Back in January I reviewed two apps that take the iPhone’s address book in a different direction. NameCatcher and NameCatcher Biz strive to make it easier to remember people we meet and refresh our memories so that we can contact them again in the future. I liked the way in which the apps let you quickly grab just enough information about someone so that you can fill in the details later on. The voice note feature is especially useful since you can just speak the information you want to remember and then come back to input it as text.

The apps were polished and did exactly what they promised. There was one huge issue however. Because the initial release had no integration with the Contacts app it felt… well to be honest it felt redundant. Now version 1.1 has been released and while it doesn’t have the full integration I would have preferred it does provide the ability to sync information to contacts. In addition the update makes an expanded notes section so that it is easier to grab and access information that does not fit into any one field.

We have a few promo codes available and we’ll be giving them away later tonight. For a chance to win one just leave a comment telling us how you might use an app that lets you grab names and information about the people you meet quickly so that you don’t have to rely on your memory or a small scrap of paper.
