Today's Address Book

Nowadays the address book people use is much different than it used to be; in fact, instead of being filled with addresses our contact list seems to be more about ways to connect through social networking. The Connect app has been created for those looking for a way to communicate in a modern and simple way. The app makes it possible to find your family, friends, and co-workers quickly and easily by using their data from Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, Foursquare, Instagram, or your phone contact list. The app provides you with access to their most current posts and updates, the most recent location they have been, and anything else they have posted on their social media profiles.

Timesaving Tools and Features

The Connect app is all about making it easy to find and connect with your contacts making it a real time-saver. Instead of going through all your social media apps you can find everything in one spot quickly and easily. Use this app to send messages from, email, text, and call. You can even see what friends are nearby with the friend finder that shows where a particular friend may be, or by city. If one of your contacts from out of town happens to be in town you'll get an alert giving you the perfect opportunity to meet up. What's cool is that you can alert your social network where you are and for how long, making it possible to always find a friend nearby to chill out with.
