I click on a name and it brings me to edit. Please fix!!!! ### 1/5 — Used to work. Now a waste. Sorry. *2021-02-13, version 6.0.0* This app is no longer user friendly. Period. ### 2/5 — Speed Dial app by Devarajan G *2021-01-08, version 6.0.0* DEVELOPERS PROMPT RESPONSE Sorry for the inconvenience. The update was not meant to be for existing users. You should be able to restore from iTunes back up of your devices APPLE SUPPORT SUGGESTION Apple support advised me that the suggested would not work and suggested that the developer have a separate app identified as the 220 and 2020 yet and another app identified as a 2021 AM. I would be more than happy to pay for the 2020 app please excuse some of the typos as I dictated PREVIOUS REVIEW What a mistake just yesterday and January 3 the developer updated the app from the previous app that existed for years. The new app deleted all of the contact information but most importantly changed the entire formatting and the amount of available speed dials I am hoping that somebody knows how to contact the developer or how to revert back to the app that existed prior to January 3, 2021. Any help would be appreciated ### 2/5 — What Happened????? *2021-01-05, version 6.0.0* This was one of my favorite apps. Now I need to start from scratch.....all my contacts are gone! & the names don’t fit in the boxes. ### 1/5 — Wow *2021-01-03, version 6.0.0* Please go back. I don’t want to find another speed dial app this thing was great you really screwed it up do away with the update ### 1/5 — Stopped working from latest update *2017-05-11, version 5.0* Worked great until the lat update. Thanks for ruining my app ### 1/5 — Not working *2017-05-10, version 5.0* I've been waiting for the update for so long, and now the app stopped working!! So frustrating!! The app is now working with the in-app purchase, you can now go to SMS and WhatsApp directly from the app to the contact and this is great, but the calls are not working correctly!! It sends a message with the phone number, like it started to do before the update!! This is very annoying!! I hope you can fix this!! ### 5/5 — FABULOUS! *2017-05-10, version 5.0* Very easy and simple to use. Can store many speed dial numbers. I highly recommend this app. Unlike other apps that require you to push a button once to choose the Speed Dial and then another button to call, this one does both in one button push. Great app! ### 1/5 — ... *2017-05-10, version 5.0* I am about to delete this app. The upgrade is not good at all. Used the old version for years and was quite happy with it. Anyway to get the old version back? ### 5/5 — iOS & Speed Dial 5.0 *2017-05-10, version 5.0* A great app but since latest update it won't work at all. Update 10/05/2017 Speedy update from developer so back to 5* rating ## Frequently asked questions about Speed Dial ### What does this app do?
