The new release includes fixes for several bugs * Fixes for webOS 1.4 release * Pictures will automatically update * Fix for "Unknown" contact text problem
Does not work on Pre 2
I have used this app daily for over 1 year...multiple times daily...with no problems.
Awesome app but as of right now it keeps deleting my contacts
Not working on my Palm Pre2
Great app ! I have had it for 2 years and had absolutely no problems.

This app is always trying to install on my phone..... I can't get it to stop. Every time I restart, I get an error message saying the install of this prgram failed.
Great speead dial app
Having trouble downloading apps..says it's loading,but does not...help
Great app
This is a great app. Makes it really easy to call my wife on the way home from work.
Great app. Innovative.
Now we're talking...
My HTC Touch has this feature and I sorely missed it after switching to the Pre. FANTASTIC! Thanks for this app...absolutely love it!
I like it a lot. Needs an button to add contacts on the main screen, and a way to identify people with no photo.
Great app! I prefer the grid view, but would like to have the contact name shown in this view. My brother and his wife have the same facebook photo for their profile...except I can't tell which one I'm calling.
4 stars because it is only useful if every contact you put in has a pic. If there is no pic, it shows nothing. If you choose text only, it shows 'mobile' instead of persons name. Its ok, but would like the option to show contact name if no pic is avail.
I like it. We needed something like this so we wouldn't have to go thru the whole contact list all the time. Kinda on the basic side, like said below, but it's a start in the right direction. Thank you.
Now let's please get some more functional updates and/or apps to add abilities like this one. Let's get this "smartphone", smart.
Don't 4get -- If this is gonna b a smartphone, we should b able to type and see SMS in landscape too. (Otherwise, what good is a rotating screen?) (besides pix & web)
So far so good. I like not having to open the keypad to dail my primary contacts.
Best pre app yet. Useful, fun, nice interface. Well done Cardinal Peak.
Great useful app, a definite must have for the pre keep them coming.
Love it! Easy & fast dialing (speed dialing) at one touch of a button.
Awesome app! Very useful!***As for not having a contact photo-take a picture of the persons name(or however you want to identify them) and then save that as their contact photo.
This app is pretty awsome and convenient, espeachially since it take forever to go through contacts the normal way. My only problem is when I do custom background it just lags real bad(it gets slow) other than that I'm happy with this.really cool!
Ahhh man!! Now we rollin. This is a super useful app!
Awsum app lets keep um commin hopefully updates will make perfect
Nice app .... Good to see the apps start to roll in
Great app didn't really like sliding the phone open all the time good alternative
OH YEAH!! THIS IS CUTE! NO COMPLAINTS HERE..
Excellent app!
Perfect! This will help me get rid of the buggy speed dial on WebOS!
Cool concept but by the time the app loads and search through pics you could be already talking to the person by just typing there name in...
Cool! Nice idea!
Nice! This reminds me of the Ultimate Phone app I bought for my Treo... It does need a "take new picture" option... It still not as fast as typing the name in. Still it's a good app!
I love this !! My whole family has a pre and we all think this is awesome !! It might be my favorite app so far but its hard to pick :)
would be great if you could use the link straight from the home screen.
This is like haveing a speed dial pretty cool
Awesome app, this is what a dialer should be!
Very cool app, it does take a very small amount of time to open.
To delete a contact, go to phone dialer, select list view and slide contact to the left and delete
Useful, except I couldn't fill the screen-so now I know what a loser I am. Thanks palm-thanks
PhotoDialer is a better idea than it is a program. It's not bad, it's just not great. Frankly the Homebrew "QuickContacts" is a simlar and better program. QC does the same one touch dialing with photo icons but also gets you into texting, contacts and the phone instantly within the same program.
I love this app it drives me crazy when I have to open everything just to make a call thanks!
Pretty. BUt its too slow too open an app to dial a number. Too clumsy. I prefer the Homebrew app "Launchpad" for this. You can create photo icons for favorite contacts right on you desktop. I arrange my programs on the left and my photo contacts on the right desktop. Icons can be assigned for quick texting too! (Too bad the Pre's basic contacts app doesn't include a Favorites photo window. That would be perfect.)
Great app. We needed something like this.
Cool app but it needs some work. I would love to be able to arrange contacts in the grid view as well as have the option to tap the contact and have it ask me which number to call rather than just having to set one single number for that spot. I give it 4 stars because it does work well and I like that I can set my own background.
Excellent
Graphics suck. Pointless app. Not a fan.
Decent start but too basic. Suggestions, allow to group contacts, allow to add text option.
I like it. Very convenient. Kind of like speed dial but you don't have to remember each person's code.
Love app but I love the developers more, they care about their product and making the users happy. Thanks, I will get use of this.
Good so far. Zoom/crop of custom background didn't work. Big improvement would be addition of contacts and dialer shortcuts like the Quick Dialer homebrew app has. Thanks!
now that's what i'm talking about. Something useful.
I like this! Great app! Enough said
Nice app does what it says but somewhat pointless considering you can add contacts to your launcher just like apps, so I have a launcher page just for frequent contacts so I can pull that up much faster than phone dialer will load
PhotoDialer, where have you been? Finally an app we can use!
If you change the preferences to list view you can change the order by dragging... Or sliding it to the left or right to delete it. I like this app a lot.
An app in the right direction
I like this app but they need 2 come out with more great app like this next they should work on video and fowardin txt message also visual voice mail and sprint music store I hate the 1 they have on here now you have 2 have wifi 2 download how stupid give me back my sprint music store..lol
Nice...useful app.
Great start. Few suggestions, drag and drop re-organizing and deleting. Also like said befor make some way to display text or picture in grid mode
This appt is very productived.
I like this, very helpful. Now if they can add text that would be great!!
Very cool idea, but it takes too long to open to be useful. It's still faster to type a name with the keyboard. Also, minor issue but it would be nice to be able to rearrange and delete icons in grid mode, similar to how the launcher works.
Some of the best apps are the simple ones that increase convenience.
Genius idea!
Ya Quick Contacts is better (and it is one touch. You just have to change it in settings). I don't have pictures of everyone but remembering who the blank squares are wouldn't be that hard I guess.
Lov it ! Liked that I can change the background ... Just need a option now to display names on grid settings. On list setting you can hold and drag to rearange contacts. Swipe to delete in list view. Took me about 5min or less to figure it out.
OMG I love it better then speed dial
Good app - works nicely & straight forward
This has to be one of the best apps yet. Works well and easy to set up-makes me want to run out and take pictures of everyone I talk to!
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST APPS THAT PRE HAS TO OFFER..matter of fact it IS the best one..so convient..now all of my fav contacts are all together..f### speed dial..(picture dial) lol..love it
How do I put someone on the list?
Pretty basic right now, but makes speed dialing so much nicer & easier. I have 2 issues. First, if you don't have a pic assigned to a contact, it gives you a white pawn with no name in grid view. Second, it would be nice if you could sms from this app.
This app is awesome! Better then speed dial.
How do you delete a person off of the list...anyone email me back
Awesome app! This idea should have been included as part of the Pre webOS. Makes things so easy!
Wonderful application. Works well and saves me from pulling out the keyboard. I love the list option, plus the ability to use my own background. By the way, just sweep right to delete.

