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

    What the heck? First thing I did over 20 years ago was get a "Hot Mail" account. What did you do? This "Outlook" is for the birds.

    Please create a platform for easy movement of contacts from the outlook account to Google account in order to aid customers that changed from microsoft Windows phone to Nokia android phone.

    I use my phone a lot for work and having a multi step process to access contacts slows me down.

    I'm used to Outlook on windows phone and surface. Unfortunately Microsoft doesn't do much with phones anymore, so I've to get used to Android now. Outlook on Android unfortunately only covers mails and appointments. Even tasks are covered with your todo app. I'm missing the contacts. Goggles contact app is **** and does not show the contact pictures from Hotmail and exchange.

    It's difficult to update existing email addresses, the old ones stay in there & come up first. If you don't have it memorized you don't know which one is the current one.

    I don't think it is logical to require one to know to click the search icon to enter a new contact. Why not just include a People icon? How to do this is buried in FAQ. Should be more straight forward. article title suggestion: How to add a new contact in Outlook for Android. including all the other info in sync FAQ is ok but seemed this some how to task was missing.

    bring back the superior functionality of contact activities and the contact field in calendar events like it was in 2007. this new "improved" outlook is completely useless and I may as well use Gmail exclusively.

    VERY difficult to access contacts quickly in newer app version - to the point I'm looking into switching to another app (after happily using Outlook for years and years). Please go back to having Contacts button visible on nav bar.

    My contacts seem to get linked and corrupted in Outlook search. I search for my brother and it brings up his roommate instead. This does not occur in the Samsung Contact app.
