Why switch to Visual Dialing?

Visual memory

By placing your contact icons in a fixed location on a grid you create a powerful visual mnemonic. After a few visits to a page the contact layout is effortlessly memorized and your finger guides you to the appropriate contact in a breeze! This translates to improved speed and efficiency compared to the traditional scrolling list interface.

Reduced cognitive load

Humans are much better at recognizing faces than words. You can easily pick a familiar face out of a crowd but it takes much more time and effort to read through a newspaper page in search of a name. A picture is a thousand words! If you have to spend a long day on your cellphone why not conserve a few braincells! Visual dialing is both more natural and easy to use.

Improved aesthetics

Pictures are prettier than words. Need we say more?

Why use Contacto?

Contacto combines the advantages of visual dialing with improved usability and aesthetics. We have retained a simple and efficient user interface that is already familiar to the user, i.e., the iPhone's springboard, and added features that improve efficiency and ease-of-use, e.g., bigger icons, badges. Our graphic designer has produced an icon gallery from scratch, exclusively for Contacto for improved aesthetics. The results is an application with a much improved look and feel.
