Fast Text 2.2 was just released. It includes:
Fixed the major bug that surfaced when iOS 5.0+ users were attempting to enter a number to send a message to.

Anonymous asked: I'm really interested in your app but concerned about the lack of reviews. I also detest iApps. Do you have any in the app?

Does it send through my phones SMS or does it send through one of those email to SMS conversion services? I don't see this spelled put in the description anywhere, but I might have missed it.

2.0 Submitted!
Fast Text version 2.0 was just submitted! The major updates:

1.1 Submitted!
Fast Text 1.1 was just submitted! It has one brand new feature, to be revealed when it is released. However, of more interest to those of you I’m totally jealous of, Fast Text now properly supports iPhone 4’s Retina Display. There was also some small cleanup to the Favorite Recipients screen.
Fast Text 1.1 probably won’t be available until Saturday, July 10, at the earliest.
Fast Text 1.1
I’m already hard at work on Fast Text 1.1. I’m currently beta testing this version, and hope to submit it to Apple by the end of the long weekend. This version has some general interface cleanup, better iPhone 4 retina display support, and more!

Release Day!
I am happy to announce that Fast Text is now available in the iTunes App Store! Fast Text Free will be following very soon, if you’d prefer to try before you buy.
Please check it out!
Also, no rest for the weary—I’m already working on enhancements for version 1.1…
Fingers crossed...

Monday, June 21
Apple has, at their Worldwide Developer Conference keynote today, announced iOS 4, née iPhone OS 4. It is due for release in two weeks, on Monday, June 21st.
It is my intention to get Fast Text into the app store on or immediately after release day. Fast Text Free should hopefully be released the same time, but if not, extremely shortly thereafter.
More news will be posted here once...
Coming soon...
Expect some big news once Apple officially releases iPhone OS 4.0.
