Versioning for your contacts

Review changes made over time to your contacts

Yes, we’ve done it.

Silently, but we have.

We’ve just added individual history to your contacts.

Versioned contacts: you know, for that time you accidentally deleted someone you didn’t meant to.

Of course in Soocial you’ve always had your whole address book safely stored in a backup – but now you can also view, restore and revert individual versions of contacts.

We’ve just added a way for you to review changes made over time to your contacts. This is a big step towards creating a time machine for your address book. We’re not 100% there yet but close.

You can now view the history of changes made to any contact. Whether that contact has been changed on your iPhone, via Gmail or in our webapp – you can see what changed, when and via what device. Also you are able to restore to any version of the contact.

See the below screenshots for more examples:

    I appreciate it, too :)
    Now, the only thing missing to make me a definitely satisfied premium user is a thunderbird plugin!

    I assumed that when I looked at this it would have a short history going backwards, that at some point in the past there would be a single import of all the data. But no, the data goes back months. That’s fantastic. Thank you. A lifetime subscription keeps getting better all the time.

    I second Alessandro! =)

    Well, maybe sync direction control (where Soocial is always the Master record) is still a dream of mine.
