Yes, you can use it with conference calls - 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
DOes not work with business contacts - This app will not bring up businesses in your contacts list. Fix this and the rating will go up!

Dialer doesn’t work in-call, big disappointment! - The dialer is fine and it’s nice that i can make personal calls, I guess, but I have personal people already stored into my contacts anyway. The number ONE reason I purchased this is for client conference calls through my computer and speak system, which is better than the quality from the phone. However, the dialer does not work once you are in-call. It only works to dial. This was such a big disappointment because it was the only reason I purchased the app. If the dialer doesn’t work to punch in conference pin numbers or anything, it’s virtually useless for me. I truly hope they will eventually upgrade this feature. If and when they do, I would certainly change my rating, but for now, it just doesn’t do what i need it to do. Such a bummer
IT CAN DO IN CALL DIALING - For those of you who say it can’t do in call dialing, did you read the intructions on first run? It says to click on the FaceTime banner on the upper right while in a call and then use the keyboard to type the desired entry.
Doesn’t work with voice automated menus - I bought this to simplify calling systems with an automated menu and where I’ll be on hold for a while. Sadly the Mac side dialpad doesn’t register/send the keypresses as expected, so this is basically not very useful. For example: Try calling California’s tax agency (FTB) at (916-845-7033) where their wait times is ‘over 3 hours’. Then try 1-4 … pressing 4 on this app’s dial pad is never recognized (tried 4 times) but always works when dialing directly from the iPhone.
In-call dialing doens’t work even if I clicked Facetime Banner - Like most previous review, I bought this app for in-call dialing but it doesn’t work for me even if I clicked FaceTime banner as the instruction suggested. Then I realized that I can actually do in-call dialing simply using my keyboard… No need additional app. FaceTime works perfectly if we just use keyboard to do in-call dialing… Originally I want to get a refund but considering the 0.99 cheap price, I’ll just let it be.
Better than DockPhone, but could use some more development... - 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!
