### 4/5 — Пожелание разработчикам!

*2021-03-09*

Отлично работает, но есть пожелание... Когда например в вашей звонилке набираешь номер, и переключаешься в другое приложение например для того чтобы прочитать этот номер, товозвращаясь набранные цифры уже сбросились и приходится печатать заново. Исправьте!  И тогда можно ставить 5 звезд

*2019-05-20*

초성검색할때 초성들 순서가 삼성폰이나 옛날에 쓰던 폰들의 순서와는 차이가 있는데 그 옵션도 추가해 주시면 많은분들이 더 편하게 사용할수 있을것 같습니다!!

### 5/5 — 자주검색하는 사람 맨위로 나오는거 해주세요

*2019-05-14*

인스타콜 앱 잘사용하고있습니다

예전 애플에서 업데이트 한후부터 번호를 누르면 통화 or취소가 나오는데 그때쯤 부터인지 초성검색으로 자주찾는사람들이 맨위로 나왔는데 가나다순? 으로 변경되었더라고요
자주검색하는 사람 맨위로 나오게 하는 방법은 없나요
