(4/5 stars)
If you have the app already and if you like it, consider to rate the app or leave a short review in the App Store. This will help the further development of the app in these times when it is not getting easier to fund the development of ambitious niche software for the Mac.
As an honest user, you expect developers to be just as honest. And honest developers don't buy fake reviews. You can be sure that you will find only genuine reviews on all my apps. I've been able to manage my app business for all the years without these shady business practices, and I'll continue to do so.
Excellent App
by Modakjay – 2025-04-01 – Version 2.4.2
I have been trying to clean up my contacts for quite some time. I wanted to bulk edit to add groups, clean phone numbers etc. I accidentally found this app and within 5 minutes of using demo version, I purchased it. This app along with the companion app Importer for Contacts did the job for me. A well thought out app. Thanks to the developer team.
This upgrade is terrific

Very clean interface. Beautiful job.

Es wäre toll, die zu exportierenden Kontaktfelder etwas detaillierter auswählen zu können, z.B. Telefonnummern, Mail-Adressen u.a.. Ansonsten ist die App Klasse!
Ist bedienerfreundlich & funktioniert!

Great and reliable tool for exporting contacts
by anwir – 2025-01-13 – Version 2.4.2
For years the only simple and reliable tool to export and backup my contacts. Thank you for continuing support.
YESSSSSSSSSS
by humunculus – 2024-12-12 – Version 2.4.1
This worked where Apple didn’t. Apple claims you can drag-n-drop your contacts onto a Numbers spreadsheet and it will auto-populate. Yes, it does, but for me it keeps crashing if I want to do my whole address book. I have to do a few at a time for it to work. But with EXPORTER, in a single click all of my contacts exported as a CSV. All while I’m on hold with apple support. Saved me time and money. Thanks.

Best MAC Contact File Export Lists ever
by BigDLittleToad – 2024-10-26 – Version 2.4.1
I love this to create my Christmas Mailing List, Bocce Player List, Pickleball List and many more. I have exported only phone numbers and managed to text 100 people at once without typing their phone#. Simply strip out the special character and the 1 with the Option before you export. It is fabulous.

Works as Advertised
by Bporter4339 – 2024-07-13 – Version 2.4
I live in the apple universe. I needed a .CSV file for importing my contacts to Evite website. To complete the task:
1. exported the apple Contacts as .vCard
2. opened .vCard file in Exporter for Contacts 2, selected fields to Display Name and Email only, converted to .CSV folder
3. opened .CSV file in Numbers and reduced to 2 columns(fullname & email)
4. uploaded to Evite website for final review before sending invitations.
Works as advertised!

Excellent Software
by JP_CtrlFL – 2024-04-26 – Version 2.4
The app does exactly what it says for a reasonable price. Being able to see what the app can do before purchaseingis a nice touch. Exporter for Contacts 2 is highly recommended.

Eine tolle Weiterentwicklung, mit erheblichen Verbesserungen. Super!
than you god!
by d1432199 – 2024-02-20 – Version 2.3.4
finally a solution that works for exporting from Apple Contacts, doesn't require scripting, and lets you capture all the info in Contacts -- from fields like URLs with multiple values to social media handles that don't get exported when you drag contacts to Numbers or use vCards. Thank you! I only wish I had found you sooner.

by DT-A W – 2023-12-11 – Version 2.3.3
I tried dragging my Apple contacts to a Numbers spreadsheet but they would all not come over, and found no solutions when I wasted too much time googling. I did find recommendations for this app among the other Apple user's comments. Worked like a charm, saved me hours and was a very tidy, clean, and quick solution. Thrilled.

A dream come true
by Whateverbloodynickname! – 2023-11-12 – Version 2.3.3
Beautiful - just beautiful. Smooth as silk.
I wonder - is there any way it can pull out all the information I have put over the years in the Contacts NOTES section?
Into PDFs? Or all the notes arranged in ONE pdf? Or text edit?
I know - I know - that's asking a lot.
Otherwise this sweet little app is highly recommended.

