## What is Call By Color?

Instead of searching a number in your contacts or the lengthy list of favorites this app provides direct access to your 12 most important phone numbers. Call your friends and your family members with a single touch. Use nicknames instead of the full names from the address book.

You can increase the font size up to 64 points to increase the legibility. The app supports also voice over and can read the displayed names. And if you like to change the colors, then just shake your iPhone.

Privacy statement: the names and numbers you store with this app stay on your device. This app doesn't collect any information about you.

Features:
• store up to 12 phone numbers
• initiate phone calls by touching a tile
• swipe up to display the settings
• double-tap a tile to enter name and number
• select an entry from your contacts
• change the name to an individual nickname
• increase the font size for better legibility 
• change colors by shaking your iPhone
• supports voice over
• data privacy
• no ads
• available languages: English, German, French

This app is designed specifically for iPhones and makes use of the phone call capabilities. You can't make phone calls on iPods and iPads.
