ContactMateLite is an efficient and fun way to call, text or email your friends. Arrange an image collage of your favourite contacts (Lite limited to 3 contacts) and just tap their picture then the relevant button to call, text or email that contact (see tips below for easy ways to attach pictures to contacts if you don’t already have them).
Images can be repositioned anywhere on the display by simply dragging with your finger. In auto mode contact images are automatically re-sized according to how often you contact them. In manual mode images can be sized and rotated as desired using simple pinch and twist gestures. In both modes maximum and minimum image sizes can be set by the user.
ContactMateLite also has a stats page with a resettable counter which displays the number of times you call, text and email each contact.
If you find ContactMateLite to be fun and useful consider purchasing the full version “ContactMate” with all the same functionality but not limited to 3 contacts - create a complete and more colorful collage of all your favourite contacts! Additionally the full version is now Facebook integrated, allowing you to retrieve contact images directly from friends Facebook profile as well as open their profile directly from within ContactMate.

Tips:
* Move the ContactMate application icon to the bottom row of the Springboard so it’s easily accessible from your Home screen.
* If you don’t have an image for a contact you can: take a picture of them directly via ContactMate; use a picture you have previously taken; or grab it from the web by opening the image and pressing the Home and Power buttons simultaneously to capture then adding from the camera roll.
* In manual mode double-tap an image to square it and set it to the maximum size; double-tapping a second time sets it to the minimum size.
* In manual mode an image can be re-sized via the pinching gesture and rotated by twisting with two fingers – this may be easiest using your two thumbs.
