is an SMS assistant that helps you conveniently assemble SMS messages.
Features:
- creation of custom messages
- creation of a favorite contacts list (called shortlist)
- creation of groups (see note below)
- send current location as SMS message.
If you are having problems sending to large groups, in phone settings, set Group Messaging to "off". If it is on, it will try to send as MMS and be unable to do so for large groups.
Support
Mail is the best way to submit a support/feature request. Please include as much information as you can including (as applicable) iphone hw/sw version and carrier. Thanks!
Dev Info
The txtra app was written entirely in javascript and css. The following libraries were used:
The Phonegap library allowed two things. First, a better connection to the underlying features available on the iphone4 (i.e. access to contacts, geolocation). Secondly, it provided the hooks between javascript and Objective-C + iphone native libraries that allowed me to compile it into an iOS app.
The jqTouch library is a jquery plugin for mobile development. Included with it are several niceties that sped the development by making it easy to make my app LOOK like an iphone app. There are several other great mobile dev libraries/plugins available. Honestly, I went with jqTouch because it was the easiest to use given my limited UI requirements.
