• Creates groups to easily filter contacts (Male/Female) or set custom ringtones according to the caller :-)
• The gender prediction runs as a background service (every 10 sec, or 1 min, or 10 min or 1 hour)
• Your existing Title data (Mr., Dr. etc.) is not overwritten, unless you specifically request a wipe
• Once all contacts are genderized, the App shows a summary of how many Female / Male contacts were detected
• You can share this #funstat on Twitter, G+, Facebook if you like

Known issues

• Facebook contacts don't seem to be synchronized in Android the way other contacts are synchronized (LinkedIn, Google,...) so GendRE cannot enrich gender, but you can include Facebook contacts in the statistics http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23195352/query-android-contacts-synchronized-from-facebook

Languages and Localization

GendRE works with all international names (with very few exceptions). To help with translation/localization of the user interface (~300 words), please visit https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/gendre-gender-app/ It helps if you can run the software once, to see the main messages in context. GendRE is currently available in: English, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Italian, French, German, Hebrew, Romanian, Hindi. We have issues with Bengali and Panjabi.
