NOT SO. It’s doesn’t work!! ### 3/5 — Needs to fix stuff *2016-05-21, version 1.1* When I choose the whatsapp option it does not take me directly to chat with that contact, it only opens whatsapp and I need to search for the contact ### 3/5 — Great, but.... *2016-01-25, version 1.1* I cannot get rid of WhatsApp option... I don't even have WhatsApp on my phone it honestly it begs a question how they know specific contact uses WhatsApp since this bug does not show on all contacts ### 2/5 — Don't purchase *2015-10-03, version 1.1* Payed for the upgrade can't get rid of what's app option after my purchase. Contacted developer but they must not have email in Germany because he don't respond. I found and paid for a better app now and uninstalled this. Sad I'm still out the money. ### 1/5 — Gold Package *2015-09-22, version 1.0* I upgraded to the Gold Package and it will not complete installing. It just sits there and spins even after they were happy to take my money. I am losing patience. ### 1/5 — Can't upgrade *2015-09-20, version 1.0* Free version allows 3 favourite's and that works fine. Tried to upgrade to Gold and says payment made but app won't update/upgrade. Has frozen on me and thrown me out three times. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Doesn't Work *2015-09-19, version 1.0* The free version is great. Upgraded or rather paid for the Gold Version on the app store but it doesn't upgrade. Tried restarting the app, turning the phone off, nothing works. ### 1/5 — Not happy *2015-08-21, version 1.0* It didn't work for me 😒 I thought I could use it for my most called contacts but the call button doesn't work on it . Deleting ! ### 1/5 — Does not support gsm codes *2015-08-16, version 1.0* Gsm codes do not work such as *31# or *67 ### 2/5 — Great idea, terrible app *2015-06-06, version 1.0* The concept is great, but needs integration with Telegram. The design needs some polishing, like the ability to resize contact icons (they are too big if I want a few). The app performance is buggy. So far, not worth the in app purchases. ### 1/5 — Crashes with some contacts *2015-05-31, version 1.0* Works with some contacts but for others crashes when I try to add them. Can not use it. ### 4/5 — Good app *2015-04-06, version 1.0* I don't use first name in my contacts so when i try to add a contact that doesn't have a first name the app get close. Please fix that ### 1/5 — Miki *2015-04-03, version 1.0* Bad only 3 free contakts. ### 4/5 — Pretty cool but there's a couple annoyances *2015-03-31, version 1.0* Overall I really like the widget, I think it looks good, and works well. I like that I can manually rearrange contacts. I have two annoyances: 1) FaceTime audio is not supported, and I'm not sure why... It's something I utilize heavily and for it to not be incorporated is a bummer. 2) On a few of my contacts, the WhatsApp option appears, I don't use WhatsApp.. 2/5 contacts I have are displaying a WhatsApp option and I can't figure out why. When I check the contact settings under the FavContacts app, WhatsApp isn't even an option. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No way to delete a contact *2020-11-02, version 1.2* The instructions for deleting a contact do not work. When I try to press the x in the corner, the screen goes back to how it looked in the beginning. ### 1/5 — Very Disappointed *2019-02-17, version 1.2* This app is likely a “Data Mining” tool. Don’t get sucked into downloading it!!!! “Tips and Tricks” couldn’t possibly have done their research before recommending this app !!!! This is a Bogus app!!!! ### 1/5 — Stay away *2018-05-07, version 1.2* This App is as bad as it gets!!!!! ### 1/5 — App *2017-03-06, version 1.2* Rubbish ### 1/5 — Only allows 3 contacts! *2017-02-19, version 1.2* This app only allows you to save three contacts before it starts charging you to add more... what a rip off! I would NEVER recommend this app to anyone I know, that's for sure. ### 1/5 — Mala *2016-07-22, version 1.1* Creo que perdí mi dinero no encuentro la forma de hacerla funcionar ### 1/5 — Crashes when using special characters *2015-12-03, version 1.1* I have several numbers that start with asterisks. For example, *73 or *721234567890 This app crashes when I try to select the number in my contacts. ### 1/5 — App sight in German...no help to be had *2015-09-30, version 1.1* Be aware!!! Free is only 3 contacts. When I bought gold upgrade it didn't work AND app sight for "help" is all in German. Complained to Apple for money back but have received nothing from them either. ### 1/5 — Not working *2015-09-23, version 1.0* IOS 9 eliminated favorites bar. Bought app and gold upgrade to replace feature. Even with gold, app will not support more than 3 contacts. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work! *2015-09-22, version 1.0* Seems like it would work great...IF THE UPGRADE WOULD ACTUALLY WORK! It took my $$ and never let me add more contacts. Just spins! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very easy to tap the action button very nice *2016-10-26, version 1.2* Very good ### 5/5 — Iraq *2015-12-27, version 1.1* Very Good ### 5/5 — This app is a must, I have been searching for this. Thanks *2015-06-23, version 1.0* 😀 ### 5/5 — Update *2015-06-06, version 1.0* Plz Update WhatsApp not work anymore :( ### 5/5 — Perfect!!! *2015-03-28, version 1.0* I've been waiting for this type of widget for quite a while. It does exactly what it says it does. Easy and fast. It's now at the top of my Notification Center. Perfect!!! Note: to remove or change a contact, hold down the contact you want to change from inside the app until it wiggles. You can then delete or change it. ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2015-03-28, version 1.0* Amazingly cool app would love to see Skype, Viber or Facebook options in future updates, keep up the good work👍👏👏👏 ### 5/5 — Nice widget *2015-03-27, version 1.0* It's perfect and does exactly what it says. Love it, just put it straight to the top of my notifications!!! ### 5/5 — Valeri *2015-03-27, version 1.0* Very good!!! ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing! *2015-03-27, version 1.0* I've been waiting for something like this for a long time and now it's finally here! With a swipe to bring the Notification Center down from anywhere I can call my favorites even from the lock screen! No more exiting apps to place a call! I love it! ### 4/5 — Love it, but doesn’t justify the price. *2017-10-06, version 1.2* Love it, but doesn’t justify the price. iPhone can easily make the same app (static) included in the phone. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
