Should be an option to leave on the dock or remove it from the dock and leave it in the menu. Boring interface when calls are made, defaults to the macs.

This app is truly useful. While it’s just a small added feature, I love the ability to be sitting at my laptop and make a phone call to somehwere especially when I may need to refrence information on my computer. Keypad is great because the whole point of why I am using it at least is to call unknown numbers not in your contacts - and this is the missing feature in Yosemite that Keypad fills. Great work.
Just heard about this on a Imore podcast. I think Rene said it was app of the year . I agee its agree. I have been waiting for this app on the Mac. It does one thing and one thing good .. good job .
I spend a lot of time on conference calls, which means I need to enter additional digits after I’ve dialed the main number. I couldn’t figure out how to make it work. I reached out to the developer who proivded a reponse to me the same day. Easy workaround: once the call connects, FaceTime Audio will display a box in the upper right corner of your screen. Just click on this box and use your keyboard numb keys to enter any digits, including # and * to get into your call. Works great and easily worth the $0.99
If the name of a contact is Korean, Keypad cannot search the name correctly. Even when the input methods is in Korean mode, the first character of typing is always typed as English alphabet. It should be fixed!
This app will not bring up businesses in your contacts list. Fix this and the rating will go up!
Apple truly should’ve hired these developer to develop Keypad as a stock application in Yosemite. It’s worth every penny.
there’s nothing here that’s not found in facetime already…. what we really need is an option to enter keypad hits during phone calls.
I hate to say this but you are not charging enough for this app!
I have just started using Keypad and I absolutely love it. To start, it has such a sleek and professional appearance that appears as if it came with my Mac all along. The developers really put a lot of thought into its functionality and making sure it appealed to an audience with diverse needs. It is EXTREMELY functional for all people, most importantly those working on projects and are needing to call a variety of people not in their contacts while simotaneiusly using their Mac . The greatest thing about Keypad is that it operates smoothly on my desktop while I call others and continue using my Mac, and I get the benefit of both on one device. Over all, I would definetely recomend this app as a Mac essential, and cannot wait to see what features may be added in the future.
Very nice looking app. Once connected how can I get the keypad back up so I can enter the PIN number to join a conference call?
Bought this to use for conference calling, but the conference bridge could not receive the pin I typed using the keypad. This makes this app useless to me.
This was exactly what I was looking for when they introduced Continuity in Yosemite. One suggestion: I would like to have the ability to dial an extension, once a call is connected. If I can do that already, I can’t figure out how.
This is a really great application that seamlessly integrates onto my Mac. Super excited to have a dialer on my computer to make calls from both contacts and numbers. I can see this would make life a lot easier, wish I had it when I was wedding planning on my PC, would’ve made it so much smoother to call all the vendors. Overall, a simple, elegant, and well designed app!
For $.99 you can’t beat an app that does what Apple left out very nicely, buy it and you will be happy. Things I would like to see in a future release: 1) the ability to search the address book by name for an existing phone number and dial from the very handy notification center widget (currently you can only dial a number from the notification widget but you can search the address book from the full app), and 2) automate the process a bit more so that when you dial with the app or the widget you don’t have to click the Call button in a FaceTime pop up to actually dial. Great app! Update: asked a few questions of the developer who is very responsive. Apparently having to click the Call button on the FaceTime pop up window after entering a number in Keypad is a limitation of Apple, no big deal, just click the return/enter key on the keyboard and it will call. Also, while the dialer doesn’t yet work to enter numbers on a phone system tree (press 1 for this or 2 for that) you can simply click the number keys on your keyboard and that will do it (this didn’t seem to work for me under 10.10.1, but does work under 10.10.2). This has become one of my favorite apps.
Works OK except that right now, you must dial the number using the buttons on the Keypad app - you can’t use the keyboard number keys unless you enter at least the first digit using the Keypad on-screen buttons. Inconvenient and definitely detracts from the utility of the app. Email customer service was fast and courteous and they did tell me they are working on a fix for this but didn’t have a timeline. Until this is fixed, I’d say that this app has limited functionality.
I got this app in hope that I could use it for teleconfrence calls. Basically I wanted to be able to enter a conference call code after calling a conference line. The app does not let you input numbers during an ative call. Waste of money! Don’t Buy
Dials numbers great but after connected cannot reach and extension? Odd.
I got this after getting PhoneDock, which did not come with a dialer, so that went into the trash. This app does what is says, but is nothing fancy to look at or delightful to use. Really basic. Some things that would make it better: some preferences, such as start on login, a menu bar icon, sizable keypad, and message and perhaps even email options when you are in the contact list. One more thing, I know it some sort of wierd apple thing to make a 3rd party app click to confirm calling, but we don’t need that. when I click on dial, just do it! Well, that’s it. Good luck!
This is a great little app that provides a function Apple should have thought of when they created hand off. It works like you think it should.
