However many times when I open the app, I found that some of my contacts disappear from their position in the dialing grid. Nothing has changed in contacts so I’m wondering if this is a bug that needs to be addressed. And it’s not the same contacts each time, but random ones. Is there something I’m missing?? ### 2/5 — The new update is not so good *2026-02-26, version 3.0.4* I have always loved this app and have recommended it to several people. And I’ve given a previous glowing review. This is an app I purchased because I liked it so much. However, the new update has changed the way you can make a phone call. Before when I opened the app I just tapped the pic of the person I wanted to call. But now, after the app is opened the entire phone screen is taken up with an AD! And there’s a teeny tiny banner across the top of the screen that you have to tap to get out of the AD to let the screen change back to pick your selected call person. This is AWFUL. I didn’t even notice the banner for several days and was just waiting like an idiot for the AD to disappear, which it never did. This seriously negates the love I feel for this app - adding another tap and trying with my myopic eyesight to see that tiny banner is infuriating. For shame what you’ve done. ### 4/5 — Arun *2025-12-18, version 3.0.2* Arun ### 2/5 — Upgrades *2025-09-25, version 3.0.2* Should be a little better if you can grouping the contacts by friends, work, family, others, etc... also instead of pressing one option that you can give us to decide its to swipe to call to call or txt or whatsapp... will be awsome Also there must be an option to choose if one click should be for caliing or txt for each person ### 3/5 — Not Worth The Price *2025-03-27, version 3.0.2* No option to sort the widgets on the favorite pages, no ability to make a call in a single press, and no display contact numbers with the contact names on the pages. ### 3/5 — Вполне добротная разработка *2025-02-22, version 3.0.2* В таком виде как она сделана функционирует отлично. Прекрасная возможность выбора понятного языка. Спасибо и успехов вам🌹во всём, уважаемый разработчик и пользователи. 22 февраля 25г, дополняю отзыв. Снижаю оценку из-за невозможности нормально пользоваться этим хорошим приложением — наглая, долгая и очень неприятная реклама достала. Вынужденно удаляю прочь. ### 4/5 — Bien *2025-01-31, version 3.0.2* Bien ### 2/5 — Need more info *2025-01-22, version 3.0.2* I was looking for a good replacement app to the iPhone phone app. I don’t see where this can be selected as a default dialer. The multiple à la carte add-ons is rather stupid. ### 2/5 — App review *2024-08-19, version 3.0.2* I think the app has a lot of potential, but the constant ads even after buying premium is beyond annoying. Please fix this! It makes the app useless ### 4/5 — Correct *2023-12-31, version 3.0.2* Dommage qu’on ne puisse pas mettre plus de 10 contacts ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update ruined due to ads!! *2026-02-22, version 3.0.4* Update with ads is TERRIBLE!! Either offer a paid version with no ads or get rid of the ads! You RUINED a great app!!! ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-02-13, version 3.0.3* Paid to remove ads and there are MORE ads than ever!!! ### 1/5 — No Ads Not true *2026-02-07, version 3.0.3* I paid for no ads but still coming and feedback not allowed I need my money back ### 1/5 — Datenschutz *2026-02-07, version 3.0.3* Hallo, ich hatte mich gefreut und bin irritiert. Kontakte lassen sich nur ’voll' freigeben nicht beschränkt. Whatsappdial will mich auf Business Version von WA umziehen lassen und greift mich auf meine WA zurück. Habe ich was falsch verstanden? Oder? ### 1/5 — Broken update with ads *2026-02-06, version 3.0.3* Don’t update to the latest version because it will force full screen ads back to your app even u already purchased it and the developer is not responding to email too. ### 1/5 — No WhatsApp calls *2025-08-13, version 3.0.2* No direct WhatsApp calls ### 1/5 — Extension not working *2024-11-07, version 3.0.2* I have bought in app purchase of speed dial extension widget but it says not purchased …. How to rectify my problem… whom to address it too?? ### 1/5 — 4 *2024-10-07, version 3.0.2* 4 ### 1/5 — Berbat *2024-09-17, version 3.0.2* Parasını ödedim uygulama çok berbat hem de sürekli reklam izliyorum. Yazıklar olsun ### 1/5 — Nothing happens *2024-04-20, version 3.0.2* Some seconds and "close" . Rien ne se passe. L'écran d'accueil avec logo demeure affiche qqs secondes et disparaît . Très impressionnant 🤨 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — You will like this one *2025-11-29, version 3.0.2* Great app easy to use love it. ### 5/5 — Needs Improvement *2025-03-28, version 3.0.2* A very good concept, and principle, but needs to be simplified and perfected. ### 5/5 — Great speed dial *2025-03-27, version 3.0.2* I have had a Speed Dial for years that I used on a daily basis. I have a newer phone and had a problem with it so I had to reset it. When I did so, the old Speed Dial would not save the contacts. I looked in the App Store and found this one. It works great, better than the old one. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-11-30, version 3.0.2* So very convenient! ### 5/5 — Review *2024-11-28, version 3.0.2* Very good app ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-11-27, version 3.0.2* I really need this. I think its almost perfect. Only thing that needs changed is the edit button at the top takes up to much area. Make that smaller where it doesn’t take up so much space. ### 5/5 — Dial *2024-10-31, version 3.0.2* One of the best baby doll I ever use, consistent love it ### 5/5 — It’s a great app! *2024-07-14, version 3.0.2* 👍🏾 ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-05-24, version 3.0.2* I been using it for while and love it ### 5/5 — Good app *2024-05-06, version 3.0.2* Very useful. I purchased it added more pages and found useful on my iPhone. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
