Tommy - creator here. I'd love any ideas about how the app can help you exchange and remember names better - but to start, it indexes by Time and by Location, so you if you remember where and/or when you met somebody, this can help you remember them! I built it for myself, but some friends helped me make it into something anyone can use. Looking forward to the feedback! ANDROID USERS - if you like the concept id love to hear from you, if it seems people want it I'd love to make an Android version

Quiz game. Put up a picture of the person, and see if I can get their name.

Adding a photo of business card to go with it plus a small note? At the moment I scribble on his/her business card why a person I meet is important and send a follow up later based on that info.

  Photos were a little to high-input for me to implement in the first version - wanted to give people something stupid simple, but finding a way to get photos in there without a lot of effort by the user (taking a picture of someone you just met is weird) would be amazing.

I just switched to an Android phone so apologies if this is old news, but as i make a call to people it pops up their last Facebook status on the dialer screen. I can appreciate this may sound like a total waste of time but i've been grateful of it so many times now! The effect is almost like my phone could read my mind and it's saying something like "ohh, you're going to talk to so-and-so? Well here's something current to talk about!"

  For a long time my friend's last Facebook status was that his dog had died. Really depressing.

Just installed it and gave it a quick spin. My first issue is that I can't change the location beyond the local area, so I can't add people that I met a couple days ago in a different city. I understand that ideally, you want to add people right away while you remember their name, but in practice I'm not going to pull my phone right after we've been introduced.

  Yeah I agree that's a problem.

This app is great. It doesn't support the phonetic spelling fields, though. It also needs email and note fields. When clicking a contact from the left-hand menu, it doesn't show the location. So there is lot's of room for development, but this start is sleek and extremely handy! I have already paid for an app that only does half of this one, and I am willing to pay again to get a fuller set of features! My personal hack for helping remember people is I use the company field as a tag. So people I meet in a bar will get the bar name in that field, people from school will get the school name, people from work, will get work name, clubs etc. The nice thing about this is you can search for company name, so I can just type in "study group" and I get all the contacts in my study group up as a result.
