@kelly - thanks for the suggestion - would you want to add your whole chapter at once? Or would one at a time be OK?
One thing to note is that you can do this one at a time on Apple iOs by sharing the contact with your own address book! -
I think we should have the ability to enter the entire chapter at once. For a new member in a large group, this would be a huge benefit. After the initial synch/download, the ability to add/download a member from the contact level would make sense for new members as they join the chapter.

Agree. It would be nice to be able to download all the members of your chapter at once instead of one at a time.

I too would love to ability to quickly download BNI member contact info into phone and desktop contacts. Is this something we're working on? Or, does this already exist somewhere.

At least with the mobile app, you can save individual contacts from the app to your phone. Before the app, there was no way to do this.

Kelly Gannott, where would I find directions on how to do this?

Lenora, you can go to each contact individually and click on the share icon (the triangle with 3 circles). If you have an android, you have to click on the Share V Card and text it to yourself and then open up the v card to save it to your phone...kind of a pain. On the Iphone I believe there is an option to save it directly as a contact instead of having to text it to yourself. The problem is, when you have 40 members and a new member joins, they have to do that 40 times. It would be nice if they could just have an option to download ALL Members contact info and save it to your phone :-) Hope that helps!!

Thank you Brad. I have an iPhone but only have the option to Share V Card or Share QR Code. I'll work on it a little at a time on my desktop. :)

It is Share VCard. Click that, and one of the icons that comes up is your contacts app (for iPhone; for Android, text to self as mentioned above). Click that and it will prompt you to save/create contact. What I see is that there is little to no info available for members outside my own chapter, which may be a function of the profile settings of the members in the other chapters, or may be that the ap only allows download of DETAILS of members within your own chapter. So on cross-chapter one-to-ones, you’ll likely still have to share contacts the “old-fashioned” way.
