Dialvetica Contacts App Reviews

Version 2.2.1 fixed the SMS issue. Devs respond quickly to email and work with you to pinpoint bugs. Overall, a fantastic and useful app.

This is an app that makes you wonder why Apple didnt come up with it first. It is fast, clean and sold. When my hands are full or Im in a hurry and need a number fast…this is the only way I get there.

Dialvetica is the best way to contact someone fast, whether by phone, SMS, or email. Ill use Siri if I cant type, but Dialvetica gets the message out faster.

When I got my first iPhone, I was shocked at how long it took to find and dial a contact. With my old dumbphone, I could simply T9 in part of a name after unlocking the phone, with no intermediate steps. Dialvetica comes about as close as it can without being built into Springboard. The pea green clashes badly with Apples emerald green, which makes it painful for me to put this in my dock. Its difficult to press the buttons on the right-hand side. I wonder if theyre using Apples gesture recognizers or their own algorithm. It may be simply that the table cells are so short. I get the modernist look theyre going for, but it needs a few more iterations, especially in order to blend in with the operating system and not be jarring to switch to. Overall, its a great idea and a useful app. But it needs a little more work.

Very reliable. Super quick access to people you contact frequently and where you contact them.

This app is for QUICKLY contacting contacts (phone, email, SMS) You begin typing a first or last name and it finds the contact in a Tap or 3 Heck you can even type a letter from the last name and then one from the first name and it can locate the contact - it doesnt matter the order of typing. (healthy ;) Ie Im looking for "JAMIE HUEWETT" I type: H, T, J, I and it finds it. Im sure it would be only 2 or 3 letters but am just giving an example here If u typed: J, T, T It would find it immediately Im sure because 2 ts are rare with a j. * YES. ITS LIGHTENING FAST * YES. IT ALWAYS WORKS * NO. IT NEVER CRASHES * YES. THE SUPPORT TEAM IS ALWAYS AN EMAIL AWAY. (but u wont need them with this basic app) RECOMMENDATION: try another app by this developer - they make THE BEST CALENDAR APPS in the AppStore Get) Calvetica (Super ultra Powerful. Easy to learn but vastly feature rich. Unique. My go to calendar daily.) Or Get) Calvetica Classic (simpler. Just as cool. This was the original "Calvetica" before it got more powerful. People LOVE the Classic version so much that they brought it back. I have both) OR "Tempus" - a newer calendar. Simple. Basic. I like the more powerful calendars. This one appears to be A LOT like "Agenda" Ive read. But I dont know. I dont like Agenda and have never tried Tempus. CALVETICA IS TGE WAY TO GO. POWERFUL OR CLASSIC!! supports ALL Cal types. Google/iCal etc Katie is your PERSONAL Customer Service GURU. I LOVE HER!!! Calvetica is WAY more important to me than Dialvetica in daily life but DIALVETICA is like Calvetica - Unique/truly unique(1of a KIND) and IT JUST WORKS (BETTER THAN YOUD expect Dont think. Get these apps. Seriously. Combined Id pay $3-$5 to NOT have to WONDER if I have THE BEST CALENDAR AND DIALER (4-get a "T-9" DIALER. Too slow. For real)

Just look what Buzz Contact have done and that will be very helpful. The app has got old and the competition has already done wonders for such apps. Hopefully we will see something more updated sometime soon...!

Works just as advertised. It has changed the way I use my iPhone.

Fast and minimalist.

This is not a feature-rich contact manager; all it does is get you to the contact you need very, very quickly. If thats what youre looking for, youll love this little app. I put this on my dock immediately and, with the exception of voicemail, I no longer use the native phone app (or built in contacts app) for anything.

Its almost there. You can access phone, SMS and email easily enough, but not the address. The inability to send a contacts address to the Maps app is pretty much a deal killer for me because it means I STILL have to use the iOS Contacts app as well... and if I have to do that then why am I using this? It seems this wouldnt be so hard to add. But its not a feature. Color me disappointed.

I got this app after relying on Calvetica for so long. It was in my dock that day. My favorite feature is that I can customize which SMS and dial app to open either automatically or per contact. This allows me to toggle between my mobile and GV number while still using one app. It is fast. It never crashes. These design(velopers) create apps that make my daily iPhone experience better. Thanks.

I had hoped this would replace Contacts completely and it mostly has. But Ive noticed two things that would be great to change for both ipad and iphone (I use it far more on iphone): 1. (most important) Sometimes the contact search doesnt work as well as Id hope. This usually happens when the contact has common letters and so the list doesnt winnow down very well. This is understandable -- but at that point (or even at the outset of a search), there should be an option to switch to an exact spelling-style search of the kind Contacts does. Would that be hard to add? Hope not. 2. If a search reveals multiple names and i go to click one but hit the wrong one, I click back. But then what happens is the search I just conducted is immediately reset. Wish there was a way to avoid this outcome. Is some fix possible? BTW I love Calvetica too. Thanks for a great app with beautiful design.

This app is far too limited to be an every day game changing experience. I love Calvetica, which is a game changer. It is the only calendar I use on my phone. Dialvetica simply isnt built to allow you to make it your only phone/contacts app. The app works fast, but this doesnt equate to saving time. It rarely brings up what Im looking for in a quick and efficient manner. After typing a few letters, its still cumbersome to find what you are looking for, amongst all of the options that it does bring up. I guess if you call someone often, it might remember them (get smarter), but then why not just add them as a favorite in the phone app? A lot of the time this app doesnt bring to the top what I am looking for. Ive owned the app for a while and have tried to use it. I simply cant find a way to do so. It also receives zero love from the developers. It hasnt received many updates. My 2 stars is generous since I love Calvetica.

Come on guys... Its time for an iPhone 5 update.

Seriously? This should be extremely simple to update.

Ive had Dialvetica in my dock for months. Its an all-around great app. I only wish it supported the iPhone 5 screen size.

Love the app, been using it for years. Huge advocate, I show everyone this amazing app-guys I need some iPhone 5 support. Get with it!

Love this app. Replaces my phone app and Messages app.

But I still love how focused this app is. No frills, bells or whistles. Looks great & feels great. Super fast look up. Select call, text or email, & boom: start talking or typing.
