A well-designed iPhone app may appear deceptively simple because only so many functions can fit into a small display. For this reason, let's start with the functional overview of Skrol's main page:

All primary controls illustrated above are always present on top-level pages. This design helps you develop visual- and finger memory because "things" are always where you expect them to be. But when you rotate the app horizontally, the active page transforms into a touchless digital business cards that is always with you!
In the video below, Leah Masten describes her favorite aspects of Skrol. Please watch it to the end.
Skrol is organized into Address books, Lists and Galleries, Groups, and Folders. This structure is identical to the iPhone's Contacts app but is optimized for privacy and ease of use. Here is a brief description of each component and their respective benefits:
A scrollable list of familiar names is a natural interface between you and your contacts, hence the word "Skrol" in the name of our company and app.
At its basic, the List view helps you find contacts to view their folders. But we went a step further to help you pick what to do in response to a single tap, double-tap, long hold, and swipe to the left or to the right.
The choices for each action are view or edit folder, make a call, send a message, send an email, add/remove to/from a group, repeat the last action, and delete a contact. This flexibility becomes magic when you need to organize a contact list with hundreds of names.
The swipe to the left to make a call and swipe to the right to send a message are illustrated in the list view on the left.

You can flip between List and Gallery views from the Options menu next to the group name. Galleries are best for groups with each person having a photo, as in the Favorites group on the left. Here are the three top use cases for Galleries:

Once added, starting a chat requires only a single tap on the Chat app icon inside the person's folder.
Tap the Add command in the Edit folder to open a list of available social sites;
Tap the site name to open its search page and view a list of found names;
If found, tap the name of your contact to open their page;
Use the iPhone's Share command to add the profile's ID to the contact's folder.
To help you master the app, it includes a full User Guide. It breaks down each topic into smaller subtopics, as illustrated on the left. Because all illustrated articles are stored in the cloud, they are always up-to-date.
You can use the navigation controls in the bottom toolbar to read the Guide like you would read a Kindle book.
The History icon on the left end of the toolbar will show you the history of the topics you've read. The app icon on the opposite end returns you to Skrol.
For further convenience, you can switch the Guide between the dark and light modes, search through the items, and enlarge the font size.
Many people give up on using contact organizers because adding new contacts by hand, let alone on a smartphone, is such a pain. Not so with Skrol because you wouldn’t need to type in most cases. Researching contacts on a smartphone is even more challenging because you need to retype or copy/paste names into the browser. And good luck adding found information from the browser to the contact folder, especially images, links, and addresses. Skrol solves all that, and here is how:

Plain vanilla organizers don't get much use because they focus mainly on storing names, emails, and phone numbers. Not surprisingly, all people-related apps, such as WhatsApp or LinkedIn, develop their own contacts list, each with its own user interface and quirks. To get in touch with anyone, you need to locate and open the app first, find the person next, and, finally, open their folder. Not so with Skrol — just tap the service icon you wish to use, and it instantly opens a related app with the contact's name in focus, ready to start a call or chat. Here is how it works:

You can instruct Skrol to log your calls, emails, messages, chats, and other actions, including your location at the time of the action.
The log is searchable, sortable, and actionable, meaning you can repeat the same action again and again right from the log. Also, you can pick and choose which actions to log or not.
The actions are stored in the first-in, first-out order, and you can also select how long to save them. When necessary, you can delete any or all items in the log or all actions related to a person.
You can swipe a history item to the left to see all other saved events for this person or swipe to the right to see all other events of this type.
If you enable an option to store your location at the time of any action, you can view this location on the map by using the three-dot menu next to each item.
If you find yourself sending similar text messages or emails, again and again, you can save a good deal of time by using templates instead. This way, you can accomplish the same tasks in a fraction of the time. Templates are especially handy on the go, in the car, or if you aren't a fast typist.
You can create any number of personalized SMS templates that can include a person's name, time, day, duration, and location. This way, you can send informative texts in seconds with zero typing. Here is a typical example:
"Hi, [first name]! Sorry, I am delayed by traffic and expect to be [minutes] late! Please call me back at [my mobile number] if you can't keep the meeting."
When you select this template, Skrol will present you with the "Select duration" list from 5 to 60 minutes so that the final message will look like this:
"Hi, Emily! Sorry, I am delayed by traffic and expect to be 40 minutes late! Please call me back at 201-555-3456 if you can't keep the meeting."
You need only five taps to send this personalized and informative message while the car isn't moving. And it's even faster than dictating one with Siri.
This section is about ensuring you can get in touch with everyone reliably and find the rest when “just in case” becomes the case. There are two ways to accomplish this goal — pick a name from a group or find it via the search. Let's review both:

