Your iPhone can store up to 50,000 folders. That number is probably beyond practical, but it's nice to know you can!
Unlike traditional contact organizers with a fixed number of fields, Skrol lets you store any reasonable number of emails, websites, phone numbers, notes, addresses, social links, chat sites, names of relatives, and anniversaries.
The picture on the left represents s a typical View folder. Similar fields are organized into sections, such as the Phones and Email sections under the photo. The View folder displays only completed fields and sections to minimize clutter and speed up use.
The icons next to each field interact with related apps. In the example on the left, an iPhone number has three options: send a text message, use FaceTime, or make a call. The tap on the phone number (in blue) opens an Action menu with additional options.
To add, update, or delete fields, tap the Edit command in the upper right-hand corner.
The three-dot command opens the menu on the left with the following options:
The Email section is intended for sending work and personal emails via your preferred app or directly from Skrol with personalized templates described in later sections. You can also use templates for sending personalized emails (mail merge) to all of your contacts, any one group, or several selected people.
The Calendar section connects to your preferred Calendar app. A tap on the icon opens its Event entry form. This way, you can enter new events directly from Skrol.
The Website section is intended for sites related to each contact. You may enter any reasonable number of websites, such as work, personal, blog, store, and similar others. A tap on your preferred browser icon opens a related site. You can add additional links to any contact directly from the browser by using the Share command and selecting the Skrol app.
To start a chat from any app, you need to find and open it first. Second, you must locate the profile of the person you want to chat with. Finally, open their profile and start chatting. Skrol does all the same in a single tap from the Chat section.
Adding chat links is slightly different, depending on the app:
Once added, starting a chat requires only a single tap on the Chat app icon inside the person's folder.
Once added, starting a chat requires only a single tap on the Chat app icon inside the person's folder.
Skrol helps you find and link to the social media pages of your contacts. This process involves only a few taps:
Adding chat links is slightly different, depending on the app:
Once added, starting a chat requires only a single tap on the Chat app icon inside the person's folder.
From now on, a single tap on a related social app icon will open the social profiles of your contacts.
Skrol supports linking to the top 20 major social apps. You can add more social, business, or corporate sites and directories via the Setup.
The Notes section is intended for basic notes related to contacts, such as their brief bio and any other trivia that may be helpful in the future. You can add only one note per contact. The iPhone design determines this limitation, and we must abide by it for complete compatibility.
For keeping more detailed notes, you may attach cloud-based documents in the Website section.
The Address section is intended for work, home, or any other address a person may have. When you tap the preferred mapping app icon, Skrol opens the "Directions and Rides" menu that lets you select directions to/from a contact address and to/from your home, work, or current location, and vice-versa.
In cities with heavy traffic, you may select using Waze instead of Google or Apple Maps. Alternatively, you can tap the "Rides and Map" submenu to request an Uber or Lyft ride from your current location.
The Relations section is intended for connecting to the folders of the family members in your address book. This way, tapping on the name of a relative will take you directly to their folder.
The iPhone design allows entering a single date into the Birthday section. Optionally, you can select to show the person's age and Zodiac sign in the same section.
The Reminders sections let you add a reasonable number of recurring events, such as a family member's birthday, wedding anniversary, graduation date, and others.
If you dread missing important anniversaries of people close to you, add them to their folders. The Reminders icon on the bottom toolbar will light up with a red dot in advance of pending events to ensure this never happens.
When Skrol app isn't running, reminders will appear as banners and icon badges on the home screen.
The Business Card section is intended for photos of the contact’s actual business cards. You can add one there in the following ways: while scanning an actual business card, selecting the image from the Photos library, or taking a business card photo with the Camera app.
Why would you want to save someone’s business card? We don’t know, but the option is there for those situations when it may be necessary.
The Groups section shows all of the Groups this folder belongs to and opens them with a tap. You can add a contact to a new group by tapping the plus sign. You can also remove them from any groups inside the Edit folder.
We consider Groups one of the most important parts of Skrol and encourage you to create and maintain them diligently. This way, months or years later, you can quickly find and connect to people you may not remember by name.
Since most of your contact folders will contain only a few phone numbers, emails, and, maybe, a website link, using a compact View folder is much faster.
The Edit folder, on the other hand, displays all available fields and adds a navigation toolbar for moving between them quickly. This design is similar to the iPhone Contacts app because both apps share the same database.
Thus, any changes you make inside Skrol are immediately updated inside the Contacts app and vice-versa.
The four icons on the bottom of the photo let you take a person's photo, select an image from the Photo library, find one on the web, or delete the photo.
And as you will learn further down (or have seen in the video), Skrol can scan business cards, read QR codes, and add vCards directly into the folder.
