Importer for Contacts at Mac App Store analyse

Importer for Contacts is a powerful Mac application capable of converting Excel files and CSV files to vCards. The application can also restore address book groups from vCards and import contacts directly into Apple Contacts.

Unless unlocked with an In-App Purchase, Importer for Contacts allows the import of 10 records to give you a chance to check if the app does fit your needs.

FEATURES

- Imports Excel files (.xlsx)
- Imports CSV files that Apple Contacts refuses to open
- Imports vCards with automatic list/group restoration (if the vCards contain that information)
- Maps fields automatically and remembers field mappings for future imports.
- Lets you also save field mappings as separate import setups to make repeated imports easier
- Supports custom labels (lets you also create one on-the-fly)
- Can perform automatic list/group assignment. Lists/groups that do not already exist will be created. In your import file, simply add a column with a comma-separated list of list/group names that the contact should be a member of.
- Supports line breaks in CSV and tab-delimited text file fields (street addresses, notes, etc.) if the file is properly formatted
- Fields not supported by Contacts can be added to the "Note" field
- Provides a powerful feature to extract comma- or new-line separated labelled value lists from an import field. For example, if your import file contains a field with several phone numbers in the form "work: (123) 456-789, home: (987) 654-321", map this to the "Phone" contact field and choose "Extract from field" from the "Label" popup menu. Importer for Contacts will then split the text into separate values, assigning the provided label to each of them accordingly.
- Comes with an interactive preview to make it easier to determine the character encoding of the import file – helpful if you dont know which encoding was used or if you have no idea what a character encoding is.

Importer for Contacts is a native MacOS application and supports all fields of a Mac/iOS Address Book contact, including custom labels. It is a must for anyone who regularly needs to import data into Apple Contacts. If you want to *export* data from Apple Contacts to different formats (so the opposite way), have a look at Exporter for Contacts from the same developer.
