I’ve looked at every Address Book alternative worth considering, and none of them seemed like a viable replacement to Address Book. I’ve been disappointed by Apple Address Book since I first laid eyes on it, and with OS X Lion I thought it got even worse in terms of looks, and no better in terms of features. If I sound strangely excited about Cobook, please forgive me. Right now the What’s New page is not up-to-date (last updated on May 18th, as I write this on August 10th) but it’s still worth checking out. Taking a look at the What’s New page on the developer’s site will give a good overview of all the many features and enhancements going into this application.
Of course, it sits there working away in the technological background as a database that syncs with Cobook, but it for sure no longer see the light of day.Ī beta release (version 1.1-beta8 ) of Cobook came out since I wrote my original review, and the developer(s) have improved even more on what was already an excellent feature set. Now that I have Cobook I can see there is absolutely no hope for Apple Address Book ever making a return to my desktop. I’ve not opened it even once, and I look up contacts multiple times a day. Since installing it I’ve ceased using Apple Address Book completely.
What’s even more amazing is this kick-arse application is free. This truly amazing little app-although BIG on features-is called Cobook. In fact it’s the coolest address book app I’ve tried on Mac and Windows and Linux (although that’s not to say I’ve tried them all). A week or so ago I wrote about what I now consider to be the absolutely best Apple Address Book alternative I have ever seen and used.
