Must Have Android Apps and Games?

I had a Pro version then that went to a dead url and on another site it was also dead, that works though.

Hey

For sending web texts I'd use SwiftSMS by DuneDeveloping

It's intuitively android so fits right in

You should disclose that you're one of the developers!

Well, you appear to be the developer so you would say that...

And I'm definitely not downloading an app with no downloads and no ratings.

Go and spam somewhere else.

Hangouts has it's own emoji, you can't unless you get a third party keyboard with them

No spam(or even ads!)

I'd like to disclose I'm the other developer and as robtec said we would love any feedback on the App. It's our first Android App so I'm sure there is lots of room for improvement.

There will hopefully be plenty of new features rolling out as we get around to completing them :-)

I hope ye find it useful.

I might look at it now... I'd trust someone who's active here for 4 year a lot quicker than someone with 2 posts dragging up zombie threads and shilling :-]

Just tried it there with vodafone account & it worked fine. Personally I found it difficult to see the number of texts left in the top corner.
Do you plan on providing an inbox, sent folder & message threads or is the plan just to send the message.
Thanks

Does your app talk directly to the network website or do you have your own back end server?

I get you on the remaining SMS count, I'll look into making it easier on the eyes. Thanks for the feedback :-)

We don't plan to provide full Inbox and message threads currently. If your running an Android version prior to KitKat the App will insert your sent messages into your sent box so your messages will show up in your other SMS Apps.

The problem with KitKat is if we intended to provide full Inbox and messaging support is we would have to turn SwiftSMS into a full blown SMS App as it would need to handle all SMS functionality since you can have only 1 'default' SMS App in KitKat and later.

Currently it all happens right from your phone, we have no back end.

Cheers. Personally, I don't need Inbox / full SMS capabilities. I want to install this on my tablet / TV STB to send the odd text when my phone isn't to hand. Currently use Cabbage Ultimate [not many people mention the Ultimate keyword - TL;DR I paid for it ]

Winner features

• Easy to use
• Tablet designed
• Nice clean interface [Halo?]
• Integrate with Google Contacts
• Backup Sent SMS's to GMail, tagged with a user specified label [allow sent messages to be recorded on all devices]

This looks like a good app. Stop adding too many features to the current version. Start adding premium features and maybe earn a few bob. People will pay, maybe not everyone but some.

Fluffy88

Thanks for the feedback Ranger :-)

I'm a little confused by your list, are they features that Cabbage Ultimate has and they are the things that will keep you using it?
I'm guessing you saying they are the good features of SwiftSMS and the last one you mention is a feature request?

Thanks for the support!
We might consider going Premium if we can deliver some good features that are worth paying for.

Nah, I only mentioned Cabbage Ultimate as it's the current app I use and suggest to friends and family. However, it's a bit klunky. It doesn't have the features that I mentioned. If I have a new contact, I have to manually add it to CU. While it is relatively easy to use, it can do with a UI brush up. It also doesn't keep sent texts sync'd.

These are options I'm willing to part with cash for.

However, a winner feature is a desktop companion. Cabbage has a desktop client. Can you offer same? And have texts synced between Android and desktop? Now, that WOULD be a killer feature.

I can see these threads split out to a new thread. Sorry for the noise.

Fluffy88

Yeah I think I'll have to make a new thread if we are going to continue discussing SwiftSMS.

Glad to see we made 4/5 winning features.

No. To begin with this thread title is not 'Must Advertise Android Apps and Games' - indeed, advertising is forbidden here; full stop. Links to said app snipped.

Also not disclosing a conflict of interests is a big no-no. Don't care if you did it in another thread, you have to do it every time. Which is moot, of course, as you should not be posting in a capacity whereby there would be a conflict of interests in the first place. As such robtec is accordingly infracted.

I've not take out the banning stick this time, but any further promotion of commercial apps, will result in permabans. There's a thread on Mobile Application for Boards members who've written apps, if you want to post there, but here it is not permitted.

Fluffy88

Sorry for bringing the thread off-topic.
I'll create a discussion thread for the App in the Mobile Application forum at some point, thanks The Corinthian!

I'll give robtec a slap on the wrist for you ;-)

Alright lads, is there a good app to merge two videos that you have filmed on your phone together?

I never used anything like that on Android before but a quick search bring up a good few.

Check out Magisto which is pretty decent.

For anyone that has bought a tablet for the kids, or lets them use your own, this app locks it down to specific times and apps etc. Just requires a PIN to access settings or the full tablet again. Very handy.

Anyone know of any decent alternatives please pm me.

Downloading films is still working for me now as we speak, though steaming isn't.

Edit: Kids watching a turkey based animated film and that's streaming fine. App Hasn't updated titles for 2 days though.

Mine is fine, any of ye with UPC? Possible problems with legality issues? Only a wild guess though.

Not working for me either. No images on screen & the app keeps crashing.. I'm with vodafone.
