Great features, needs an update!

I haven't seen an update for this app in months. Needs iOS4 multitasking support and please support the ipad too.

Backs up address book - PERFECT

1. It backs up contacts for use when native address book crashes - not uncommon if you are using MS Exchange and off wifi.
2. Super speedy search including notes.
3. Wish it could export contacts back to address book or save them as CSV

Thank you.

It's ok

But there is better for your money

My issues with this app are:

When opening the app I don't need to know who made the app and what version the app is at....if this is going to replace A standard dialer why would anyone need to know that info on startup every time ?

£1.19 for less that 500 k of app ??

Check out either callway or phonexl ( phonexl being my favourtite dialer)

Former Blackberry guy

Were you a dyed in the wool Blackberry person? Did you, like me, hesitate to get the iphone because it was such a hassle to find the number you want to call? This app makes iphone work just like the Blackberry. You spell the name and all the numbers come up just like the BB did. Tap it and it dials away, or texts or emails if you tell it to.
If you add a contact you need
to refresh the Searchdial to import it.
This is a GREAT app and wprth every nickel.
