Fresh Apps - iPhone Apps & iPod Touch Apps.

The cell phone has undoubtedly revolutionized the way we communicate. The ability to speak with anyone, anywhere, at any time with the simple touch of a button has enabled us to keep in touch with people cheaply and easily, yet has also tethered us to the expectations that instant communication provides.

Hopefully they add more choices too.

In other words, your cell phone is a leash that is chaining you to those who need to get a hold of you at all hours of the day and night.

There may not be any way to un-ring that bell; society is moving faster, and you can either ride the carousel, or jump off and take your lumps when you hit the ground. But there is an app that may help slow things down for you a bit as you fall.

iRetro Dialer by ASDPlus Inc. has the ability to send your iPhone back in time, to an age where dialing a loved one took almost a full minute and a lot of patience. By adding one of nine rotary dialers to your iPhone you are allowing yourself the luxury of calling someone at your own pace, while simultaneously expressing yourself with a delightful rendition of a rotary dial phone, complete with rotary sound effects.

Because of the manual dexterity and extreme levels of patience involved in placing a call, this could even be considered a strong deterrent to drunk dialing your ex.

Bottom Line

If you want a rotary dialer on your iPhone, get this app; it’s beautifully detailed and fun to use (for what it is). If you don’t, then I would not recommend you do so. There’s not much more I can say about an app like this.
