Able to add duplicate numbers

[KinTatHo]

I'm impressed with the app's overall performance. However, I came across something that might need a little tweaking, I feel that as a money lender the add feature should detect phone number duplicates, else if a mistype of the phone number will still allow a new person to be added.

Team's Response

That is true, however currently we feel the design has its benefits as follows:

• Multiple clients could have the same phone number, for instance clients who share an office phone (with extensions).
• If a client does not have a phone number, the user probably needs to enter a dummy one such as 0. Multiple clients with these "dummy numbers" would cause inconvenience to the user if duplicates were not accepted.

However, we will consider implementing a warning that the user is entering a duplicate phone number in future iterations of the app. Thank you for your suggestion!
