*** FAQ ***
Q: How can I add a new shortcut from my phone's contact list?
A: Long click the 'plus icon' on the main screen. The contact picker will come up to choose a contact.

Q: Something is not working properly. What can I do?
A: If the FAQ does not help, contact me using the 'Feedback' function in "Settings" view or 'Contact Developer' in the Android Market. I will try to support you as soon as possible. If you like this app, please rate it!

Q: What is the difference between the full and the lite version?
A: The lite version has the same features like the full version, except that it is limited to 12 shortcuts and that it does not have the grouping functionality. NO Ads! So please install the lite version first and check if it is running properly on your device!

Q: My contacts do not have caller pictures. Can I nevertheless use SpeedDial?
A: Yes, you can. But having caller pictures is the whole purpose of SpeedDial. If no picture is available, the Android logo and the name of the contact will be displayed.

Q: Settings: What are the 'Shortcuts Group' sliders for?
A: Define the number of visible shortcuts. If you have a set of shortcuts and reduce the number of buttons, the shortcuts will not be deleted, only hidden. After increasing the shortcut count, the shortcuts will be visible again. If the count is set to '0', the view will be skipped if you cycle through your groups.

Q: Settings: Functionality of 'Short/Long Click Action'?
A: If you have set up your contact shortcuts, two main actions can be performed. A short or a long click. By default a short click calls the number stored in the shortcut and a long click opens the context menu to start different actions like call number, send text message, view the contact, send a WhatsApp message, show the contact's address in Google Maps, send Email and also replace, remove or move a shortcut. Short and long click actions can be overwritten with other actions. Please note, if you change the 'Long Click Action', the context menu will not be available anymore. Instead you can use 'Actions' from the main menu.

Q: What is the 'Actions' menu item?
A: Lets you quickly replace, move, rename or remove a shortcut.

Q: What does the Media scanner do?
A: Use the integrated media scanner to scan for files on your phone without unplugging the SD Card. E.g. if you cannot see new pictures in the picture gallery.

Ratings and reviews

I like this speed dialer. It's fairly customizable. It works with Android 12 for me on a Pixel 5A 5G. It's not as highly rated as Speed Dial Widget by Viznext; however, that one charges by the year if you buy the app -- I was advised to buy apps so they don't burn my battery by "calling home" for new ads. And, there's usually better privacy/less likely to sell my data/require invasive permissions. We're so spoiled by paying nothing for apps, but what's a few bucks for those advantages?

Good app. Click on the target person and it does all the calling. I installed it on my phone and, especially my wife's phone. She is disabled, and I want her to be able to easily contact me if need be. This app gets that job done!

Great! Quickest, easiest app I've downloaded! No problems, my pictures came through fine and nothing seems hung up. I was really irritated that the Motorola 6g didn't come with speed dial. thanks for making this app.
