Name Shark for Negative User Reviews

✓ Do not trust this app.Got this app 2 years ago loaded so many names worked well first 18 months. Then it stopped loading pictures. I signed out and signed back in only to have lost all my memories..Prad5Version: 2.3.2

✓ I hate your appHad high expectations.....your app is annoying...painful to add new people...have now been locked out...used your password reset only to be told its an invalid link!.Printers DaughterVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Once you get the data on it is fantasticJust what I wanted in terms of the quiz interface. Hard to get names and faces in though. I need something with a import function for use at larger organizations..Monky33Version: 2.3.2

✓ Never works-great concept thoughThis is a great app in concept but it hasn’t worked for me since I first purchased it a few years back. It doesn’t sync anymore and I’ve sent a message to the app developers and didn’t get a response. I’m actively looking for another app that will do the same thing..Dreamcicle22Version: 2.3.2

✓ Excited Then DiappointedI was so happy to discover the app that would do everything I needed it to. But after you upload a photo, you can't go any further. No buttons worked, not even Cancel. Basic testing needs to be made here..LionsAlwaysWinBookAuthorVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Wouldn’t access my contacts.Uninstalled..MyndigVersion: 2.3.1

✓ Does not work well on iPhone XInterface is crude and buggy. Seems to be designed more like a “game” than a serious contact/address book tool. Deleted it..BM94025Version: 2.3.2

✓ Great idea, just...It’s too cumbersome to use the iOS interface for large groups and the online group creator .json files seem to be incompatible with the app. I’m on the lookout for a similar app that actually is useful..@divideoverflowVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Premium doesn’t workHey I paid 3.99 just for the feature that was supposed to let me share groups with people, but the app crashes whenever I click “share”. Can we get this fixed pronto? I kinda want a refund if it’s not even going to work..Brockj10Version: 2.3.2

✓ App crashes when sharing group linkI have the paid version of the app and it crashes every time I try to share a group. I’ve deleted the app and downloaded again multiple times, but the issue continues..ADKFreeVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Never openedWould not allow me to sign up..ChgophylVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Waste of timeCrashes when trying to import contacts. No 'select all' button meaning that I wasted my time TWICE selecting 300 contacts to import. You can't filter the contact either. Would like to import only my work contacts, not see all of them..Aph0ticVersion: 2.3.1

✓ Adding pictures is a choreAdding a picture feature doesn’t work well. You can edit the picture and the “ok” button it’s too far at the top right off the screen and will not allow you to select ok. Hard to add photos.Pecantan3000Version: 2.3.2

✓ Unable to upload photosI’m on an iPhone 8 but when I go to upload a photo the app crashes….RedRunner179Version: 2.3.2

✓ New Names are Locational, not PictoralWhy don’t you store the location of where the name was added so that when I return I can be reminded of who is who? Further, no acquaintance will allow me to snap their photo..CalvinFabreVersion: 2.3.2

✓ NEEDS AN UPDATEWhile I love using this app for work: assisting bosses and higher-ups in getting to know our coworkers, it's got so many bugs. It was able to finally get to 100 people and went to sync it when the app continued to crash on me. After trying for two days to sync my contacts with people I shared it with, I wasn't able to sync it once and forced to delete it and log back in. After logging back in, IT DELETED THE ENTIRE GROUP I SPENT WEEKS CREATING. I've reached out to their tech through email and twitter but have gotten no response. If I have to pay another $4 to share a new group AGAIN for it to crash AGAIN, then this is just a waste of time to anyone trying to use it..Kelsey A (Not a Good Day)Version: 2.3.1

✓ Great idea, but app keeps crashingI love the idea for this app, but it just doesn’t work. Continually crashes while using. Won’t even let me add pictures of people. I do not recommend this app..DragonshooterVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Good but could be betterGreat idea and generally works well. Biggest issue for me is an inability to edit a group once it's been created from a phone's Contacts list..StokedHumanVersion: 2.3.1

✓ Rough spotsSome neat ideas for how to remember and retain faces. Interface lacks polish and is broken at times. On iPhone XR, for instance, buttons sometimes overlap the top corner bezel areas so you can’t press the buttons..RodomontadeVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Driving me crazyWant to love this app, but ability to quickly tag a photo a name is infuriating..takes much too long to upload. Looking for another app..KhaniftiVersion: 2.3.2

