Speed Dial

Cool Photo Speed Dial lets you see photos of your friends, family and other people you call frequently, then contact them with just two taps - one on the photo and one to choose the type of call (phone, FaceTime, texting or email).

It turns your iPhone into the graphical, visual phone it truly wants to be!

OBSOLETE: Apple have (finally) added the bulk of the features of this app to the iOS base operating system, so this app has now been retired. It is no longer available or supported.
