ReachFast

A new Contacts app for your iPhone

ReachFast is a new iOS app that makes it easy to search, call & add contacts to your smartphone, specifically your iPhone. Every detail has been optimized in every scenario for the only purpose of saving you time. In comparison to other apps, this new smartphone app is is 1 to 3 times faster in any given action.

The features of this new smartphone app include: ReachFast
* Pull-down to search, instead of tapping on a specific area. You can open the search without even looking at the screen.
* Only One tap to call.
* Swipe right to message.
* Favorites and Recently called contacts appear INLINE with the contacts… No need to switch tabs and the landing happens always on the recent, if you don’t find the contact there, just pull down to search.
* Smart search, that learns who you call the most and gives you the first result as a top hit, while reducing the number of letters you type before finding your contact.
* Adding a contact is super fast. we don’t stop you to ask if you are adding to existing or updating a new one, it happens along the way and reduces 3 steps out of the overall scenario.
* While adding a contact, no need to move your finger and look at the upper screen to switch fields, you can swipe the keyboard to jump lines while keeping your fingers on the keyboard to save you time.

ReachFast is all about taps, pulls & swipes. The more you use this new smartphone app, the more it will throw up tailor-made contact items. Eg: After a while it realizes who you call the most & serves up that contact, first. You can also ‘star’ particular contacts from within the app, & get to see the list of contacts who you most recently contacted.

Launched on April 22 this year, this new smartphone app is free to use in the initial ‘offer’ period.
