Just gave it a quick test here and I must say it works pretty well. Specially after I assigned it to a gesture on homescreen.

Contact Searches will be nice i guess, really helps the elderly with their T9 recognition

Gonna subscribe!

Its very good, very smooth. You hace just cleared my homescreen of lots of apps. The only thing left in my homescreen are Dial an App, Browser, Google Maps and Iron Man 3.

Aesthetic wise, I feel like it needs more improvement, but hey, thats only graphical part. the core part is flawless.

Suggestion: Perhaps user will be able to 'dial up' settings? You know, like going directly to the WiFi settings, or directly to storage setting to eject USB on the go, or more importantly turning on the USB debugging inside the developer mode. I'm sure this will be a major request. Although you should also add a setting whether to enable dialing up shorcut settings or not, not all people want it.
Suggestion: I guess you need to add a setting page if you want to corporate more feature, as most people want to use certain feature and dont want to use certain feature.

Idea: There are some people that hide certain app and dont want people to see it, I guess it will be a bad situation if your app shows their hidden app.

Great app, will they be a paid version? Not a fan of the ads, would give a couple bucks to get rid of them!

Sent from my Nexus 7

luciferabby · Apr 10, 2014

Yes there will be an ad-free paid version as soon as I integrate contact search and a few other features in the upcoming version.

Keep the feed backs coming, helps me make this better and better.

What about apps with space in their name? The current version dont have any space input.

luciferabby · Apr 10, 2014

I suppose you wouldn't have to type the words after the space as , as soon as you are type the first word i.e the one before the space you will have that app in the grid already, for example: typing "Google" will give u "Google Play", " Google Music" , "Google Music" etc already on scren making it easier to choose, also you can easily type just the word after the space like "Music" that will give you "Google Music" too thereby saving an additional button press for "space"

correct me if I am wrong.

Interesting app. I have a couple of suggestions on how to improve it more:

The app shouldn't show up in recent apps, as people will probably access it through a shortcut and use it to launch other apps
It would be better user experience if the dialer was drawn over your current app, instead of using your wallpaper as a background -- this would give a more fluid app launching and changing experience instead of the current feeling of being taken away from your current activity
It would be nice to be able to change the app icon grid and icon sizes -- some people will want fewer but bigger icons, some people will prefer longer list with smaller icons
Since there's quite a lot of screen space for listing the apps, you could implement (an optional) row of recently launched/recently used apps. I think a lot of users are really just switching between 4-5 most common apps and this would make the interaction faster.
In addition, there could be an option to pin a favorite app(s)
Lastly, it's not at all obvious how one can change the keypad colors (long-press on clear seems to do it), and you are left wondering if there are other settings available as well (like changing the grid size)

Like I said, the app looks great and works well too.

I wasn't aware, I'll have to check, however Dial an App is soon going to be a complete Dialer and a part of my upcoming Homescreen launcher, you can give it a try and see for yourself all the features. Your feedback will be appreciated.

You know, I'm a right handed. My phone screen size is 4.7 inch diagonal. The situation now is that, after there's only one app left in the screen, its all the way at the top left, which is quite a stretch for my thumb. You might even have problem with this yourself. So I was thinking maybe after one app has left, the app will be highlighted (somehow) and brought to the center, that would be better I think. or maybe you can just touch anywhere on the screen and it will launch that app. Or just add another button that will launch that one app left standing.

You konw, this reminds me of Ubuntu OS, which is quite similar. Maybe you take insperation from these? My point is, after a few letter, the app that you want might be the first app in the list, so you can just tap a button and it will launch the first app in the selection. Of course for me, I feel it will be better if the app selection there will have some sort of popularity calculation to determine which one comes first,kind of like when you type iin the address bar in Firefox, most frequently visited site will appear first in the list.

Does that seem alright now ? updated the app. thanks.

Awesome app. Saves you some time.

Reserved. For future updates.
If you have like a hell lot of apps on your phone, this is the app the one you'd expect to save you some great amount of time. Would love to see further updates and appreciate your work. Subscribed.

N1XRR · Apr 10, 2014

Awesome app and a great idea! Can't wait for the paid version!

One small request - can you make a widget out of it? This would be an awesome full screen widget to replace my standard home screen (or maybe put it a page over from the home screen).

deej_roamer · Apr 10, 2014

Contact Search would be awsome man!

When you integrate the feature, dude i'll love you..... for now i use app dialer pro because it provides a home screen widgets but as soon as you release the widget for app, app dialer pro is going to trash...... loved your app, sorry but i'm still not switching... i'll stay with you though, subscribing the thread.
