I built this simply but helpful speed dial app for my father. He kept getting lost in the phone app. Therefore, the user guidance is deliberately designed to be simple and catchy. You can make both phone calls and FaceTime calls (video or audio only). No confusing options, no "nifty" abbreviations of abbreviations. Start SpeedDial, tap on a name and start the call. My wife was so excited that SHE has been using SpeedDial very intensively since then. Therefore, it is not only a support for elderly people who find it difficult to use modern user interfaces, but also and especially something for people who simply want to reach the 9 most important people in their lives with a fingertip. SpeedDial only has two screen pages. There are one to nine short dial entries on the main page.  The entries automatically make the best possible use of the available space. They are colorfully designed so that they are more catchy. You can set up the entries on the second page.  You only need the names and the associated phone numbers. If you do not want to use all of the nine possible entries, you simply leave the name slot empty. Entries without a name are not displayed on the main page. It's that easy... ... and the space saved will be used for the other entries, which then get more display space. Supports VoiceOver. Important: For security reasons, IOS does not allow any app to simply call a number. Therefore, a short question always appears when a phone call is intended. This can be answered immediately with a short tap. This security question is a very useful function and does not interfere. Have fun..