Schade das Importer for Contacs nicht im gleichen Programm integriert ist.

Danke für die aktualisierte Rezension! Ich freue mich, dass jetzt alles zur Zufriedenheit funktioniert. Exporter for Contacts 2 und Importer for Contacts sind vom technischen Unterbau her leider zu verschieden, so dass es (momentan) zu kostenintensiv wäre, beide Programme zu einem zu verschmelzen.
Solves a nagging void in contact management
by Bikerbudmatt – 2023-08-29 – Version 2.3
Vcards are all well and good, but neither Apple's "Contacts" app/database nor my preferred "Busy Contacts" app supports exports beyond Vcards. That's a huge mystery (what are they afraid of?), but Exporter does the job. It makes lining up and selectively exporting contacts painless and fast. If you're weary of the inability to use your contacts for anything beyond your contact app's limited capabilities, this will do the job for you.
Amazing App
by ColeThom – 2023-07-26 – Version 2.3
I'm really happy with this app, I thought the earlier version was great, who knew that you can do even more with this one. The developer was super helpful when I emailed a question. He got back to me promptly with clear and easy instructions answering my question. Highly recommended.

I was having some trouble exporting my data because we had created custom labels that were not on the list to export.
After emailing the developer, he helped guide me through the process of exporting everything, even custom labels that our company created.
Everything exported, and now I will work on cleaning up the data. Very happy with Stefan and his quick response!

by jsobrato – 2022-12-02 – Version 2.2.1
I expecially like the custom export layouts that are saved so you don't have to set up your export each time.
I my case each year I need to import my Christmas list receipients into Minted and this program completely automates that process.

Just bought the app and am very happy with the outocome. I'm using it to manage personal contacts but it would do just as well for business use. Very much so appreciated the way it allowed me to download and try before buying to be sure I was getting something that would work.

Indispensible tool for exporting the fragile contacts data to Filemaker etc
by Zork is Not a Poet – 2022-08-18 – Version 2.1.1
For a DECADE Apple Contacts has been an INCREDIBLY FRAGILE, problem prone and buggy for contacts database more than 1000. This is ESSENTIAL safety net to avoid teh crashes , sluggihsness and randomly [and temporaility] MISSING contacts in the Apple Contacts database. I always want a text file export that can be imported into Filemaker if needed.
Did a Good Job
by Ram_Kina – 2022-06-30 – Version 2.1.1

Exporter for Contacts et Importer for Contacts, les principales apps de Stefan sont TOP ! Elles permettent d'avoir le contrôle total sur macOS Contacts… Ce sont des "best of" !
Extremely Useful Tool
by The Razor – 2022-05-31 – Version 2.1.1
Provides functionality that should be built in to Contacts but is not. We primairly use this tool every year to export our Christmas card list, but it has been useful for several other exports. Thank you for building this tool, and thank you for the effort to build version 2 which is more user friendly.
Unfassbar einfach und einfach gut!
by Steppix – 2022-04-21 – Version 2.1.1
Ich habe schon viel Zeit mit dem Rumgefummel an Kontaktübetragungen verplendert. Mit dieser App hat das ein Ende! Data Conversion at its best!
Es ist immer wieder erstaunlich, dass sich Apple, Microsoft, Google et. al. nicht auf ein einheitliches, uniformes Format beschränken können...
Zum Glück macht das Stefan Keller! Danke dafür!

Straightforward, simple to use. Does what it is supposed to do.
I can abandon my primitive efforts!
by Eunice Kathleen Waymon – 2022-03-25 – Version 2.1.1
This app does what I have laboriously and inelegantly been trying to do periodically just in case I should again lose some contacts by error. This app does that back up job so much better. It is simple to understand but also offers options for more detailed customisation. It offers a range of export formats. Highy recommended.
Exporter for Contacts 2 Importer for Contacts = GOLD!

