The part of this screen that really matters is the green “+” topped by a Santa Claus hat. Now you see a nice snowy scene, putting you in the mood for Christmas cards. Whether you’re importing names and addresses from your iPhone’s existing contacts, or adding them directly to Address Labels & Envelopes’ data, you start by tapping the name of the list (you will see a nice reminder, in red type, saying “Tap to add names.”) For example, you have a contact on your iPhone for “Joe Smith.” You want to print a label for him but you want it to say “The Smith Family.” Address Labels & Envelopes lets you do that for the label while leaving the original contact untouched– because the Address Labels & Envelopes data is a copy.) It doesn’t “share” data from Contacts– it’s a one-way, one-time “pull.” This is a huge plus, as it lets you make changes to the mailing labels after you’ve pulled in the names, without messing up your iPhone’s contacts. (It is important to recognize that Address Labels & Envelopes “pulls in” data from the Contacts app.

In this way, your iPhone will “know” about these new addresses, making them available for Maps and other apps that use location data. Then let Address Labels & Envelopes pull them in. If you’re going to type in addresses, it’s better for you to type them into the Contacts app on the iPhone or iPad rather than directly into Address Labels & Envelopes. The second way is to enter the names yourself, for Address Labels & Envelopes’ exclusive use (harder). The first way is to copy names and addresses from your iPhone’s Contacts app (easy). Address Labels & Envelopes gives us two ways to do it. Now we want to put some names into our list.
