### 4/5 — Easy to Use

*2021-01-25*

I like this app but Since I only use it for calling I would like  to be able to tap contact icon to initiate the call as opposed to tapping the icon and then having to tap the phone symbol. Not sure if there’s a way to do that but I haven’t figured it out.

### 3/5 — Looks simple enough

*2021-01-11*

I thought I would try this since I miss my favorites so much. Looks easy enough but when I try to resize and add a a widget, I can’t. Went to settings and couldn’t open anything to show how to in stall as a widget just a tiny icon. I’ll still give it a try .

### 4/5 — Good App

*2020-11-01*

Good App for ios 14 and easy to use ♥️

### 3/5 — Reorder not work

*2020-10-23*

Reorder not work 
Can't hide title in setting(Only hide lable)
Telegram link only open app
What's the pro version ?

### 4/5 — IOS 14 please!

*2020-10-16*

Great way for quick access to favorites. Please update to create Widget in iOS 14.

### 2/5 — am i missing something?

*2020-10-09, version 1.5*

adds contacts just fine but can’t seem to add it as a widget for ios 14 as promised

### 4/5 — Not bad better than default favorites

*2020-10-08*

My only problem is you can't reorder them even though you go to the reorder section I can only delete.....

### 3/5 — Good as long as YOU don’t screw it up

*2019-05-10*

Native favorites on iPhone are limited to eight and specific actions, you have to double-add to call AND text. With this widget I have all 16, er 18. There is one huge problem: there is no known way to remove contacts! Once it’s in the best you can do is limit them to a location that you never plan to visit. I attempted to contact the author and haven’t heard back. I’d be happy to pay a few bucks for this app if it wasn’t partially broken. Worth using if you’re initially patient. You can choose options PER contact.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! :) 

There is a way to delete your contacts:
1.) Open the App.
2.) Go to the reorder section (from the main screen the reorder button on the bottom right).
3.) Tap the red delete icon on the left side of a contact.

Hope that helps and a update is coming ;)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!

*2021-05-15, version 1.5*

I paid 99p but I just can’t get this app to work.  When you search for the widget to add to your screen, it isn’t there!  Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Crashes when adding favourites

*2021-01-24*

I was going to give it a go but looks like one cannot even add a contact as the app crashes. 

Also there is no privacy details mentioned by the developer so I will be very careful in sharing those details.

### 5/5 — Aplicación

*2020-10-09, version 1.5*

Excelente

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-10-02*

Really better than apple favorite in ios 13

### 5/5 — The best I’ve tried

*2020-01-09*

I agree with other raters that it would be good to have a way of deleting a contact but I found a decent work around. I just limit WHEN the problem contact shows up. Mine will only appear on the list on a Saturday from 1am to 1:10am. I will never see it! 

I  did this because I really like this app and the options it gives. I can change color of contact, name, picture, and what contact options should show when I touch the icon. I don't use Facebook or Whatsapp etc. so I just just show call only or text only or both call and text.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! :) 

There is a way to delete your contacts:
1.) Open the App.
2.) Go to the reorder section (from the main screen the reorder button on the bottom right).
3.) Tap the red delete icon on the left side of a contact.

Hope that helps!
