I used to delete some useless contacts on my iPhone one by one. It hassled me a lot. The app was recommended to me by a friend and I was under the impression after downloading it that I would be be able to remove contacts in batches. Amazingly fast and secure! The most importance is that it is Free! Thank you for providing such an awesome free to use software.
