What's New

The dialplate-rotating is now more smoothly then before.

App Description

Do you remember what it was like to literally dial your fingers to the bone, when you had to turn the dial plate over and over again? That era began just after you had to be connected by the friendly lady on the switchboard at the telephone exchange.

That is all in the past now, but with this App you can re-live that dial-plate-feeling. By dialling on your screen, a smooth vibration allows you to feel the contact to the mechanical transmission. As the dial plate returns to its original position, an authentic, audible rattling perfects the retro feeling. In addition, as you dial, the dialled number is compared to your iPhone address book and the contact is displayed as soon as it is recognised. In that way you know that you are on the right track. Touching the centre of the dial plate opens the iPhone address book to allow direct dialling. The sound as well as the vibration can be deactivated to prevent others from being disturbed.

This app is a must-have for all retro-style fans who want to revive those good old times.
