“I just love goofy little apps like Rotary Dialer, which lets you actually dial your iPhone by sticking your finger into the onscreen holes of an old-style, rotary dial phone.” - David Pogue, NY Times
“Some are simply goofy, like a virtual Star Wars-like lightsaber, a rotary-phone dialer and a virtual 'stapler.'" - Walter Mossberg and Katherine Boehret, The Wall Street Journal

Whiners God forbid you should shell out a dollar... This app is awesome. - Rotary Dialer review by Arthur Vandelay
Fun! Just got this & I think it's totally fun! I think it's worth the one time buck to be able to show my parents & grandma & have them appreciate it. My Nanna might actually even be willing to use my phone to call someone this way!
For the people who think having to start dialing over if they make a mistake is "buggy".... Um, HELLO!!! There were no backspace options on real rotary phones! That makes this more authentic as far as I'm concerned.
The only things I'd change are:
- allow the ability to change the number on the dial to my phone number, and
- for the app to automatically dial after dialing. Don't know if that's possible.
Overall, 4 stars, fine family fun! - Rotary Dialer review by Jeunefille
Best app ever! I first downloaded the free version (when it was still free), back when there was no sound...I liked it then. Now I love it! Thanks for the hard work! - Rotary Dialer review by AuntJemmima8
Version 2 is great! This Version 2 is the best! Now it makes sounds, stops at the finger guard properly and reacts just like a real phone dial! When I use it in front of people, they go nuts over it! One told me he's buying an iPhone just to get this! Have you seen those big, black old-style telephone handsets that plugs into a cell phone via a curly cord (there's a bluetooth model as well). Well this dialer is just like that but even better! Old technology on a high-tech device. It's just plain fun! Kids won't know what it is since they never saw a phone dial!! But baby boomers will remember it. It's a blast from the past on your iPhone! Get it! - Rotary Dialer review by Craig Crossman
Zheez people! I can't believe that there are people complaining that there's no backspace. This is not the app you use for speed. It's nostalgia. It's fun. Don't use this when the DJ says the first caller wins $1 million. Don't use this when your boss asks you to call him back immediately. Do enjoy! - Rotary Dialer review by App Addicted
All five stars! This is the funnest application!!! Out of the 1000's applications, this is the best, funner, cutest one of all them all!!! I got the original version which had some defects and it was free, but now they upgraded it and it is just perfect!!! It has sound just like a rotary phone and when dialing feels as using a real old phone!!!! My favorite without a doubt!!! - Rotary Dialer review by Jessiebela
yep: v.2 = very good I like this app a lot. I don't think it's that "goofy" or "absurd" as some have called it - I think it's a perfectly respectable and almost-serious app for those of us who just miss the old-school way of dialing. version 2 is very accurate - I can dial a number quite quickly without myself or Rotary Dialer messing it up, and the sound's a great addition. I don't know where some other "reviewers" get off suggesting this app doesn't actually initiate calls; it certainly does (and always has if I remember right), and contrary to at least one person's assertion, iRetro Phone is not free: it costs $2.99, which seems awfully steep to me for a novelty app like these. *this* app is the free one, or at least it was when I downloaded it.
the only two things I'd like to see added to this app are:
• alternate dials - I'm thinking one nice clean one like iRetro Phone's, and another nice clean one but with the phone number printed on more carefully-applied black embossed tape instead of the ugly and messy red and blue tape that's the only option now - and
• the ability to delete one digit at a time if you misdial (though I don't see misdials being much of a problem with this app unless you're pretty clumsy). another person had a good point though when they said you couldn't delete one digit on a real rotary phone, but it might be nice to have the option. that way the user could use it if they wanted to or just give an exasperated sigh and start over for that authentic old-school experience. ;)
bottom line: I really like this app and I hope the developer keeps enhancing it. - Rotary Dialer review by plaintiger
Excellent!!!!! Great graphics. Excellent sound. Very fun. LOVE IT! Good job! - Rotary Dialer review by iLoveMyPhone
True to the original Looks and sounds real. Never fails to amuse when I dial an actual call.
Wife liked it so much she installed on her iTouch so she could play with it too. - Rotary Dialer review by szirin
Awesome! I love this app. The sound is great and the animation is so smooth and acurate, it's almost perfect!
The only thing missing is some kind of customization. I'd like to see some more dialer face options. Atleast let me change the number on the default face!
A minor update and this will be a 5 star app. - Rotary Dialer review by Sarcophagus
Loves it I love this silly app! The only problem I have is no backspace - Rotary Dialer review by Brockee
Fun application. Great concept! Some of these reviews are absurd. This is for fun. Like everything about it. Have had no problems. Only suggestion is a better looking dial. Maybe an antique. Or even interchangeable ones. I'd pay for improvements. - Rotary Dialer review by Tobaccojoe
Works great I have had no problems with this app. It's a great trip down memory lane and worth the 99 cents I paid to see the smile on my parents faces.
Ps.) anyone that would even mention having a backspace button is obviously too young to remember these. Adding one would take away the whole point of this app. - Rotary Dialer review by jdawg21
Great Novelty My mother just loved the retro app... she plays with my phone all the time. This app coupled with the retro ringtone is fun. Wish the phone number label in the center dial could be altered. Con: Technology has spoiled us so we rarely "know" a phone number to dial LOL... - Rotary Dialer review by grasshoppacaradine
New release has it all!!! Dials correctly, has sound. Was free, now is a buck, but definitely worth it. - Rotary Dialer review by Gzerninplatz
OMG This is fully functional and fun. I gotta call someone.....NOW! - Rotary Dialer review by Yell's Pod
I want my dollar back! Yes it is that bad. I though it would be more fun than it is. It is inaccurate to say the least. I find myself 6 numbers in, and it misses the # then you have to clear it out, and start all over.Even after downloading the update I am pretty sure this app is the reason I had to uninstall everything, and reset my iPhone 3 times! Apple needs to test this stuff before they start selling in on their store! Apple is known for their product stability, and so what I have seen with the apps is far from it. - Rotary Dialer review by Flyinseamnky
Back space button This is a great application,all my friends love it...we need more of these kind of applications. - Rotary Dialer review by Chuckcbr
Silly & fun! I thought I would have to buy my parents a JitterBug. Now I can just get them an iPhone and this app. Well worth the 99 cents. - Rotary Dialer review by lonnie247
Realistic Two things to make it 5 stars. Back space a mis-dialed digit and have the number on the dial be yours. Ah, brings back old school phone memories! - Rotary Dialer review by Karma-mechanic
