FEATURES • Contacts — pick any phone number directly from your contacts • Clipboard — detected automatically each time you open the app • Manual entry — type a number without opening your contacts • Dial history — quickly redial recent numbers • Shake to open contacts picker • iCloud sync — rules stay in sync across your devices • Up to 1 prefix and 1 replacer free; Go Pro for unlimited GO PRO A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited prefixes and replacers and removes all ads. GREAT FOR • Staff who dial through a PBX (prepend 9 or 0 to get an outside line) • Frequent international callers (replace + with 00 or a country code) • Anyone whose phone system requires number reformatting before dialling
