Call the people who matter with one tap on their photo — the beloved speed dial of classic mobile phones, reinvented for your iPhone. Assign your favorite contacts to positions on a rotatable 3D wall and reach them instantly: call, text, WhatsApp, Signal, email or FaceTime. • QUICK AND EASY 1x tap to call. 2x tap to text (SMS/iMessage). 3x tap to WhatsApp. 4x tap to email. 5x tap to FaceTime. You can change what each tap count does in Settings (including Signal), or long-press a contact for a menu with all its actions. You can even make single contacts always use WhatsApp for calls. • NO NUMBERS REQUIRED The app reuses the contacts already stored on your iPhone — no retyping numbers, email addresses or photos. If you change a contact in the Contacts app, the wall updates automatically. IMPORTANT: That is why Quick Fav Dial needs access to your contacts! Without access, the app cannot work and will forget all assignments after a restart (you can fix this later in your iPhone's Privacy settings). • ASSIGN SINGLE ACTION (NEW) Dedicate a position to exactly one action — e.g. "always WhatsApp Grandma" — no matter how often you tap. • UP TO 48 POSITIONS & 3D SCROLLING Enough space to visually group family, friends and colleagues in their own areas. Fast horizontal 3D scrolling — now also in landscape. • MULTIPLE ASSIGNMENTS By default the app stores the first phone number and email address of a contact. Want a different one? Enable "manual field selection" in Settings or assign the same contact to a second position — the app will ask which number or email to use (email texting enables iMessage instead of SMS). • COLOR THEMES & DARK MODE Twenty-one designs to match the display to your style. Prefer extra large photo buttons (e.g. for seniors or visual impairments)? Check out Quick Fav Dial XL.
