*2014-01-01, version 1.2.3*

The ui interface still somehow simple , its cannot be compared with other shinny dial app but it simply does the best with its amazing speed , I gave 5 stars bc of its supper fast speed with dial - Just touch or wipe 
release some themes and this app will be the best

### 5/5 — Icaller

*2013-12-18, version 1.2.3*

It's a good app I love it to deep helps me on the go I can message people quick and call quick.

### 4/5 — Good

*2013-12-16, version 1.2.3*

It does what it says it has some very nice features wish could be my default or at least show missed calls and such so I wouldn't have to ever actually open my apple phone app

### 4/5 — Interesting

*2013-11-27, version 1.2.3*

Seems really interesting, makes dialing experience altogether different and easy.

### 4/5 — Not too bad

*2013-10-08, version 1.2.3*

Needs option to 'don't save call history' and be able to pick single number for favorites

### 4/5 — FAVOURITE CALL APP!

*2013-09-27, version 1.2.2*

Love the app. Been using it almost for two years now. Simple and elegant. Never needed the original phone app since I started using iCaller! However, it's about time you guys give the UI some fresh feel. Everything else is simple great!! 👍

### 5/5 — Fabulous!

*2013-09-22, version 1.2.1*

This app makes my life soooooo much easier. Especially when I was used to using this on my flip phone for years. It was harder for me to constantly search through my 456 contacts w the IPhone. 
Thanks app creator!

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2013-09-11, version 1.2.1*

It's make every thing easy and you can hide Contacts with a Password

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2013-09-09, version 1.2.1*

Adds a feature ios lacks: shows contacts matching the number as you dials.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Low rating due to bug....

*2018-12-29, version 2.0.6*

I’ve been using this app for years. It’s perfect in every way but has a nasty occasional bug. Hence the reason for the low rating. Fixed this app gets 5*

When clicking on a favorite to call most often after a start up or when the app has not been run yet - nothing happens. You have to repeat the process to call a favorite multiple times. It’s almost like the app is not yet ready or it’s conversation with the iPhone contacts app is having problems. 

I have over 800 contacts so it could be that. But there should be some kind of ui feedback as to what happened or is happening.

### 1/5 — Calling

*2017-03-29, version 2.0.1*

This app still requires you to click "call" after you have typed the numbers or word you want and click call. 

Another screen comes up and says Call xxx-xxx-xxxx after you already clicked call 

This while not very time consuming is not desirable if I click call it should call. There is no point to have an additional screen come up re asking me if I want to call.

### 1/5 — Most contacts don't come through

*2013-01-31, version 1.1.8*

I would have given them 2 stars because even though this flaw presently makes this app unusable, it looks like a bug that probably could be fixed without much problem in the future, and then I'll be happy to use the app. I usually feel guilty when I give an app I got for free one star, except for one reason: I'm almost certain they've totally stuffed their reviews with phones reviews which makes my blood boil. Check out the tell-tale signs: a slew of reviews all posted on one day that are all incredibly short, glowing, and 5-star only. You know, we're not idiots out there! We can smell them out like rotten eggs, folks. I look for apps that have in general 4- 4 1/2 stars with detailed reviews that are thoughtful, positive and sometimes have constructive criticism. I only downloaded this app because if it were the real deal it would be a great help. Well, you're not quite there, but shame on you for packing deceptive
and fake reviews!

### 2/5 — Not Working

*2013-04-30, version 1.1.9*

The layout of the app is great. However I cant get the app to make any calls. It says "tap to call" when i enter a phone number. So when i try to tap the number, it highlights the phone number when my finger is on the screen and then goes back to normal when I release my finger. I even tried making a phone call from my favorite contacts and when I press the call button nothing happened. I would give five stars if they fix this problem for me.

### 3/5 — Plz update the app for iphone 6 & 6 plus screen size

*2015-08-21, version 2.0.1*

Plz update the app for iphone 6 & 6 plus screen size, it's been a year since releasing these iphones but the app hasn't been optimized for these iphones screens!!!

### 3/5 — This App is really good

*2013-08-11, version 1.2.1*

This app is promising!
I enjoy the feature that lets you push a contact to immediately dial!

I do however believe that the app could be improved on the GUI Department!

### 3/5 — Almost perfect (missing buttons and glitch)

*2013-04-10, version 1.1.8*

Missing the star (*) and pound (#) buttons. There is also a glitch. There is a different language in the info/setting>favorites>view even though the language is set to english.

### 3/5 — Little buggy

*2013-03-24, version 1.1.8*

Sounds don't work when app is first launched, but will if closed then relaunched. Also when I swipe to text, app will often lock up for a minute. Otherwise adds a MUCH needed feature to iOS.

### 4/5 — Edit contact

*2021-04-16, version 2.0.6*

Phonebook editing is having trouble on iOS 14.4
Exits the program with editing

### 4/5 — Very good app but needs to update

*2020-12-06, version 2.0.6*

Need to update for latest iPhone

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-12-02, version 2.0.6*

Great app. Does exactly what it is supposed to. But iOS 14 disabled the speed dial function.  I wish there would be an update . Just tried all other t9 dialers on App Store and they are all too complex and not efficient

### 5/5 — Great for contact search

*2020-09-25, version 2.0.6*

I would throw this iPhone in the trash for another galaxy if it wasn’t for this app. I only wish it would show calls I make from google when I have to look up a number, and of course I have to look in other dealer for incoming calls, last iPhone I’ll EVER own bc of the dialer.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-06-16, version 2.0.6*

Been using this app for years, ever since having an iPhone.  Solves the problem of quickly dialing people.  Only downside was any new update seemed to delete your quick dial settings.  But there haven’t been any updates in a while so this isn’t an issue!!!

### 5/5 — It’s a good app

*2018-01-01, version 2.0.3*

I like it because it’s very helpful for me

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2016-01-10, version 2.0.1*

You can dial by name!  Simple and it works!

Two minor gripes:
1. Press and hold for speed dial requires waaaaaay too long of a hold. About 1/3 of the time would be much better. 

2. Incoming calls (e.g.missed calls) don't appear in the call list. I know...it's Apple protecting us. 

It's the best I've seen so far.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2015-03-28, version 2.0.0*

Smooth with clear interface👍

### 5/5 — Works well

*2015-03-10, version 2.0.0*

It's amazing that this is an is not a native Apple app. It actually works very well. The most recent update is fantastic, the designers really brought this to state of the art app design. I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2015-03-08, version 2.0.0*

Still great, can't live without T9 contact lookup, why this feature isn't stock on all iPhones blows me away, thanks for this great time saving contact dialer app! Clean design too, and nice intro tutorial

### 5/5 — Best dialling and contact search app

*2014-11-29, version 1.2.5*

I am using this iCaller app from long duration and I found it the best application for t9 input dialler and contact search application. 
It makes very easy search contacts in vary types as by typing no or typing name 1st name last name any part of the name or no or city name or country. 
I am very happy with this. 
My iPhone is never complete without iCaller app.

### 5/5 — Blow iOS dialer out of the water

*2014-04-06, version 1.2.3*

I stop using iOS default dialer since downloaded this app.
