works ok in iOS but no support for Android 3 and higher. No profile pics of the contacts for example. 5 stars as soon as this is updated again, but does not seem supported anymore by mrDavid.

Very good plugin, now in v1.3 and OK for BT3.0. Moreover, now it’s free for members, thanks Mr David!

Four important tips to use it:

1. Don’t believe the ‘ugly transition’ complaints you’ll see in the forum, there’s a quite elegant workaround!

2. To trigger it, use only the ‘default transition’ (other transitions will create problem with the ‘Back’ button).

3. Don’t use a fantasy Nav. Bar Title as it will be displayed on the top left ‘back’ button and it will be quite puzzling, use a title like ‘OK’ or ‘Done’.

4. Between triggering the screen and displaying the sheet (and when tapping the ‘back’ button), there’s a little delay (just time of a wink) with a ‘loading’ message. That’s the ‘ugly transition’ mentioned above. Workaround is to use a nice background image (embedded in the app, not online) in the Contact Card screen. This image will be displayed in a flash, creating an amazing effect.

Our advice: don’t buy it, join as a member, get it for free! It’s a must-have if you create apps for customers.

Promising plugin, but did not offer localization to be used for phone numbers outside US. Bugs when using the plugin for special services with phone numbers composed by only two digits.

Thanks.

I like the plugin, but would be better if it saved inside the app. That way you can have certain contacts for the app you are building. If I want to add a contact to my address book I would think people would just use the address book standard app from apple. Any plans to save the contact to the app memory so it can be searched from within the app?

Amazing plug-in. This is the gateway to start using the native iOS Address Book Framework in your BT Apps. That's native stuff Apple reviewers are sure to love.

This a great enhancement for a contact page in an app. Very Slick.

For a complete reference and to give you an idea of what the AB Controllers are capable of, check out this Apple Doc-
