Very much so troels, thank you. An unbiased, outside view of the design is critical. Working on it now.

Thank you Henry. Much appreciated - check back in a few hours and hopefully it will be sorted.

Hi lifeisstillgood,
We obviously haven't made it clear enough on our site.
1. I would need to know a bit more about your setup - but if you are on a Mac, we have integration with your email, the Skype app and syncing to iPhone/Android.
If you are on Windows, then it's a bit more complicated and depends on what you use.
Drop me an email at [email protected] if you want with your setup and I'll see if it will work, now or in the future.
Regards

Agreed completely with most of your points - as I've already mentioned this is just the start and some of the things in the pipeline will easily surpass Google's relatively stagnant option.
However, I don't think Google does respect your privacy [1] [2]. That is a massive issue and is becoming greater over time and is something Add was created to directly counter.
Hopefully we can prove you wrong and still be here in 5 years - I want to build a sustainable and growing business, not a flash in the pan startup looking for a quick sale.

We do have a roadmap - not with public dates, but items for the near term future include automatic exporting of your contacts from your current solution and better web management tools. The beauty of being a paid for solution is we can work to implement feature requests made by our customers rather than worrying about selling ads or finding a business model.

Hi impostervt,
Yep, agree with you - we by no means are all the way there yet and there's still lots to do. Syncing is seamless, but at the moment you do need to export your current contacts and upload them to us. We are working on fixing that. Outlook is an issue because of its lack of support for CardDAV and is an issue I'm looking at as we would love to have better support or at least a free plugin.
This is very much just the start. Thank you for your comments though.

Hi Holger,
OK, so Add is a replacement for your contacts syncing and storage (of Gmail/iCloud etc.) for people who care about their privacy and believe that paying for a product means you are the customer, not the user or worse, the product being sold.
Does that make it clearer?

Founder here: started on Hacker News back in November (1) and now built. There's lots still to do though - all thoughts and comments welcome. You can email directly at [email protected] as well.

Sorry Eugenio, I obviously didn't make myself very clear or I'm misunderstanding your need. They are automatically synchronised with your Android phone and available in Calendars, Apps and the Phone. I bet you wouldn't even notice the difference from using Google Contacts.
With regards to backups, already done! We have full versioning so that you can roll back to anytime you want and backups are done continuously.
Thank you for the comments, really appreciated.
