### 4/5 — Very powerful dialer needing a face lift

*2017-02-19, version 2.1*

I downloaded dozens of calling card and prefix dialers and ultimately decided to keep only this one.

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!

### 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.

### 4/5 — Pls patch up for 10.0.2

*2016-09-28, version 2.0*

Thank you

### 4/5 — Very good app

*2014-04-15, version 1.8*

Though the UI could have been better, this is quite functional.

### 4/5 — Funciona muito bem!

*2012-02-20, version 1.6*

Configurar as regras não é tão intuitivo, mas depois q vc descobre funciona muito bem. Gostaria q funcionasse em segundo plano para alterar os numeros da minha agenda mesmo que eu utilizasse a agenda de contatos diretamente. Uma boa idéia seria fixar a regra que se quer e dai qualquer numero discado seria alterado conforme essa regra.

### 5/5 — Very Good

*2011-03-28, version 1.6*

Just need to get used to set up macros. But after that, a very good app. I recomend.

### 4/5 — Nicely useful

*2010-08-09, version 0*

Just watch out for the order of fields  I had to play around to figure it out  could use documentati

### 4/5 — Very useful for users with special dialing requirements

*2010-07-30, version 0*

I find this app very useful as my dialing requirement changes when roaming between countries.  This tool is specially helpful when roaming with carriers that have VoIP option, by dialing a special prefix, to get lower calling rates.

I found couple of areas that I think the app can become more efficient for users like me:
1. Direct access to the favorite contact list, instead of searching from the complete contact list.  But over time the "recent dialed" list may address most of that requirement.
2. Ability to easily manage which macro gets displayed in the macro selection window on the dialing screen will reduce the requirement to scroll through the long list of macros.

Overall, great job by the app developer.  Useful app.

### 3/5 — Useful utility, but buggy since iPhone 3.0 released

*2009-12-27, version 0*

This useful utility allows me to use a cheap long distance service that requires me to dial different numbers to access long distance calls, depending which city or area code I happen to be in.  This service also requires the entry of a long complex password each time I make a call.  (Yes, I have expressed my concern to Xpresscall about that).

Unfortunately, this app is broken as of iPhone firmware 3.0, and the workaround to make it work is quite time consuming in its own right.

The SMS and Dial buttons no longer work, and the only way to actually use it to make a call is to get the number you want to dial on the screen, and then select the phone number using a very specific clickable area in the text field to allow for the 'copying' of the number.

Once that's done, a person has to go to the iPhone dialer and paste the number in, and press dial.

The password I have to enter for xpresscall is quite long and virtually impossible to remember, so this useful utility is very handy for me.

### 3/5 — Close

*2009-09-30, version 0*

Was overjoyed to see this app until I realized that dialling prefix starting with * cannot work. Can developer fix this? I use prefix *121* for my business travels  alot.

### 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!

### 1/5 — Not Working After iOS 8 update

### 3/5 — Dialing code

*2010-09-08, version 0*

Since I found this app not support to use '#' which  is commonly used in IDD calling prefix, this should be added in order to be well used.
