Where is one touch dialing?

(Update; doesn’t work for me. I’m a dummy that needs directions). I hit the icon and then I then get a button at the bottom of my screen “call xxx xxx xxxx”. That is two touches. There is a comment in each address config that says there is a way to one touch dial, but I can’t find how to enable it and this app seems to be a figure it out yourself kinda thing. It’s a one star rating simply to get my question answered.

Just what I was looking for...almost

I have never reviewed an app before but this one was worth my time. I tried out a Samsung for two days - that's all I could stand! And while I could get almost every app on it - it still sucked! The ONLY thing that I liked about it was the ability to add my favorite contacts to the home screen. This widget is the closest thing I have found that will allow me easy access to the people I call and text regularly. Just wish it could be on the home screen and not just a widget!

Disappointed

I installed this app when this convenience was removed with the iOS 14 update. I was so happy to find this app. When I installed it, I loved it. I would click on the contact and the action options would slide to the side. However, I paid for premium to have 3D Touch and it isn’t working. There are now MORE steps required to make a call then before. I don’t know why this app was updated if it made it worse. It was definitely 5 stars before. Now, I give it 1 star because I paid for premium and I am not getting what is advertised. In addition, it’s now less convenient because of all the steps you have to take to make a call. I hope this issue is resolved soon!

Great widget. Use it all the time.

I have been a user of the free version for several years and recently opted for the paid version, especially for the Home Screen widget. Unfortunately due to Apple’s implementation for these widgets the app has to actually open when dialing etc. Until this changes by Apple I removed the Home Screen version and went back to the classic version. Reverting back to the traditional widget was easy by selecting Edit on that screen and adding it back in. What I really like in the paid version is the pop up ability to dial etc. instantly. The paid Home Screen version is really nice and allows some nice personalization... too bad Apple requires a direct launch that defeats the purpose for me.

Does what it says it does.

It effectively resolves the issue of stupid iOS 14 getting rid of the speed dial widget. However, I didn’t rate the app 5 stars because there’s an added message when you use the app for texting that you have to delete (you have to pay $2 to get rid of it). I also don’t like how I have to use 3D Touch to make calls. I wish the app would use 3D Touch to open up options besides calling such as texting and emailing.

Missing premium features

I paid for the premium version to have 3D Touch to make a call. It has now been removed with this recent update. It now requires further steps to call someone rather than a two step. It also doesn’t allow me to select the classic widget which is advertised within the app. It was far better before the update. It would be nice to get the previous options back, especially if people paid for the premium version. Prior to that, the app was a 5 star. It’s 3 or 4 for now.

This application could go to next level if developer would communicate with users

Thank You for the continued updates but this application has more room to shine. I reached out to developer a few times as a pro user who bought application but still no communication. * Allow for us to set custom widget backgrounds from wall per to give transparent affect. * Allow user to customize color of folder bubble besides that default grey. * Within application allow for grid view of contacts instead of just list view. * Make background of communication option popup within application black. Installed on iPhone 14 with latest iOS and unable to restore purchase. Reached out to developer multiple times with no reply.

Great app

I love this app for fast dialing your most frequent contacts. More customization than iOS favorites and quick to react.I have to add an addendum at this point. Ever since ios11 came out the widget collapses and cuts off half of the bottom row of contacts no matter what size you make them. It also does not fast dial any more when you 3D hard press your contact. It instead brings up a box that asks if you want to call this number and you ha e to hit “yes” to place the call which completely defeats the 3D Touch dial. Until the developer fixes this it is just slightly better that the built in favorites widget.

My “Favorite” App.

Love this app!! I’ve been using it for a few years and it’s always been in my home screen. It’s a must for people that have the need to quickly dial/text. After the last update I had some minor issues but when I emailed them they responded quickly with a 2 second fix and I was back up an running! Hope they come out with more user friendly apps that make your life easier.

Not the same, but it is something if you want to see the face bubble

It’s not a 1-touch dial. 1st I tried making a shortcut & put it as a widget, and yes it will dial w/ 1-touch, but I didn't like their name as just text & not see the bubble w/ their face (I like seeing my grandma’s smiling face when I call her everyday). So I downloaded this & it looks almost the same as before however it isn’t 1-touch. You click the face & then it brings up option to call, facetime, whatsapp etc so that’s why I took off a star. I took off a 2nd star bc I only use 4 contacts (it looks like you can do up to 10 on widget, I’m just saying that bc my 4 take up spots in the widget as if they are 4 of 10, vs just showing them as just the 4, or 4 out of 5 if they are using 5 across in the widget). And paying $1.99 to upgrade to possibly change them to make bigger in the widget is crazy when that at least should be in the free section. If they want to make you pay for the 1-touch option or other added features, that I understand. If they give the option of paying for 1-touch (even tho it’s unlikely I’d pay unless it was cheap) Or give ability to adjust the number of contacts to make widget smaller or fill the widget space, I will adjust rating as well.
