This application is very powerful, and allows prefixed, suffixes, dial digit replacements, pauses, etc. In a nutshell, it can do everything you might want to do when dialing numbers with calling cards, Skype to go numbers, using your phone I'm a foreign country that won't allow country codes to be used in dial sequence, or which requires local prefixes to be done. I am incredibly happy with its functionality. It does everything I want it to do and works with ios 10. However there is significant room for improvement in the looks of the application, and the instructions. The application is not intuitive and most people will probably give up. It requires a bit of basic programming mentality in the configuration of the macros, and some playing around to learn to use it. But if you do, I promise you that this is it! This is the one you have been looking for. Developer. Consider polishing the interface to make it nicer looking. Also, can you make a command available that does a replacement (example "+") only in the first instance following the command? Right now it applies rules to the entire dial string and it makes creation of the macro more difficult. However overall it's great. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Crashes *2016-12-03, version 2.1* Its very convenient & needed utility. There's No alternative to it on the iStore Unfortunately keeps crashing when using a Contact that's linked to iCloud and Google ### 4/5 — Great app *2016-12-02, version 2.1* Finally working better and more stable. Functionality is good, user interface can be further simplified - especially the macros. ### 2/5 — The update caused the app to crash on iOS 10 *2016-10-21, version 2.1* Please fix it. ### 4/5 — Pls patch up for 10.0.2 *2016-09-28, version 2.0* Thank you ### 5/5 — Can't use on iOS 9.3 *2016-05-17, version 2.0* Please update ### 1/5 — complicated !! *2016-04-18, version 2.0* This app is so complicated!! .. Im trying to make a micro to replace the manual data inputs for calling cards ( create calling card profile> dial calling card number > pause > enter card PIN > pause > select a contact form phone contact list > replace + with 011 > make the call). Couldn't do it ! I rather do it manually! ### 5/5 — iOS9対応 *2015-12-28, version 2.0* iOS9でも問題無く動きます。 自分でマクロを組めるので、 海外でも日本でも大変重宝します。 ### 5/5 — Super versátil e fácil de configurar *2015-11-01, version 2.0* Com poucos toques é possível mudar os códigos das operadoras, configurar chamadas locais ou a cobrar e o que mais precisar. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-12-26, version 1.9.1* This is simple & useful app, even Apple doesn't know. ## Frequently asked questions about Macro Dial ### How does Macro Dial help with international calls?
