Hi Rich, I just downloaded Bispecular and while I had signed up for it in the past, I went through the sign up process out of curiocity and to see if I can replicate what some of you seem to experience. When I first opened the app I was asked if I want to allow push notifications, I said

Hi Sieghard, It does not work quite like this for me, and I think it could be because all of my contacts have two or more numbers specified for them. I believe, when this is the case, when you double tap on the contact, you are then forced to choose which number is to be listed. Once I
