DockPhone 4+

I should have noticed that this app hasn't been updated in years. A simple but annoying problem—entering a new number and hitting return calls the previous number entered, not the newly entered one—remains unfixed after it was called to the developer's attention at least two years ago. You would also want an app like this to be able to handle those alphabetized phone numbers (like 1-800-LAWYERS) but it can't. It would be great if someone else could pick this app up and perfect it.

I had an issue where it stopped working for me and would not make outbound calls using my iPhone. I followed the step by step instructions and even spoke to someone on chat. They fixed my problem quickly. I did get an error when i did the recomendadtion for the Terminal commands but once I rebooted it worked! Love it! This really should have been native functionality.

I also have had an issue where, intermittently, incoming calls will not ring on the laptop and I have to use my cell phone. I would also like an option to dial a contact from my mobile phone but place the call via the laptop speakers and mic. Would be nice if you could push the call back and forth between the laptopn and the mobile for when you might need to pick up the phone and walk to get something.

If you make/receive calls on your iPhone this is almost a perfect dialing application (it obviously doesn’t have the flexibility to also handle landline, Skype, etc., so some people won’t find this an adequate substitute for Dialectic or PhoneAmego. The only way it could be made better is by imitating those more sophisticated programs by giving it a Service capability to dial highlighted numbers byi right-clicking. P. S. at the moment a lot of people have problems with Bluetooth on Yosemite, and Dialectic and PhoneAmego both require Bluetooth, so even those needing a more sophisticated dialer might find this a useful stopgauntil Apple cleans up its act).
