iRetroPhone - Rotary Dialer App Reviews

Ist Supper!!!!

Works very well and accurately. Good, clean interface. Great to launch when someone asks to borrow your phone :) Well worth the $0.99 it costs, but I wouldnt say it was worth any more than that. I wouldnt suggest the seller raises the price to $2.99 as currently showing in the description (as of Oct 31/08).

Does not sound like any rotary dial phone that I have used.

As a collector of vintage rotary phones this was a cool must-have! The rotary dial even looks like a Western Electric 500. Would have been nice if there were a few more options in terms of the way the dial could look rather than just the 2 available. Also could do with # and * functionality - may be as separate buttons next to the dial.

this app doesnt work!!!!!!

It wouldnt even open then I read the reviews and one person said it says $.99 but you will be charged $4.99 what

This is a fun app, but you shouldnt get it because theres a one just like this thats free. Just saying...

This app is MUCH better than Rotary Dialer, the other retro phone dialer app. Ive tried both, and this one is better because it has sound and the dial stops at the mechanical stop, just like a real phone. This one is worth the money.

Ok, so I got both the free one and this one. This one has the sound of the rotor as well,(unlike the free one) and more importantly, it doesnt mess up and dial the wrong number like the free one. It doesnt have an errase feature yet, but you dont really need one since it works well, and I suppose that this will be in the updated version coming out soon anyway.

Great fun! This beats the free rotary dialer app because this one has sound, and that one doesnt.

This one has sound, and is very accurate. The free one is good for a gag, but this one actually works! I love it. Only complaint is that you have to go back to the home screen and relaunch the program if you make a mistake. That didnt happen very often for me.

Very dissapointed.

Boring, it doesnt have good graphics and all you do is call, and it should be free.

It should give you the option of having the numbers as buttons. That way, you get a cool look to your keypad yet you dont have to actually dial. Howd we survive on the these old phones anyways!

There is now a way to correct a mistake...the screen shot is not current. There is an apple-esque icon (x in a circle) to the right of the number that you can touch to clear the misdial. Its easy and intuitive. Just like reaching up to press those posts that were depressed when you returned the handset to its cradle. The author/programmer appears responsive to our concerns.

In my previous review I complained about a lack of sound. Turns out my sound settings were whacked. They were reset and now the app works like a charm. Nice job by ObjectGraph.

Wonderful fun! It really tickles my funnybone to use "old fashioned" technology on a device as sophisticated as the iPhone. Ive used this since the original version, and appreciate the effort required to build and polish such a "simple" application. This is a "must have" for any "Tech Geek" out there. For those who cannot appreciate the elegance of simplicity, keep your small-minded opinions to yourself. This is a gem worth FAR more than the mere pittance they ask.

I like this app but it needs some upgrades like a back space button I like the free app much better

A nice app good for a laugh, well worth a buck. Would love to see ability to put cell number in middle of dial (or any number of my choosing - thinking of the number I memorized at age 5 years ago). Other than that, perfect for me.

The only thing missing is the feeling when your finger is in a real dial, apart from that everything is retro and fun.