Excellent app
by Bobegerton – 2022-02-21 – Version 2.1.1
Having become so frustrated with the lack of flexibility with Apple's own Contacts app when trying to export data, I searched and found this app. It does exactly what I want to do, i.e. to customise the fields that I wish to export. I first tried the free option, saw how good it was and promptly bought the paid-for optioin.
Fantastic product

I couldn't get this app to work and filed a bug report with the developer at 12:47pm (my time) and a fix (ver 2.1.1) was in the App Store by 2:36am (my time) the next day. Amazing turnaround.

Worked like a charm. Simple to use. No need to create an empty folder. It will create a new folder for you. Note: when picking a destination folder that is empty, it requires your to create a dummy single file in it.
super Überarbeitung
by Orsetto68 – 2021-12-19 – Version 2.1
Ich habe schin die erste version genutzt und war hoch erfreut über die einfache Bedienung. Mit der neuen Version wurde die bedienung nohcmals vereinfacht. Es bedarf keiner großen Handbücher, um seine Kontakte in einem gewünschten Format zu exportieren. Ich kann das Tool wärmstens empfehlen und ddanke den Entwickler für seine gelungene Arbeit.
Leider gibt es "nur" fünf Sterne. Ich würde sie glatt verdoppeln.

This app is priceless. I've used it for many years to create my holiday card mailing list and would be lost without it!

Perfekte Ergänzung zur macOS Kontakte.app
by jokurt – 2021-10-23 – Version 2.0.2
Stefan Kellers Programm schließt eine Lücke in der Kontakte.app, die ihrerseits nur den Datenexport via Einzel- oder Gruppen-vcard ermöglicht. Der Exporter stellt eine Vielzahl an Export-Formaten sowie detailierte Auswahlmöglichkeiten, sowohl für die Kontakte als auch, welche Daten exportiert werden sollen. Sehr durchdachte Lösung.

by Gauravani – 2021-08-22 – Version 2.0.2
I got my single column of email addresses within a minute. I have 5000 contacts, it handled it no problem. There is a little clean up work to do using Search and Replace in Pages say.. where there is a home and work email, it put them next to each other on one line, easy to fix with Replace.. so I'm not bothered. Was hunting for this for awhile, glad I found it here on the App Store. Thank you for making this. $9.99 is an easy price to afford.
Amazing
by muntzphoto – 2021-08-11 – Version 2.0.2
Finally a seriously good solution for generating CSV or Excel files right out of your Mac's contact app! It's shocking Apple doesn't offer this natively with the app, but what Stefan Keller has created is likely better than any native functionality Apply might have implemented.
Amazing app, thank you!

by pmontel – 2021-04-26 – Version 2.0.1
Exporter for contacts en version 1 était une application très bien faite et utile pour des exports multiformats des données gérées par l’application Contacts d’Apple. La version 2 est encore meilleure, avec une ergonomie améliorée (elle ne fonctionne qu’avec des machines équipées de macOS Big Sur). Et cette mise à jour est gratuite pour les utilisateurs de la version 1 ! Si vous ne l’avez pas déjà achetée, son prix est des plus raisonnables compte tenu des services rendus. Incontournable. Un grand merci au développeur :-)
Habe verschiedene getestet und macht genau das, was es soll und noch mehr
by Skrollan007 – 2021-04-26 – Version 2.0.1
Das Upgrade ist nicht nur vom layout frischer, sondern hat noch einmal weitere Exportfunktionen hinzugewonnen. Das nun die Unterschiede von Win-Outlook und Mac-Outlook berücksichtigt werden, ist super. Das das Upgrade Jahre nach Kauf der Vorgängerversion kostenlos ist, entspricht erfreulicherweise nicht dem Zeitgeist, alles auf Abo umzustellen. Dafür gibt es gern eine Spende.
