, and even in your email account. When it’s time to call or text someone, you can “dial contacts by name or number.”
So, instead of scrolling through your contacts to find the right one, just start typing it in, and that’s it. Buzz Contacts will keep you better organized and productive, streamline your personal and professional efforts, and increase your iPhone efficiency.
