BoldContacts connects to music and movies

How to link

Many major services have ways to link directly to an artist, album, song, playlist, video, streaming radio station, or streaming video channel.

The link is called a "URL" which stands for "Uniform Resource Locator". The URL is an internet address, such as a web page address, or a media player content file address.

Each major service has its own way link to content by using a URL. You will need to use whichever way your preferred service uses.

Music example: "I Want To Hold Your Hand"

Example URL formats for the song "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles:

Movie example: "The Wizard of Oz"

Example URL formats for the "The Wizard of Oz" movie trailer with Judy Garland:

  1. Start your typical iOS Contacts app.
  2. Tap the "+" icon to create a new contact.
  3. Type any name you want, such as "The Beatles" or "Wizard of Oz".
  4. Add any image you want, such as a photo of The Beatles or Wizard of Oz.

  1. Quit BoldContacts, then relaunch it.
  2. The relaunch makes BoldContacts refresh your contact list.
  3. A future release of BoldContacts will add automatic refresh.
