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 ?

Β£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.

Great app

Please update this app to iOS 4. Thank you also please change your icon

Best of speed dial apps

Former bberry addict. Tried face-based and T9-based apps. All felt like MORE work rather than less. This one is much better. After 2 days I am already using it more than native phone and contacts apps.

Very useful

Since the upgrade it works and works well!

T9 default option please

Great app. Would love to be able to set T9 as default search though

nice

not to bad

What is happening with these new Apps

Downloaded it twice and it so far does not work, reboot and still does not work, other apps are working fine, so maybe an update would be nice or something is just not loading right... Looks like a good idea if I can get it to work

Just what the iPhone needs

Gets you what you want and how you want it. Love it!
All the options are there and fast. You can even change the background to white if you don't like the black (personally I like the look of the black background).
When I first got the iPhone and I wanted to look in contacts, I was stuck (because I come from a treo with the really easy search option) and have been looking for an app that does exactly this.
Great work, well thought out, you got my vote and my buck. (version 2.0)

Excellent

Does what it is supposed to. Just wish it had a dialer keypad as well so that I could get rid of the iphone dialer. Most used app on my phone nonetheless.

This application is the fix to the iphone's biggest flaw

The built in contact manager and dialer for the iphone is unusable if you have a large phone book. WIth the latest upgrade, search dial makes the iphone usable. I've researched every dialing option available, including voice dialing, one touch apps, etc. This is the only one that truly solves the problem. Apple should consider making this application a standard offering.

Essential app

This is one of my most useful apps. There are lots of people in my contacts whose names I can't recall, but because I've entered comments on them, SearchDial allows me to look them up that way: eg plumber, vet, computer guy, Bob's friend, or whatever else I put in there. IPhone's contact list lacks a useful search feature to do this.
Other apps can do it, but NONE as well as SearchDial.

Developer Idea: PLEASE create a similar "SearchCalendar" app so I can e.g. look for that dentist appt I think is sometime this month!!
(The only way I can do such a search now is to go into Outlook on my desktop.)

Brilliant! Works perfectly.

Works fast, works well and a pleasure to use. Has replaced my iPhone contacts finder on the front screen. Would suggest updating so that newly added contacts are synced automatically, but even if not possible, this remains a truly awesome app. Well done!

Excellent

This is the best "search dial" program so far. The only suggestion I would like to make is to allow the automatic remoal OD the keyboard when scrolling the search result.

does not work sadly

does not find my contacts so a useless con at this stage sadly, also very hard to find support. If anyone can find an email address for support please let me know

When's update coming out

When's the next update coming out for this app

It works

Buy it

Mr.

This meets all expectations in stride. Now if I could only combine this into my Groups app I would have the contact manager the iPhone shouldvhave comecwith in the first place.