Siri will continue working with all contacts inside Skrol just like before on iPhone, Mac, iPad, Apple Watch, CarPlay, or any other Siri-compatible app or device.
This way, you can continue saying, "Hey, Siri, call Emily's mobile" or "Hey, Siri, take me home" on any connected Apple device with or without Skrol. In other words, for Siri to work, Skrol doesn't have to be active.
Skrol also supports the built-in Siri shortcuts you see on the left. You can choose which ones you wish to add to Siri's repertoire to control some of the most frequently used functions of Skrol with voice.
What are the chances of someone retyping the content of your regular business card info into their contact app? Pretty slim because it's a hassle. Skrol resolves this conundrum by displaying the QR code next to your basic information you see below.
This way, people you meet can instantly scan your contact information directly into their smartphones. You may also include your photo, a brief bio, multiple phones, websites, emails, chat services, links to your Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and other bits you wish to share.
In addition, you can swipe the page left or right to show other business cards or up and down to show a different versions of the current one. Please flip through the gallery to see these options:

You can create multiple digital business cards — one for work, another to share personal information with friends, another for a side gig, or your assistant, partner, spouse, and anyone else. You can also use them as name plaques during sit-down meetings or to introduce yourself during networking events.
While abroad, the app will translate the card into a native language and your home phone numbers will be formatted for international calls. Localized cards are also very convenient while asking for directions or hailing a cab.
Here is a brief list if other tools, functions, and conveniences we've added to Skrol to make it adaptable to your needs rather than another way around. Skrol will anticipate and accommodate anything and everything life and growing career may through at you — promotion or job change, moving to another country, adding new apps and devices, needing extra security, or improving accessibility.
Dynamic and custom font sizesThe Skrol app follows iPhone accessibility guidelines to display all fonts according to your settings in the Control panel. Additionally, you can zoom the app's fonts up or down in the five percent increment to fit your preferences further.
Biometric security You can enable FaceID, fingerprint, or PIN access control for extra privacy for your contacts in situations when your smartphone is left unlocked or lost. This level of security is highly private and reliable because it uses the settings you provided for your device.
International travel When abroad, Skrol readjusts itself to a country you are in. This way, you can call or text local numbers or call back home correctly. You can also add your current local address to the Settings to get correct directions or rides in another city or country.
Off-line access to contactsSkrol will show all available contacts with or without Internet. Neither will you get stranded anywhere without a WiFi or cellular connection. You can also add new contacts offline, which will be updated in the cloud when the Internet becomes available.
Dark and light modeSkrol will follow the Day mode settings of your iPhone automatically. But if you prefer to see it always in the dark mode or always in the light, you can do so too in the Settings section.
Share contacts via QR codeYou can instantly share the contact information of people or companies inside Skrol with a QR code. You can select what data to share and what not for each contact.
Preferred apps If you prefer Chrome, Opera, Brave, or Edge to Safari, Gmail to Apple Mail, Google Calendar to Apple’s, Google Maps to Apple’s, or Lyft to Uber, go to the Settings and indicate your preferences.
Search engine of your choiceWhile researching contacts on the web, you can select between using Google, Bing, Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo search engines to match your preferences and privacy concerns.
Auto-merge of duplicate records Skrol will automatically join duplicate contacts into virtual folders. It's helpful when you need to keep personal and business contacts for the same person separate from each other or when using address books from different accounts.
Restore deleted recordsIf you inadvertently delete one or more contacts, they are automatically saved inside the Deleted group. It only takes a few taps to restore or permanently purge them. Or use the Undo while editing folders.
24/7 native backup Apple, Google, Outlook, Yahoo, AOL, and Microsoft Exchange contacts apps use a rolling backup to protect your contacts in case you your phone is lost or you accidentally delete them.
Your contacts are yours for life because Skrol is built on top of Apple's iCloud services and works exclusively with native contacts’ databases. For these reasons, your contacts remain yours for life, Skrol or no Skrol.
Despite having so many functions and options, you’ll master Skrol in no time because of its user-centric design. You also wouldn’t find any other organizer as future-proof as Skrol because it leverages so many advanced capabilities of the iPhone. We are positive Apple will continue making iPhones more and more capable, and so will we.
