## What is Portrait Caller?

Portrait Caller allows you to easily and rapidly phone your favorite contacts via tapping on an image of them. Users are able to import up to 50 contacts (with the option to upgrade to 75 with Premium edition) that are viewable on a scrollable screen, either in a condensed list view or larger tile view. 

Users who struggle to find their favorite contacts or may have used non-descriptive names when adding their contacts will find this app invaluable. You'll no longer need to scroll through a list of names/numbers to find and phone your friends and family!

Contact entries can be added to the call pane via two primary methods:

* Imported directly from the device's contact library
* Manually specified within Portrait Caller

Users are offered the full native searching capabilities of contacts in iOS when importing from the device. Imported contacts by default will be presented with their first name (if found), phone number and default contact image (also if found). A stock image will be applied if no contact photo is found, which can be updated at any point afterwards with an image from the device's photo library.  

Any contacts added to the call pane can be reordered through unlocking the cells and moved via simple press-and-drag up and down through the screen. If enabled, contacts can also be added to filter groups for more convenient usage. 

Note that Portrait Caller DOES NOT modify or remove actual contacts from your device library. No signup or registration is required to use Portrait Caller. Also please note that any usual call rates will still apply and VoIP is not supported.
