Instead of a text field, it would be more practical to search in the contacts following the groups of letters already on the digits. For example, one can search "Maria" in his contacts by typing "627" 6 for "M", 2 for "a", 7 for "r". Look at the concept I attached to this message.
Moreover, there's a crucial need to simplify the whole process of 'browsing contacts to call'.
On the dial app’s screen, I think the button to access the contacts is too small for such a wide-used function.
Maybe a gesture can replace it:
- 1-finger drag from the bottom of the screen = recent calls
- 2-fingers drag = contacts
I also don't see the usefulness of keeping 2 apps for the same functionnality: contacts and dial app…
To be efficient, one has to keep both of them in the ubuntu quick launch bar. It is a waste of space in this bar, and requires the user to think about which of them to start.
