Brewster app review

If you like to stay organised when it comes to contacts, whether it's on Facebook, Twitter or those in your phone, then here's an app that lets you do just that.

Brewster is a personalised address book that helps you not just maintain a wide range of contacts, but also keep in touch with them. Once installed, users can link various accounts with the app such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Foursquare. The app then searches for people users are connected to across these social networks.

Users can search their contacts using keywords like family, gamer, the company in which a friend is employed, their hometown and so on. The app also keeps a check on how users interact with their contacts using text messaging, e-mail, Facebook and others. While 'smart lists' populates all contacts under different categories, 'my lists' allows users to create personalised lists. There's an updates tab as well, which shows upcoming birthdays of people.

The app also displays 'favourites' and 'trending' contacts depending on the user's interaction with them. It's important to note here that Brewster does not change your iPhone address book. It syncs contacts and social profiles and always keeps the contact info updated.

What's interesting here is that Brewster also keeps track of people users haven't been in touch with for a while and prompts gentle reminders for messaging via SMS or e-mail, in case they'd like to catch up.

Currently, the free app is available for download only on iOS devices but is expected to reach more platforms soon.
