Announcing Plaxo for iPhone

The Plaxo team is happy to announce the release of Plaxo for iPhone, version 1.0 – with FREE address book sync for all Plaxo members!
Plaxo for iPhone is the free, smart address book app that brings all your contacts into one place, provides access to your data on your iPhone, iPod Touch, and everywhere else you need it, and keeps your contact information up-to-date.
With Plaxo for iPhone, you can take your Plaxo address book wherever you go, backup your contacts safely online, and automatically sync over the air when you start the app or edit contacts on your phone.
Download the FREE Plaxo for iPhone app through Apple’s App Store.

Plaxo for iPhone

Key Features

  • FREE, full two-way sync between your Plaxo address book and your iPhone or iPod Touch (for all Plaxo members)
  • Easily browse and manage your address book contacts
  • Quickly communicate with your contacts – call or email directly
  • Complete access to Plaxo contact groups and favorites
  • Fast app toggle – put the app in the background and return without restarting (iOS4 only)
  • Convenient sign-in with your Plaxo, Google, or Facebook account
  • Create a Plaxo account directly from the app (if you don’t already have one)

MS Exchange Users
For those using Microsoft Exchange Sync, Plaxo for iPhone works with your existing email and calendar settings, but you must turn off “Contacts” sync for app to properly sync. To change this setting:

1. Go to Settings >> Mail, Contacts, Calendars
2. Select your Exchange account
3. Turn off “Contacts” sync
We DO NOT currently support Exchange Contact sync but are considering adding this functionality to a future release.

Thank you for being a Plaxo member! We appreciate hearing your feedback, so let us know what you think, and stay tuned as we introduce many more exciting features!

    iPhone working well but when iphone was updated, it seem to go all haywire. All it does is try to sync saying “preparing local contacts” and then hangs there… I reported this a few weeks ago and nothing as been done. I have been with Plaxo for quite a number of years and I would expect a better service that this. An update on the problem and the progress made would be a good start… Not impressed.

    Hi Robert,

    Could you please let me know the IOS version of the iphone? please email me at twhelp at plaxo.com, so that I can check on the status of the reported issue and assist you.

    Thank you,

  • Robert

    Quite frankly, this application doesn’t work properly with iPhone(s). I have asked on no less than 3 times about this issue as my company uses Plaxo on a subscription basis and they have not sent any details or acknowledgement. We have been with them for over 5 years now but we are moving elsewhere… they are a JOKE. Disappointed, you bet…

    I’m sorry; I couldn’t find any record of your email to support. Did you email us from the same email address? .I want to know more about the issues you are facing with the Iphone app. I’ve emailed you, could you please respond?

    Thanks

    I have the same problem with the iPhone App freezing on initial sync. I am a premium member with iPhone 3GS and iOS 4.2.1 (8C148a). I have written to premium support and received a reply that “we are looking into it” but nothing further. This App worked fine on my previous iPhone 3G before January. I have tried uninstalling, re-downloading and reinstalling the app to no avail.

    Latest iphone update is on my phone. All works well, however, Plaxo gives the same Preparing Local Contacts progress bar and does nothing else. I have left it over night but nothing… I have un-installed, re-installed, changed settings and such, but nothing… Any ideas would be gratefully accepted.
