Add the contacts icon on the bottom navigation bar.

The new version removed the contacts icon for the search icon but when I search I don't always get the contact I am looking for even if it's in my contacts. Then clicking on the contacts it sends me to the list where I can not search anymore, I have to scroll, the previous version was much more intuitive

    I'd like to select contacts then see a list, scroll to contact or type first letters or numbers of contact. This is how other contacts lists work and is good.

    access to all contacts the way it was prior to this last upgrade. it is extremely difficult to find the full contact record on an Android now. I don't need to see the multiple times I've contacted a person. when I look up a contact I want to see full name, all phone numbers I gave on the record and the mailing addresses I have on the record, just like you had in the app prior to this last update

    whomever thought that burying my contacts under a search function and not having the app mirror the desktop experience of a mail view, a contacts view, and a calendar view missed the mark big time.

    Please bring back the contacts button.
    The search button should also be visible, where is the problem so see 4 buttons?

    I don't want a pile of other things when searching for a contact.
    I don't want an extra click to let me see my contacts.
    I don't want to search when I want a contact so taping a search icon is not intuitive.

    Outlook for Android needs some proper time and money spent on it. desktop Outlook is great.

    Yes revert navigate bar back to having contacts, like to was, was easy and simple now is crazy

  • Alex Button commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Why would you remove this, was simple now is under search and a arrow across to contacts, please revert to bottom menu

  • John Fredo commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I used this feature allot for quick lookup. now I am forced to go to death for contacts

  • Steve Peach commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I don't like you have to go to search to look for contacts. they should have their own tab.

  • Tim Jenkins commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    have a contacts tab where only emails from those under your contact lists show up
