ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dialer holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dialer has 74 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Dialer's written reviews are positive against 67% of Hello Card Dialer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dialer ships an update every 5 months, Hello Card Dialer every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
