You don’t need to switch in a literal sense. Skrol will continue working alongside your phone contact app and all the compatible apps you already use, know, and love. The entire “switch” effort takes only three familiar steps:

Step one: Download a free copy of Skrol from the App Store or Play Store;

Step two: Tap the Skrol icon on the home page to launch the app;

Step three: Acknowledge permission to access your contacts;

Done!

Yes, you can! Skrol shares the same contacts database with all these apps, so you can continue using them like before. Anything you’ll add, edit, or delete inside Skrol will instantly update all other apps and visa-versa.

Skrol compares with most other contact managers in the App Store in the same way Excel or Google sheets compare with a calculator app on your mobile phone. Please watch the videos and comparisons without other apps if you think we exaggerate [link].

Yes, WhatsApp and all other apps that rely on phone’s contacts database use the same Apple or Google-provided tools and services as Skrol for accessing contacts' information.

An app called "Contacts" runs on your iPhones, iPads, and Macs. You also can access contact information through the iCloud web app that runs inside Safari or Chrome. All three are accessing the same database in the cloud as Skrol and other compatible apps, but their actual design is slightly different.

You are already using the address book built into your phone. Skrol is a more robust version for people with many contacts in different apps and social sites because they need a more sophisticated tool to organize all of them in one place. And AI will make contact apps like Skrol better, but will not replace them anytime soon.

Assuming you are OK with its user interface in American English, you can because, internally, Skrol supports all of the non-hieroglyphic languages and international conventions for phone numbers and addresses.

We designed Skrol with multilingual support in mind and plan to gradually add other languages, starting with the most widely used European languages, such as Spanish (538 million speakers), French (277 million), Portuguese (252 million), Russian (258 million) and German (131 million). Other languages will follow as soon as the resources allow.  If you are curious to know, English is spoken by 1.3 billion people. Among them, 370 million are native speakers.

Like the iPhone and Android contacts apps, Skrol forms accept Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Tamil, Hindi, Cyrillic, and similar characters, as well as related phonetic names in English or any other language.

Yes, you can use the Contacts apps for Mac to import contacts into Skrol from CVS- or vCard-compatible files. Here are the steps:

Step 1. Prepare your contact data in a compatible format, such as a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file or a vCard (.vcf) file.

Step 2. Launch the Contacts app on your Mac computer. It can usually be found in the Applications folder or accessed from the Launchpad. 

Step 3. In the Contacts app, click on the "File" menu in the menu bar at the top of the screen. From the drop-down menu, select "Import."

Step 4. A file selection dialog box will appear. Locate and select the contact file (CSV or vCard) you want to import and click the "Import" button.

Step 5. If the contact fields in your file do not match the standard fields in Apple Contacts, you may need to map them manually. The Import dialog box will provide options to map fields such as name, phone number, email, etc., ensuring the data is correctly imported into the appropriate fields in Apple Contacts.

Step 6. Review the import settings and make sure everything is correct. Click the "OK" or "Import" button to start the import process.

Step 7. Please wait for the import to complete. Once finished, you will see the imported contacts inside Skrol on your iPhone.

If you are a Windows user, you can use the Contacts app for iCloud. Open the www.icloud.com/contacts/ page inside the desktop browser to launch it. 

To access the import option, click the Gear icon (settings) in the lower-left corner. The iCloud version can import contacts in the vCard format only. There is no need to mapping fields when importing vCards.

To import contacts into Google Contacts database, you can follow these steps:

Step 1. Export your contacts from your current source in a compatible format (see below).

Step 2. Open Google Contacts. Go to contacts.google.com: https://contacts.google.com/.

Step 3. Click Import. This button is located on the left-hand side of the page.

Step 4. Click Select file. Choose the file that contains your exported contacts.

Step 5. Click Import.

Google Contacts will import your contacts and add them to your database.

Here are some additional tips for importing contacts into Google Contacts:

• Make sure that your contact file is in a supported format. Google Contacts supports CSV, vCard, and XML files.

• If you are importing contacts from a CSV file, make sure that the file is formatted correctly. The first row of the file should contain the column headers, and each subsequent row should contain the contact information for a single person.

• If you are importing a large number of contacts, it is best to import them in batches. This will help to ensure that the import process is successful.

• After you have imported your contacts, you can review them and make any necessary changes. You can also organize your contacts into groups and add labels to them.

• If you have any problems importing your contacts, you can visit the Google Contacts support page for more help. [link]

No, it will not because it doesn't run any round-the-clock services. The only battery power seriously consumed by Skrol is the power you use to light up the phone's display while using the app.

In the unlikely event Skrol will stop working, just close the app like you would any other iPhone or Android app and launch it again.

Absolutely. While Inside the app select the Settings/About and Support/Suggest a feature command. Describe the feature you like, and send your request over to us.

You can use Skrol on any iPhone connected to your Apple, Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, AOL, or Microsoft Exchange account.
