Your own private black book and private contacts hidden behind a regular looking calculator app.

Dont let your private contacts or little black book fall into the wrong hands! Our pass code protected black book looks just like a normal calculator app except when you enter your pass code to gain access to your private contacts. Our inconspicuously named "bbCalc" is sure not to draw attention or get people curious.

The default pass code is "123". Enter "123" into the calculator to access the private contacts. You can change the default pass code once you are into the main contacts application on the settings page.

Pros and cons of bbCalc Private Contacts app for iPhone and iPad

bbCalc Private Contacts app good for

This is a great program, I like the fact that the name does not say stupidly private contacts or black book or similar stupid things that its competitors say. After I changed the password, I added my contacts, Bobs your uncle, it works as advertised. It would be nice to have the option of adding a foto from the camera, because lets face it, if I am using this app to hide contacts from my partner (thats what most people will be using it for), it is unlikely that I will want the foto to stay in my foto roll. Nice bit of kit, would have got 5 stars if not for the foto thing. Oh, and the calculator works as well.

It does exactly as stated. Its simple and straight forward. The only thing that could make this better is if I could import an existing contact.

Very nice. But we can not import the contacts to BBcalc.The pictures is too small.We cant insert more pictures for the contact. But is very nice.Good work.

I am very happy with bbCalc Private Contacts. The Calculator icon is the perfect cover for the program. I wish the pictures were larger, especially for an old mans eyes like mine! The double layer of a normally working calculator and then a password is a great idea. Perfect for what I needed. Just enlarge the photos and it would be a 5 star.

I love this secret calculator apps they are very useful but I wish these apps (meaning both calculators) were one app that required two different passwords to access each thing be it notes or contact!!! But I love these apps and I. So glad I got them and I recommend these two apps to everyone so you can have a calculator and a few sweet hidden features!!! BUY IT NOW you wont regret it

Been waiting for an app like this! Thank you! Works as described!

Some bad moments

When double clicking home button and while typing in a field, the keyboard stays up and the calculator screen comes back. The app is then unusable besides quitting it completely.

I started moving some of my contacts to this application. I changed the default password. And now, every time I access the application and enter my password, the apps crashes. This is just awesome! I have lost several important contacts, and I dont know how I am going to get them back. To add insult to injury, I tried to get support from Pitch Black, but never got any answer.

Is there a way to retrieve stored contacts if app is deleted? If so, Ill change the rating to a 5. Thanks. Very good otherwise but would like to see it with a more nondescript name, like simply "calc"
