Review summary

Users praise the app for being easy to set up and great for quick calls/texts, with fast access and a solid replacement for Dialist. However, multiple reviews flag intrusive ads that persist even after premium, and a usability friction where dialing requires additional taps rather than a single tap.

Pros

Easy to set up and use with a simple interface.
Very convenient for making quick calls and texts.
Fast access to contacts from the dialing widget.
Good replacement for the old Dialist/Speed Dial app and works well.

Cons

Intrusive ads introduced in updates, including full-screen ads and banners, which significantly hinder the user experience.
Ads persist even after paying for premium; the app still shows ads and this degrades usability.
Dialing requires extra taps; no single-tap call action is available.

2026-04-16	Co*****	This is seemingly a very good app, taking the place of Dialist which is no longer available. However many times when I open the app, I found that some of my contacts disappear from their position in the dialing grid. Nothing has changed in contacts so I’m wondering if this is a bug that needs to be addressed. And it’s not the same contacts each time, but random ones. Is there something I’m missing??

2026-02-26	El*****	I have always loved this app and have recommended it to several people. And I’ve given a previous glowing review. This is an app I purchased because I liked it so much. However, the new update has changed the way you can make a phone call. Before when I opened the app I just tapped the pic of the person I wanted to call. But now, after the app is opened the entire phone screen is taken up with an AD! And there’s a teeny tiny banner across the top of the screen that you have to tap to get out of the AD to let the screen change back to pick your selected call person. This is AWFUL. I didn’t even notice the banner for several days and was just waiting like an idiot for the AD to disappear, which it never did. This seriously negates the love I feel for this app - adding another tap and trying with my myopic eyesight to see that tiny banner is infuriating. For shame what you’ve done.

2025-09-25	Ja*****	Should be a little better if you can grouping the contacts by friends, work, family, others, etc... also instead of pressing one option that you can give us to decide its to swipe to call to call or txt or whatsapp... will be awsome Also there must be an option to choose if one click should be for caliing or txt for each person

2025-03-27	Sj*****	I have had a Speed Dial for years that I used on a daily basis. I have a newer phone and had a problem with it so I had to reset it. When I did so, the old Speed Dial would not save the contacts. I looked in the App Store and found this one. It works great, better than the old one.

2025-03-27	Le*****	No option to sort the widgets on the favorite pages, no ability to make a call in a single press, and no display contact numbers with the contact names on the pages.

2025-01-22	Ms*****	I was looking for a good replacement app to the iPhone phone app. I don’t see where this can be selected as a default dialer. The multiple à la carte add-ons is rather stupid.
