FINALLY -- This is the PREMIUM DIALER app everyone’s been waiting for! Never scroll through thousands of contacts again! No need to search your contacts with a qwerty keyboard!

Smart Dial allows you to quickly dial your contacts by spelling their name directly on the number keypad.
(e.g. Dial 6275 for Mark or 826637 for Tanner)


Why Smart Dial?
• No contact sync required. Most dialers sync on start-up which can take up to 10 seconds or more. Start dialing with Smart Dial immediately.
• Large familiar keypad. Why bother with small keys that make dialing more difficult?
• The ONLY dialer with smart logic such as default phone number and recently dialed calls to keep your number of taps to a minimum.


Features:
• NEW! Speed dial. Assign Favorites to keys 0-9. Hold the number to speed dial the contact.
• IMPROVED! Send SMS with the press of a button.
• Find contacts by first and last name
• View contacts by default phone number or other alternative numbers
• Create new contacts immediately when a new phone number is entered
• In-app editing of contact info
• Keypad dialing sound
• Clear searches by holding delete key
• High performance - even if you have over 1000 contacts, search is instant!


HOW TO USE:
Spell your contacts first OR last name with the keypad.
Note: To spell C, there is NO NEED to press 2 three times. Once will do the job.
Tap the down arrow to view next contacts.
Tap the contact name to view alternative phone numbers of that contact.
OR, simply spell the rest of the name!

Pros and cons of Smart Dial app for iPhone and iPad

Smart Dial app good for

I like this app a lot. Nothing too fancy, but much faster to call a contact that the default contact list.
Excellent in terms of functionalities but too slow. If faster would be almost perfect
Substitutes Apple phone dialer completely, in fact its a lot better! Now, with one touch dial it makes iPhone a real cell phone, with all the ease in dialing that you were used to. I was able to delete 4 or 5 app icons I used just to dial. Recommended!
Works great, but it needs recognition of ñ - spanish uses that a lot within names. Ruben Definitly so far better than takephone-i
6 jan 2009,I particularly liked that when you have found the right person, although it shows the name and only the default number, by clicking on the name in the list it opens the contact card, thus you can easily choose the number you would like to call ...would be better if the application also found fragments of names (SCH in RIEMER-SCHUMACHER) and if there was a way to choose any telephone number of a contact. Why not add a arrow right of the name?
iPhone should have this included in the first place. I would happily pay double the price for the superior performance of this app. Fast, clean, truly a Smart Dialer! Developer obviously got it right. No one wants to use a qwerty keyboard to search. Load time is like no other app on the app store, including the native phone app!

Some bad moments

Very usefull dialpad but could you add a search from the phone number Ex: if I type 038967 it should give my all contacts with this numbers in there phone numbers like in WindowsMobile phones
Terrible App, ugly layout. Dont accept copy or paste, ever worse than original iPhone dial interfac
Try figuring this terrible App out. Impossible. Dont even think about buying it.
Crap. Takes forever to load. 4 to 5 seconds! I wish someone had posted this before so I dont waste my money and time. If u can live with the load-up time then the app is good. For me though I was unbearable.
Since 3.0 this app doesnt work anymore. I guess he took the money for this app to develop Ping. Why should we support that app when he will likely do the same thing?
Simply stay away, this app is a joke for $2.99. It does less than I phone 4s! Supremely dumb!