Really great!
Great update!!! More essential features added. Now I can remove the original "dialer" app from my quick launch bar, and solely us this one :-)

Would love to be able to drag and re-arange contacts.
Useless app for me. I already have speed dial which is faster
Very cool.
I really wanted to love this app, but it actually makes dialing slower. The app takes longer to load than than the dialer, and it still uses the dialer to call out. It is very nice looking, but not very practical yet. Stick to assigning speed dials to your contacts and long pressing on the virtual dialer.
Not bad for a first effort
this made my pre worth it. I had this feature on my old HTC Touch and really missed it. Thought it was the only thing lacking from the pre..... But not anymore!!!!!
Just what I was looking for.
This has made my phone look above par. The Pre is the sexiest phone bar none and when I added the Rocketfish clear case that I bought from Best Buy, tethered my phone, got My Notification, and used the list view with a beautiful background and took a screen shot thus using that screen shot AZZZZZZZZ my background, I can honestly say I have one of the hottest top ten phones in the world. Mostly due to this application alone :-)
Great, great idea. But it takes as long to launch as the phone app, and is kind of a waste of an open window for those who make calls relatively infrequently. If they could make it a comprehensive dialer, or include a link in the phone app, that would make it much more useful. Probably perfect for those who make calls all the time.
Its a good app, did you know that the Pre already had this feature? I've been using it since July.
Great app. Since its hard to find the speed dial this is great. you CAN Delete And Reorganize. Just go to the help section and follow the directions. Its easy.
One of the greatest and most useful apps yet. Fantastic.
I love it. This is just what the Pre needed. I am so happy I could scream
The best app so far, this made me feel relaxed that I got the pre because at first I was at the boarderline of returning this phone. Not anymore, bring out more useful great apps pre.
Great app I can't wait for everybody to start jumping on board and make more apps for me and all Pre owners to enjoy!!!
This is a very convinient and reliable app. Kudos!!! :)
yay
Genius!
Pretty nice app. As mentioned before the loader page with contacts is faster but can take up a lot of room. Maybe once I can add launcher pages this will become obsolete. Only bug I see so far...if I have a custom backgroung I can't change it. I must go to the default bg first, then select custom again to pick another one.
Very cool!
Dis kool
Sweet!
