Pros and cons of AB Contact Map app for iPhone and iPad

AB Contact Map app good for

Simple and easy to use. Would be good if it had more pin Colour options.
The ability to edit contact Notes: in this program. Or if thats not possible then how about having separate icloud file for NoteIT for contacts would be awesome. Thanks for a great app so far. Cant wait for the next update to see if I get my wish.
I use this app almost daily with my job. It makes planning to see patients much easier and less overwhelming. The update was badly needed. The author of this app did a fantastic job.

Some bad moments

I have about 300 contacts. For the first time I was able to see them in one map. That helped me organize them to groups based on locations. But once I exit the app, it crashes if I try to use it again. It turns the screen black and I have to uninstall it and re install it again!
Like many other apps Ive downloaded I was disappointed with this one: it locks-up iPad with "You have reached contact limit". Although it was an app I could use, it fell short. Too bad.
It does not find the proper location from a address on the map. So far a waste of money.
I installed the app and ran it. After 20 minutes of trying settings and looking for installation instructions on the web, none of my 100+ contacts showed up on the map. Maybe it is because all my contacts are in groups and none are the the default folder. This app need clearer instructions. If no instructions are requried, then, it did not work for me.
App looks like it hasnt been touched since iOS 6 or something. Doesnt place a single contact pin on the map and appears to be completely nonfunctional.
Is just a normal map No use and not showing pictures location
