### 4/5 — Great app, but it’s kinda tricky to learn how to put contacts in favorites in. I’m computer illitera

*2026-06-12, version 5.5.4*

Very good. Computer illiterate. If I can, you can.

### 3/5 — Transparency

*2026-02-11, version 5.5.2*

No transparency background

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2025-12-02, version 5.5.2*

Developer has done a great job staying on top of keeping this app updated and functional as best as possible. Recent update takes away the need for the Shortcuts app to launch in order to in touch dial someone.  Only slight downside is that now it requires one additional touch to speed dial your contact. But it’s now a lot cleaner since it doesn’t require multiple apps to auto launch in order to one touch dial someone.

### 3/5 — Midom

*2025-11-23, version 5.5.1*

Wszystko było ok nie wiem co się stało ale teraz za każdym razem gdy chce wybrać kontakt wyskakuje mi okno z moimi dwoma numerami do wyboru , za każdym razem muszę klikać i wybierać właściwy numer to bardzo irytuje

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-08-05, version 5.4.0*

This does exactly what I was looking for. Didn’t work to start and I’d seen a review saying they had to pay for it to work but for a one off £2 I didn’t ming as other free apps didn’t seem to do WhatsApp for Lock Screen. Still didn’t work so checked my phone software was up to date and voila! Works perfectly 😊

### 4/5 — Manca badge

*2024-04-07, version 5.4.0*

L’app sembra funzionare bene, ma purtroppo sulle icone dei contatti preferiti non compare alcun badge di notifica, per me il disagio riguarda soprattutto i messaggi whatsapp non letti. Sarebbe fantastico se si potesse avere questa funzione! Grazie

### 2/5 — Text size issues

*2024-03-09, version 5.4.0*

I had great hopes for this app, but it does not respect font size settings. Nor does it offer font size options of its own. Result: unusable.

### 4/5 — So Close to Perfect

*2023-11-14, version 5.4.0*

First off, I love this app for the simple fact I can add groups. I text groups often so that feature alone makes this invaluable to me. My only complaint, and the thing holding me back from giving it that final star is I wish there were the ability to add multiple widgets or alternately widgets bigger than ten contacts. I absolutely need more space than ten. Love the app, just need more room/more widgets!

### 2/5 — Really helps me

*2023-10-12, version 5.4.0*

I love it! Helps me find the people that I will contact quickly

### 2/5 — Cool app but..

*2023-07-01, version 5.4.0*

No way to submit support request.
The function of clicking a contact and not having the Favorites app open does not work. It opens favorites app then gives a list of contact options. The UI of the youtube video and tutorial is MUCH cleaner where it gives the options to contact within the widget.

### 3/5 — Update

*2023-03-12, version 5.4.0*

Application is great but can you please make new update? Since iPhone 14 pro and latest software where the is dynamic island, dynamic island freezes every time I call somebody. It is very bothering. I already sent you email and no respond.

### 1/5 — Latest IOS 16.3

*2023-01-26, version 5.4.0*

With the latest update to 16.3 the notification in the Dynamic Island on IPhone 14 pro does not remove after call and need to manually be stopped :(

### 1/5 — Hızlı arama?

*2023-01-09, version 5.4.0*

Ana ekrana widget getirmişsiniz güzel ama dokununca arama özelliği istiyoruz, tanıtım videonuzda dokunduğunda arıyor ama indirdiğimiz uygulamada bu özellik yok, labirent gibi seçenekler çıkıp duruyor. Lütfen düzeltin.👎🏻

### 1/5 — Purchased premium, widgets now missing

*2026-03-01, version 5.5.2*

Can only have (1) widget. Should be able to have multiple widgets with different contacts. Bought premium thinking it would offer multiple widgets but now there’s nothing. Uninstalled, reinstalled, still nothing. No widgets available

### 1/5 — Worst idea ever!!!!

*2026-01-05, version 5.5.2*

Why did Apple do this?

### 1/5 — Отзив

*2025-12-19, version 5.5.2*

Преди актуализацията беше по лесен за използване

### 1/5 — What happened to Groups

*2025-12-03, version 5.5.2*

You can create a group but cannot message entire group. With this recent update, group’s individuals must messaged separately. Am I doing something wrong? To me, this defeats the purpose of having a group contact. This is very disappointing. Any fix? Please advise.

### 1/5 — Can’t add more than one contact to lockscreen .

*2025-02-27, version 5.4.0*

Despite buying in app features it will only allow me to add one persons face and contact information to my Home Screen . I’m able to multiple to favourites within the app but only one appears for selection when customising my lock screen .

### 1/5 — Kein Mehrwert

*2024-06-29, version 5.4.0*

Nach dem Kauf auf die Pro Version ändert sich nichts. Man hat weiterhin die gleichen Möglichkeiten der Kontakte. Sorry aber nur wegen einer Anrufmöglichkeit für WhatsApp lohnt sich der Kauf nicht. Ich hätte gerne das Widget von WhatsApp, welches in der Vorschau auch die Chats zeigt, gehabt

### 1/5 — Widget not appearing

*2024-04-08, version 5.4.0*

Installed, but not appearing in the list of available widgets…I am on the latest version of iOS

### 1/5 — Basinca aramiyor

*2024-03-21, version 5.4.0*

Basinca direk aramasi icin indirdim ama telefon no gosteriyor. Tek numara da olsa tekrar numaraya basamniz gerekiyor. Sildim

### 1/5 — No sé utilizarlo

*2024-03-21, version 5.4.0*

Quiero poner mi widget y no puedo 👎

### 1/5 — Nie działa na iPhone 15 iOS 17.0.3

*2024-01-31, version 5.4.0*

Widget aplikacji jest, można ustawić kontakt, ale ani na ekranie blokady, ani na ekranie głównym śnie można ustawić widgetu. Aplikacja nie jest widoczna w widgetach

### 5/5 — Makes my life easier

*2024-11-03, version 5.4.0*

This app makes contacting your loved ones and close network right in front!

### 5/5 — Wonderful app.. are additional contacts possible?

*2024-07-07, version 5.4.0*

I’ve been using this app for many years and I absolutely love it. Is there any thoughts of upgrading it past the 5 “touch “ contacts?  I would happily pay for an additional 2-5 contacts to be added.  It is literally my favorite app on my phone.

### 5/5 — Signal?

*2024-03-25, version 5.4.0*

Highly sophisticated application. I would still like Signal.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2024-03-25, version 5.4.0*

One of my biggest regrets from switching to iphone was the loss of my contacts widget. This one is perfect, it's just the right size, easy peasy to reach out to my favorite contacts. I definitely recommend👍

### 5/5 — Easy

*2023-10-22, version 5.4.0*

Faster and quicker access

### 5/5 — Great for those who need assistance dialing

*2023-08-13, version 5.4.0*

Downloaded the pro version to test for my dad.  He is aging and has trouble dialing an iPhone.  Creating the widget and placing it alone on the home page is helpful. The enhanced quick call is a life saver for him.  I hope you will consider an option to make the icons and text larger.  This will help anyone who has trouble seeing and clicking the current icon/text sizes.

### 5/5 — I paid for the premium in with this upgrade on my Apple phone. It deleted my premium, not good.

*2023-07-28, version 5.4.0*

I paid for the premium and with this last upgrade of my iPhone it disappeared. Please fix this problem.

### 5/5 — Message widget

*2023-01-03, version 5.4.0*

Love it

### 5/5 — Yannis

*2022-11-12, version 5.4.0*

Ios16

### 5/5 — User Friendly

*2022-08-06, version 5.3.8*

Easy to use and very helpful
