>Connections, a Microsoft Garage project, helps you better manage your relationship with your contacts - be it friends, family, customers, vendors or suppliers. It helps you capture and surface important information so that you can be organized and prepared. Notes, Reminders, Categories & Sharing are just a start - but we aim to keep listening to feedback and improving the app so that we provide enough context to all your interactions.

>>Why use Connections?
>Note down information you want to remember for a contact right after meeting or calling them
>Set reminders for each contact so you get reminded with info on exactly whom to follow-up
>View the last note even before answering someone's phone call
>Categorize your contacts with tags for easy search
>Add pictures from your phone gallery so you can have visual notes and reminders
>Share notes along with related contact information like name & phone number


>>Some quotes from early users:
>"The app helped me remember things I needed to speak to when my wife called! Thank you! :)"
>"I run a business & used the app to set reminders for following up on payments"
>"I can now note down quotes I gave for new enquiries.No need to note them down on paper anymore!"
>"I used to carry a diary to remember customer orders, but now I can do it per customer on Connections."


>>Connections (http://aka.ms/connections) is one of our latest experiments at making people with smartphones be more productive on the move. We value your feedback on the app, and would continue to evolve the product based on your inputs. So, do try the app and let us know what you think!

Their garage apps are pretty cool but this one is useless to me.

Are people really that paranoid about visiting the Play Store now?

Please post the screenshot of that message if received.

This is the kind of app I would expect from a startup, not a big corporation like Microsoft.

Smells fishy, as in NSA fishy

This looks interesting, but I doubt anyone would use it because they're used to the apps they have

>>51909589
Thought that was the Last.fm logo at first.

This is Microsoft *Garage*, as in projects their interns did and other unpolished ideas.
