Take your iphone back to the 20th Century.

"And iRetroPhone, the goofiest $2.99 I’ve spent so far, draws an old-fashioned rotary dial on the screen." - Saul Hansell (New York Times - Bits Blog)

why ruin a good thing? the app was great, before... before the update with slick/bland graphics. please, at least for those of us who purchased this for the retro phone look, give us the option of retaining that look.

Disappointing

I've had this since the OG iPhone and was just playing with it today. I miss the strip of paper with my number on it and I would like to see more dials like a straight black Western Electric, a Trimline (with back light), a UK style, and perhaps the original TouchTone with tone and button press. This is still better than ones that cost more.

Update

Please fix! Dials after 3 digits are dialed every time

Not as good anymore

New design is much less retro and cool looking. And there is no longer any way to personalize the dial center like you could in the earlier version.

A must Buy!!!!!!!!

Great sound, great graphics, smooth and works incredibly well. I am having great fun with this app. This reminds me of my childhood , before the touch-tone phones took over telphony.The authentic dial sound is awesome!!!

Says what it does; does what it says...

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.

Love it!

Made this my default dialer. Only drawback is no favorites feature for frequently dialed numbers.

New version ruined the app

This app was all about the look, and you broke it. The old black actual retro look, with the paper slip in the dual with our number, is gone to be replaced by bland graphics as no dial center. I don't use this anymore. Please return to the old look and I'll use it again.
