Perhaps I an being naive, but I do think that there must be an easy way to keep my list of contact synchronised across multiple platforms.
However that does not seem to be the case.
Typically one has to export the contacts as a CSV file and then import that file upon which one is presented with a questionaire as to how to map the various entries.
Is there no other way?

All my contacts are on my Google account. They automatically sync on all my devices. If you use a 3rd party app, you must grant it access to your Google account, so it can sync and update all the contacts automatically.

Doesn't work with Skype or Hotmail.

However, I have just discovered that my email app, Mailbird, can do all that I want to do.
