The update to version 0.9996 of SpringDial finally makes it compatible with my iPhone!! I was soooo sad when version 0.9994 did not work!! This is one of my Top Ten Apps! The only visual change to the app is in the News Section. There is a poll in which you can pick one of three icons that you think should be SpringDial’s new icon. I also noticed that when you create a speed-dial for a contact that does not have a photo assigned to them, it now puts the stock Phone icon for that speed-dial. In previous versions is used the SpringDial app icon for a contact with no photo. I’m honestly not sure which I liked better. I personally am not a huge fan of the stock Phone icon so, I guess I would have to say I liked it better when it was the SpringDial icon. Though, that could get confusing too…maybe I will just SSH in my own image! Or I guess I could assign my contact a photo! Other than that, version 0.9996 fixed a couple of bugs allowing it to work for those of you (including me) who couldn’t get the previous version to work! I am still waiting for the update that changes the speed-dial icons so they have rounded edges…they look slightly tacky all square and what not! SpringDial is available through the Ste Packaging source.

Since the last time I did a review of SpringDial there have been a few options added. Once the app is open…there are two new options on the lower menu bar; Donate and News. The app actually opens to the News page. It just gives you info about SpringDial and Disclaimer. Other than that, there are no changes in the functionality of the app. However, I can’t seem to get this version to work. Every time I create a SpeedDial, it says that it has been created but when I close the app it makes my iPhone act all crazy (flashing white screen…not good!). Once I finally get it back the the SpringBoard, the speeddial wasn’t created…it shows up in the Delete section of that app (meaning it thinks it is created) but it doesn’t show up on my SpringBoard. This makes me very sad because I LOVE this app!! It was actually number 6 on my Top Ten Apps List. Hopefully we will see an update soon. SpringDial is available through the Ste Packaging source.

This app is really sweet! SpringDial allows you to add a photo speed dial to your SpringBoard. When you open the app you will get a list of all your contacts. If you have more than one number for a contact it will list each number separately for that contact…just tap on the contact (and their number) you would like to add to your SpringBoard. You will get a little pop-up giving you a warning about the 80 app limit (read it carefully) and then you will get a pop-up where you can enter what you would like the contact titled as on your SpringBoard and one more pop-up asking if it is ok to create the speed dial. After you have entered all the information and have tapped OK…you will be brought back to your contact list. From here you can either add another speed dial or you can check out some of the other options like Feedback and Spring Mode. You can also delete previously created speed dials by selecting Delete in the upper right corner. Once you have all your speed dials entered you can close the app by tapping the Home button, your SpringBoard will restart and you will see your new speed dials on your SpringBoard! If your contacts do not have a picture set for them…it will just use the SpringDial icon for that contact. To call the contact…just tap on their pic! This app is super easy to use and works perfectly for me on 1.1.1 and on a 1.1.4. SpringDial is available through the Ste Packaging source. Below are the screenshots.
