by To Thread Contact’s credit, this $2 universal iOS app from New Zealand developer Oigo is beautiful to look at. The spare aesthetic, with a white background fronted by cool greys and blues, looks great on your iPhone, and makes you feel like you’re living in the future.
But that’s one of the few advantages Thread Contact has over Buzz Contacts, a productivity app with a similar set of features, but which costs just $1 in the App Store.
Thread aggregates your various contacts and puts them in one app.
Like Buzz, Thread Contact compiles your contact information from your iPhone’s contacts app, Twitter, and Facebook, and puts it all in one place. Both Thread and Buzz offer nice-looking dialers to make phone calls. But it’s more limited than Buzz—Thread Contact only calls from your iPhone, where Buzz will also call from Skype or several other voice-to-voice applications available for the iPhone.
