If your iPhone calendar is jammed packed with meeting invites this is little worry as ApptDialer looks at current meetings...I am happy as I constantly need to dial into a meeting when mobile and this is the safest way on iOS.”
- Rod, Simple Mobile Review

You have a conference call in five minutes but you’re stuck in traffic. As soon as you’re able to, you pull over, check your meeting invite then repeat the phone number and conference code several times in quick succession. While continuing to run through the numbers out loud, you start dialing. Oops, you hit a wrong number, start again because that threw you off and you can’t remember what you were trying to dial.

That’s okay, you’ve got a pen and some paper. Somewhere. Maybe in the glove compartment or on the back seat. Okay, you found something that’ll work. Fast as you can, you go back to the invite and scribble down the numbers. You dial carefully but quickly and arrive at the conference in the middle of a big announcement. Everyone hears you enter the room.

Not only are these types of situations stressful, they’re embarrassing, frustrating and just plain unnecessary, now that there’s ApptDialer.

This application makes joining conference calls as easy as tapping your iPhone screen. Dial directly from your calendar appointments, without ever having to look up, write down, or memorize any information.

If you have multiple numbers listed, simply select the one you want to use and the app will call the number and enter the code for you. Safe, easy and the perfect solution to conferencing while on the go.
