At the moment Clay comes across as "the right idea", pretty high on the front-end design although basics like where to find 'Settings' aren't easy to find or navigate.

After integration with 2x Google accounts and LinkedIn, there is no progress meter on whether sync has occurred, and over an hour later no change apart from some contacts appearing from recently written outbound Gmail emails.

The two Google connections are shown twice in settings with an email and calendar icon beside them but not a contacts icon which again seems unusual considering the app is about contacts.

The strength of the idea seems to be based around updated data across your multiple contact sources having Clay as a hub. The app can then give you a sense of when your contact update their contact information or 'move address', however, the help section indicates that sources aren't regularly synced and updates may happen every few months or even a year.

When looking at connections in the settings there are no visual or text indicators of which have been synced, are in progress or when they were last synced to the app.

This seems to run counter-intuitive to the basis of Clay's primary strength about being an up-to-date picture of your relationships and which ones are current, hot, and need reconnection. I kind of felt the promise of Clay was like lead scoring for your personal relationship matrix.

Launching with a beta Windows app but not an Android app (and none in planning) to go with the web offering seems premature for this kind of application.

Hoping for better so will keep running a for longer and review.
