Comments on Better Direct Dial for Android

★★★★★ Great direct dial and great picture icons It dials the phone which the contact widget stopped doing

★★★★★ Works perfectly. Creates a direct dial shortcut on the home screen as there's no more such option since And5. Thumbs Up!

★★★★★ Does just what I needed! Great little app. Makes direct dial shortcuts without the distracting "H" or "W". And you can put them in a "folder" on your home screen.

★★☆☆☆ Donate widget You must donate before use

★★☆☆☆ Llama not working in 4.3.1 doodling codes in Llama

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work since Lollipop Upgrade Since AT&T upgraded my Galaxy S4 from KitKat to Lollipop, I can't add contacts any longer. I guess it's no longer compatible with my phone because of Lollipop.

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work on Mi10 (MIUI12 Global, Android 10). When choosing a widget, there isn't a Better Direct Dial Widget in the list.

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work with prefixes Won't work with prefixes like *31#.

★★☆☆☆ Does not work on my Xiaomi Redmi K20 device. After installation, I cannot add shortcut to the phone number - the better direct dial app does not exist in the widgets list.