✓ No way to contact developer about issuesI can’t add photos to the app so I tried to report a problem and the website it down and there’s no way to tell the company it’s not working. From other reviews it says it’s been abandoned years ago and they’re not going to fix it. It’s such a neat concept too, I’m so disappointed. I need to upload photos to learn the faces that’s the whole reason I uploaded the app..JillyJoyVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Was great but no longer activeThe developer has not updated anything in years and the support email doesn’t work. The app was great for years but looks like the developer no longer exists - but you can still make in-app purchases. I did not realize it didn’t work until after I paid.LLL1324Version: 2.3.2

✓ Annoying adsGood app, super annoying ads that are hard to turn off..Majorq9Version: 2.3.2

✓ Loved until new phoneWhen I first got this app it was a huge help! Love the functionality and Ease of use! However: as noted by other reviews, I had to switch cell phones and the app will not let me import the lists into my new phone!! GRRR! I even purchased the $3.99 to share across devices, but to no avail. I can’t export, can’t import, and the option for support doesn’t existing. This is super sad, because this could be an extremely good and long lived app. I will have to look elsewhere and see if I can find something similar. (NameShark folks, if you can get this fixed it would be much appreciated!).Cephas1Version: 2.3.2

✓ Was an awesome appThis was an incredible app but it Is no longer being updated. As a result it is buggy and is impossible to use. It is a shame because no other app works as well as this did..Natashe RVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Sharing private lists doesn’t workApp is great to make your own list - but the features to share with others, with a private passcode doesn’t work at all. Talked with other users and they have the same problem.TM6753Version: 2.3.2

✓ Sharing feature does not workIt’s good for learning names on your own but after paying to be able to share my lists, I haven’t been able to. Every time I go to share, it closes out the app. Kinda frustrating..MadelinegibVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Disappointing import workflowShowed initial promise until I had to use this to build a simple group of teaching staff, adding contacts from my address book. I have thousands of carefully curated contacts but the work involved to create a group using Name Shark was tedious. Any contacts that I forgot or wished to add later could only later be added using the camera! The website workaround assumes I have the images as handy files. The developer should have fixed this clunky import workflow with some real field tests instead of just investing in the slick promotion and marketing of the app. Ill save more time using card stock, photographs and a glue stick to make my own flash cards this around..RgesthuizenVersion: 2.1.1

✓ Crashes in iOS11If this is not updated, It should be removed from the App Store. It crashes in iOS11..DghdfhVersion: 2.3.1

✓ Doesn’t work for iPhone XRSo bummed that there are serious UI bugs for iPhone XR. Please fix soon I really want to use this app!.BokononismVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Wish lists would transfer between devicesI started a new job recently and downloaded the app on my phone to try and remember people’s names, but then I got a work phone and none of the lists I had built on my personal phone transferred over to the work phone. Other than that, the app is pretty basic and straight-forward, which is pretty much what I was needing it for, though I also think it could benefit with a few leading questions to go along with each contact. Something like: where do you know them from? Distinguishing characteristics? Things not to forget? Something like that..Dallas BreVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Can’t get any helpI use this app to help my father with his aphasia. We’ve gotten locked out twice this week. I put out multiple request to have the password reset as well as the email that was provided to me by the hospital and still no luck. I believe this company out of business. No help.Mr.ChipsVersion: 2.3.2

✓ FIX IT OR TAKE IT DOWNI was excited when I first downloaded this app, but that quickly changed! It crashes so often it has quickly become unusable. It looks good and the quizzes would be great if I could only upload a photo without it crashing…or add a person without it crashing…or open the d@mn app without it CRASHING. Fix it or take it down. It seems obvious that this app has been abandoned..DeeKKoiVersion: 2.3.2

✓ NamesharkI could never log in. Reset password did not work..Drsleep8Version: 2.3.2

✓ APP NO LONGER UPDATEDDoesn’t scale properly in the new iOS and it’s unusable now. It’s broken unless it gets an update..Tonyb0dVersion: 2.3.2

Name Shark works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact Name Shark.
