Skrol for iPhone vs. Apple Contacts

A group of people are walking on a rope

Comparing Skrol for iPhone with the built-in Contacts app is not entirely fair, because Skrol was designed for senior executives and their assistants, whose contact management needs go well beyond those of most consumers. Nonetheless, since Apple Contacts is the default contact app on the iPhone, the comparison below shows how much more Skrol can do for the right users:

Utility function provided by the Apple Contacts app

Please note that Skrol for iPhone and Apple Contacts share the same contacts database, so any changes you make in Skrol are automatically reflected in Apple Contacts, and vice versa. This allows you to continue using Apple Contacts for routine tasks and Skrol for advanced functions, such as personalized mail merge, digital business cards, and integration with other contact apps and CRMs.

Get Started in Seconds, Enjoy the Journey for Life!

The Skrol app is available for iPhone and Android smartphones, and as a browser-based app, similar to Gmail, for laptops, tablets, and desktop computers.

We recommend starting with the mobile version because it is exceptionally capable and may cover most of your needs.

The browser version is particularly useful for managing large contact databases, organizing groups, maintaining mailing lists, sending personalized emails, and allowing executive assistants to manage contacts remotely. It is also a terrific alternative in workplaces where smartphone use is restricted.

qr code

Skrol is a plug-and-play app. No importing, downloading, or synchronization of contact databases is required.

Your contact information remains with its original providers. Skrol accesses it only to display, organize, or update your contacts as you direct. We do not collect, duplicate, store, track, analyze, or sell your information.

You can remove Skrol from your phone or computer at any time without affecting contact information in the original apps.
