Cannot save contacts on IOS

[Marc F 1]

Evernote IOS 8.3.356604

When trying to save a contact to my contact list on my IPhone, Evernote confirms "contact saved" in a green bar on the bottom of the display, but the contact does not appear in the contact list. Playing around, I found out

- this problem only occurs if the default contact folder on the IPhone under Settings - Contacts - Default Account is set to my work account (Office 365 Exchange)
- if I change the default account to "on my IPhone", all works fine and the contact appears immediately

But obviously, I am looking for a way to save contacts to my work account, so that they sync properly with Exchange

Any ideas ?

Thx, Marc

I'm having the same problem since a few weeks ago.

Hi.  In the absence of any response to the initial post I'm guessing no-one has any working alternatives here - any chance you can copy from your iPhone to the contacts folder after the details have been captured?  I'm not a user,  so no idea whether this is meant to be an option within Evernote - we're mainly a user-supported forum here,  so your best bet is probably to contact Support  -  https://www.evernote.com/SupportLogin.action if you're a paying customer,  Twitter - https://twitter.com/evernotehelps if not. 

At worst this is a good feature request - try starting a new votable thread in Feedback to test how many users would support it...

The only workaround I found is to use a tool which syncs my contact accounts (default ICloud account on my phone with my O365 work account). FullContact does a pretty good job

The worst is: you can click into a business card, and select "save to contacts" - there is a little popup that says "contact saved." - but it actually doesn't.  Well, it does for some contacts, but 90% of the time it's consistently failing for the same business card (just scanned 25 contacts, 3 showed up in the Exchange contacts). SUCKS!  If at least it would give me an error message that the attempt failed.

Is this going to get fixed at some point? Some cards just won't save into my contacts. It's really frustrating.
