Interact with Contacts Smartly with Microsoft Connections App for Android

When someone calls you on your Android device, you can see that person’s identity either through your cellphone network provider’s special services or through the use of apps like True Caller. But even if you know who is calling you, you are sometimes puzzled why that person is calling you. And even more frustrating is the situation when you have just finished talking to someone on the phone and then realize you forgot to talk about something important. Only if you had some crib notes to assist you when someone gives you a phone call.

Well some people at Microsoft have thought along the same lines and have produced an app called Connections. This app helps you associate some notes, reminders or payments with each of your contacts. So when someone calls, the notes appear on your screen and give you a brief synopsis of what you should talk about or why they are calling you.
