Groups takes contacts group management to a totally different level. With a highly innovative user interface, you get to manage your contacts the iPhone way; drag them, drop them or trash them. As they say, "a Drag & Drop is worth a thousand operations"... or something like that!

With Groups you can:

1. Create, rename, delete, sort, color, hide and navigate contact groups - all in a single view!

2. Drag & Drop single or multiple contacts into groups. Tap and hold on a Contact to start dragging.

3. Send Mass Email / Group Email to any Group. Mail Groups with individually set To, Cc and Bcc selections (Bcc, Cc options available for firmware 2.2 and above). Group mailing and Group emails couldn't be easier to manage.

4. Send Mass / Group Mail to only a subset of a selected Group. Simply perform a search and filter on contacts you wish to email. Group emailing was never this easy.

5. Merge multiple contacts into a single contact in Mass Select Mode (tap-hold two fingers on contact list). Extremely easy to merge duplicate contacts.

6. Remove multiple contacts from a group in Mass Select Mode.

7. Dial, SMS, Email and visit URL/Map Locations of individual contacts by tapping on their name for quick dialing (i.e. use it as a mini-dialer)

8. Search through your entire contact list from a single view. Type a name, a number or anything else you wish to find in a contact (URL, Address, Notes etc) and Groups will list them all.

9. Use the built-in smart T9 Dial Pad to make quick calls and quickly filter on matched names and numbers while you dial.

10. Use 9 built-in ready to use and helpful 'Smart Groups' to help categorize and manage your contacts the way you wish: 1) Singles (Contacts not in any Group), 2) No Name, 3) No Email, 4) No Phone, 5) No Image, 6) No Map, 7) Businesses, 8) Birthdays, 9) Photos and 10) Nicknames. Create custom groups at will.

11. Trash, delete and preserve contacts by dragging them to the 'Trash' Group. This would delete the contact permanently from the iPhone/iPod touch and then from your Computer when Synced or Pushed but will allow you to drag these back to normal groups, and thus restore them at a later point, unless you empty the Trash.

12. Keep your contacts and groups in sync with the built in Address Book, your Laptop or Mobile Me (Please see note below for Windows).

13. Map Out group contacts. For a selected group this will map out each contact on a map for visualizing your contacts

14. Auto-Sort by City or State if a Custom Smart Group uses the City/State filter


Groups is the ultimate Group Email client for your iPhone/iPod. Your address book, too, deserves respect. Groups is the only contact grouper tool you'll ever need. It's rich with features and offers unmatched usability.
