Not bad but needs work
The dialer should stop when you hit the dial stop bar.
The scraping sound it makes when you first touch the screen is odd.
You should hear the sound of gears sliding past one another as you dial.
The image of the phone from the 1940’s should be replaced with a good old standard AT&T rotary phone from the 1970’s, after all phones from the 70’s/80’s are what you are basing this app on and how many people who recall using a phone from the 1940’s are using an iPhone.

Update bug
Update is screwed up. Dials after three numbers and the rotary doesn't always rotate. I too hope it gets fixed soon
Update - . Bug is fixed. App is now great fun again. I went back to 4 stars

Automatically dials after 3 numbers?
Cute idea but, for some reaon, this tries to connect after I've dialed 3 numbers... Went to the website but don't see a way to get support...
Update is screwing up!!
Hey. This was great when I first got it. A lot of fun. But since the update where this can auto dial from my contacts list is not working. If I dial the # myself It is only allow 3 numbers to dial then is goes buserk. Not working please fix before I delete.
Retro
Works great 10 out of 10 great app
Works perfectly, looks good
Works very well and accurately. Good, clean interface. Great to launch when someone asks to borrow your phone :)
Well worth the $0.99 it costs, but I wouldn't say it was worth any more than that. I wouldn't suggest the seller raises the price to $2.99 as currently showing in the description (as of Oct 31/08).

Retro is as retro phone does
The only thing missing is the feeling when your finger is in a real dial, apart from that everything is retro and fun.
Says what it does; does what it says...
A nice app good for a laugh, well worth a buck. Would love to see ability to put cell number in middle of dial (or any number of my choosing - thinking of the number I memorized at age 5 years ago). Other than that, perfect for me.
The Ultimate Incongruous Application
Wonderful fun! It really tickles my funnybone to use "old fashioned" technology on a device as sophisticated as the iPhone. I've used this since the original version, and appreciate the effort required to build and polish such a "simple" application. This is a "must have" for any "Tech Geek" out there. For those who cannot appreciate the elegance of simplicity, keep your small-minded opinions to yourself. This is a gem worth FAR more than the mere pittance they ask.

No sound...correction
In my previous review I complained about a lack of sound. Turns out my sound settings were whacked. They were reset and now the app works like a charm. Nice job by ObjectGraph.
