"The phone" has not evolved in last 15 years!
When I say "the phone" I mean the phone app in today's context. We have smartphones, feature phones, touch phones, QWERTY Phones, iPhones, Windows Phones and what not. But all of them share one common primitive app, which is the Phone Dialer app. The same list of recent calls, which we name as Call History.
Call History sucks!
Call history is like a Vestigial organ, I don't understand its purpose. It is meant to quicken the process of calling someone. So it is like a quick look up list of your important contacts. 15 years back, with not much processing power in a phone, Call history was the best way to imagine this. But in today's advanced Multi-core processor phones era, Call History is pretty much useless. It is filled with your Pizza delivery, Customer Care and other senseless numbers you've dialed recently.
We were fed up.
So, we thought we will create a dialapp which will magically show the people you want to call at any give context. It is powered by friday (of course). It will learn from your calling patterns, location, time, recent social interactions and many other things (secret sauce) to populate a list of people whom it thinks you will call (most probably).
We have found that (from our private beta), 65% of times the person you want to call is within the first page, and 84% times he is in the first two pages. (a page = 5 contacts).
Think about the amount of time it can save in your daily life. If you make 25 calls a day and each time contact searching takes 30 seconds, we bring it down by 26 seconds. So that is around 11 mins a day.
So in a month we give you an additional 5.5 hours. You can catch up a full season of Sherlock with that time and you will still have an hour left!
Would love to listen to your feedback about the app, you can download it for free from Play Store.
