Take your iphone back to the 20th Century. "And iRetroPhone, the goofiest $2.99 I’ve spent so far, draws an old-fashioned rotary dial on the screen." - Saul Hansell (New York Times - Bits Blog) Retro Rotary Dial Phone Application for your iphone (And it really works!!) As one of the inaugural apps to grace the App Store, iRetroPhone set a precedent for creativity and uniqueness in mobile applications. Experience the Magic of Rotary Dialing With iRetroPhone, we've meticulously recreated the tactile and auditory sensations of the classic rotary dialer. Every spin of the dial, every click, brings with it a wave of nostalgia, transporting users to a simpler time where every call was an experience in itself. Features That Dial Back Time: - Authentic Rotary Interface: Designed to mimic the look and feel of vintage rotary phones, providing an immersive retro experience. - Dial-Up Sound Effects: High-quality, realistic sound effects that replicate the mechanical sounds of a rotary dialer. - Customizable Skins: Choose from a variety of classic phone models to personalize your iRetroPhone experience.

The Ultimate Incongruous Application

Wonderful fun! It really tickles my funnybone to use "old fashioned" technology on a device as sophisticated as the iPhone. I've used this since the original version, and appreciate the effort required to build and polish such a "simple" application. This is a "must have" for any "Tech Geek" out there. For those who cannot appreciate the elegance of simplicity, keep your small-minded opinions to yourself. This is a gem worth FAR more than the mere pittance they ask.

There is now a way to correct a mistake...the screen shot is not current.There is an apple-esque icon (x in a circle) to the right of the number that you can touch to clear the misdial.Its easy and intuitive. Just like reaching up to press those posts that were depressed when you returned the handset to its cradle. The author/programmer appears responsive to our concerns.

The dialer should stop when you hit the dial stop bar.The scraping sound it makes when you first touch the screen is odd.You should hear the sound of gears sliding past one another as you dial.The image of the phone from the 1940’s should be replaced with a good old standard AT&T rotary phone from the 1970’s, after all phones from the 70’s/80’s are what you are basing this app on and how many people who recall using a phone from the 1940’s are using an iPhone.

A nice app good for a laugh, well worth a buck. Would love to see ability to put cell number in middle of dial (or any number of my choosing - thinking of the number I memorized at age 5 years ago). Other than that, perfect for me.
