Legacy AppDialer

This app was great and was one of the must have apps on my phone. However, after updated my phone to Android 13, the widget is no longer functional. Supposed there's something wrong with the data, so tried to reinstall the app, but unlucky still doesn't work. And unfortunately, just found out this app has been banished for a while, now is a legacy version which won't be updated anymore. I'd like to pay for the new version again, but the price of $20 is kind of out of my ability. What a shame!

I've been using this app and this is the single app that I could not live without. Absolutely love it. This last update however introduced an annoying side effect: the notification bar in Oreo now contains "AppDialer Pro is using battery" icon. It doesn't seem to be using any battery per se, just the icon is there which sometimes can go away and then re-appear. Could you please fix this? Thanks!

Back when phone still has keypad, there was an app that can search the phone (apps, contact, files, etc.) making it extremely quick fome to use the phone. No need to bother with launcher, folders, favourite, etc. I am glad I can replicate that feature with this app, just put the icon shortcut on the homepage and I am good to go. Just wished, the developer can further refine this, maybe a persistent float menu across all app. Been using this for years. Good and very useful app.
