Skrol vs. Popular Contact Apps on iPhone

A couple of people holding onto a rope

Skrol for iPhone is a chock-full of practical functions — more than in any other app of this kind. But rest assured, they aren't there for the sake of "featuritis" or at the expense of ease of use. In fact, you'll find Skrol easier to use and master than the barebone Contacts app that came with your phone. The table below compares Skrol with leading contacts organizers for desktop computers -  Apple Contacts, Cardhop, and Contacts+.

Why wouldn’t Apple, Google, Microsoft, or Facebook develop an app like Skrol?

Apple certainly may because it employs a vast number of some of the best designers, managers, and programmers in the world who could do just about anything they wish short of opening an Apple store on Mars.

Besides, the Skrol app wouldn’t be possible without all of the tools and computing infrastructure that Apple has provided for developers like us to encourage them to design the apps like Skrol. In that sense, we consider Apple a partner rather than a potential competitor.

Without a doubt, Google is just as capable as Apple. Still, its arrays of consumer-grade apps are relatively humdrum, because, just like Apple, they prefer to focus on grander projects than a mere contact organizer. Since we will release an Android-based version of Skrol soon, we also consider Google a partner.

Microsoft’s development infrastructure is on par with Google’s and Apple's, and they can eventually develop an app comparable to Skrol. Will it be as good as Skrol? We will not know until we see one a year or two from now. Keep in mind that at that time, we’ll also be a year or two ahead of them.

Facebook is an advertising/publishing/communication/ metaverse juggernaut and one of the best in the world in its respective markets. For that reason, it doesn’t develop or support apps like Skrol. Also, considering all of their problems with a good number of courts, regulators, and alphabet agencies in the United States and European Union, they already have their hands full.

In addition to all of the above, these Goliaths ruthlessly compete with each other, while an ultimate contacts organizer needs to be a good friend to all of their peers. And that — that Apple, Google, Microsoft,  and Facebook — will intermarry for the greater good of their respective clients is even less likely to happen than the Democrats and Republicans merging into one party.

So, for the betterment of humankind, this proverbial David is working hard toward becoming a contacts organizer of choice for the iPhones and Androids of the hard-working executives and employees at all four. To get started with Skrol, reserve your copy or join the beta-testing program now!
