Contacts/SMS App ?

[scottmetzger]

So, 'upgraded' my phone from Android 4.X (Galaxy S3 Mini) to 5.X (LG 2 Escape).

Previously I could via my Contacts...
Left Swipe to Text
Right Swipe to Call

Can't do that anymore with the default Contacts.

I've tried a few different Contact Apps...
Contacts+, Contacts Ultra, FullContact. But none of them could do the above.

Does anyone know of an app that will let me do this?

I only need syncing to Google account, don't need to sync with any social networking.

Thanks,

Hello,

I have tried a lot of contacts applications and I did not find apps with this kind of features.

The swipe features you mention were proprietary to the stock Samsung apps

I agree with Miller6386.

I have a Samsung SIII and this is the only phone I have seen with this kind of feature. I guess it is a Samsung TouchWiz feature.

However, it is a good feature and a good shortcut for Contacts app ...

Well ... that's ... the ... suck.

Ok, follow up.
1) What contact app is the easiest (e.g. least amount of screen taps) to initiate a call from and initiate an SMS from?

2) What about messaging apps, is there one that allows easy (as in least amount of screen taps) selection from your contacts?
