### 5/5 — Get it for the Dial Tone!

*2021-04-17, version 1.5*

It’s always worked perfectly for me. The very best part is the Dial Tone!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-10-02, version 1.5*

I accidentally selected this app but figured it might be interesting/nostalgic. I have an iPhone X R with the latest iOS. The rotary dial app DOES NOT work at all. 

After I installed the app I went back and read the reviews and history. It hasn’t been updated in 3+ years. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

### 5/5 — Crashes on open

*2016-08-28, version 1.4*

Crashes

### 1/5 — me

*2016-05-23, version 1.4*

This app does not work with iOS 9.  Shame, a rotary dial would be cool

### 1/5 — It crashes every time.

*2016-04-15, version 1.4*

I cannot use it.

### 2/5 — Ehh👎

*2014-05-08, version 1.4*

I cannot clear #s off the phone after I call someone or get the number wrong

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2012-06-04, version 1.4*

I love rotary phones and this app is so awesome to does exactly what it said an is free it turned my phone into an old fashioned rotary phone I love it... It even sounds like a rotary phone :)

### 5/5 — Works

*2011-05-26, version 1.4*

Did what it said I would do

### 4/5 — Cool app!

*2011-04-27, version 1.4*

Impress your friends with your knowledge of dialing an old fashioned phone. Cool sounds and smooth operation. One improvement could be a delete feature for those of us not savvy enough with a rotary yet

### 4/5 — Just right

*2010-11-23, version 1.4*

Works as it should, clean and simple. Really like the controls, response and sound, very clever. Well done.
