### 5/5 — The Best

*2024-11-09, version 1.4*

Naprawdę fajny jest i jedyny który można spersonalizować aż do 12 pozycji robi robotę oby tak dalej

### 5/5 — Good widget but..

*2023-09-23*

It’s a really good widget, but i wish it wouldn’t take you to the app when you tap to make a phone call.

Now that IOS 17 allows interactive widgets are you planning to make this widget interactive as well?

**Developer response:** Thank you but it is not possible with iOS 14.

### 5/5 — Polecam.

*2023-02-21, version 1.4*

Jedyna wada jest taka, że po zakończonej rozmowie aplikacja przenosi ekran do swoich ustawień zamiast powrócić do ekranu startowego.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work?

*2023-01-19*

There are no favourite contacts available to choose even though they are set up in the phone. It hasn’t been updated for a year so may be a version compatibility issue with iOS 16.2?

### 5/5 — 👍

*2021-12-30*

Simple and easy. Great app

### 4/5 — Photo

*2021-12-20, version 1.4*

Bonjour quand je mets le widget contacte la photo du favoris ne s’affiche pas et je n’arrive pas à le modifier

### 1/5 — Belle présentation

*2021-10-24, version 1.4*

Malheureusement si j’appuie sur le contact impossible de l’appeler !! Comment faire ????? ???????
Ne pas acheter ! Installation trop compliquée

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2021-10-02, version 1.4*

Thanks for creating it😁 not sure if possible but it would be nice if the contact images could be made a little bit bigger? Maybe like in the contact app or something like that. Thanks for respecting the user privacy 👍 
Bought the pro version to support devs that creates fantastic apps like this one

### 1/5 — Elp

*2021-07-25, version 1.4*

Bonjour. Je ne trouve pas l’application dans la liste après avoir appuyé sur + pour ajouter widget 🤔😩

### 2/5 — Déçu

*2021-04-11, version 1.4*

Payant après 2 contacts favoris : ne sert à rien.
Dans la présentation du produit il serai plus honnête de préciser que l appli est payante à partir de 2 contacts . On éviterai les chargements inutiles. Les développeurs on j espère d autres arguments pour leurs renumeration.
