Catchup: Friendship Tracker

Keeping in touch with people is something we’re all trying to do (right?) so why aren’t there more apps supporting this. The first one I came across was Garden - but that seems to now be abandoned, and is unstable. This is a pretty good substitute. Add names (shame you can’t categorize them eg home and work) and the set a frequency to stay in touch at some predetermined interval (shame you can’t customize that, you get the choice of once a week or every two weeks etc). And then you get to click and update when you speak to folks (this app does a nice job of capturing a journal entry - but sadly doesn’t seem to back up to iCloud - so I don’t feel confident about relying on this repository of conversation). It seems stable and the price seems fair. Although it was last updated 11 months ago as of this writing - so hopefully will be maintained? A great idea, a good (but not great) implementation. Still recommended - but wished it did a little more.

This is a nice app to keep track of connections that might otherwise slip away or for times when you’re forgetful. I wish there were a “remind me on x date” or “snooze next reminder” option. Also would be nice if you could dismiss or record a connection from the notification.

This started off being a great app. I used it for several months and felt good about reconnecting with people I didn’t run into naturally. However, it doesn’t sync across devices. For example, I can download the iPad app, but I can’t see the current list, or updates. I switched to iOS 18 and my tracking information was lost on the update. I would give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the sync issue.

Super easy to use, and excited to keep in touch with the people that i love! suggestion: • option to add date when we last hung out in person • option to add frequency of in person hang outs although i love to check in through the phone, i want to make more of an effort to SEE the people i love more often in person.

Great app however the subscription is currently broken and unusable.

Initially loved it, but there’s a bug not allowing me to upgrade to plus so I can’t use the app anymore. Total shame, really loved it :(

Entered a bunch of data, now the names and pictures no longer show in the app. Not usable if you don’t know who you want to contact.

Can we have an option to call or text with whatsapp.

Have literally sent to all of my busy friends.

Great app, simple but very helpful! Only thing I would add is the option for a reminder to contact people every two or three days, rather than only every day or weekly.
