2.0 Submitted!

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

  • E-mail is now a “first class” message type. When adding favorite recipients, you may now select e-mail addresses as well as phone numbers.
  • Since e-mail is first class, and the app is now useful on non-phones, iPod Touches and iPads are now supported.1

Assuming no issues with the review process, the update should hopefully be available early in the new year. If there are problems during review, I’ll note them here.

The full list of changes is below:

  • E-mail is now a first-class message type; favorite recipients can be mated to e-mails as well as phone numbers.
  • Thanks to increased e-mail support, iPod Touch and iPad devices are now supported.
  • Significant VoiceOver (accessibility) improvements
  • Thumbnail images are now improved, especially for contact images that weren’t originally square.
  • Message entry now says “SMS Characters Left” since e-mails are now fully supported.
  • Added version number to main screen.
  • Fix bug that allowed empty messages to be created which in turn caused other errors.
  • Fix a bug caused by iOS 4.2 changes that caused the enter phone number dialog box to be rendered incorrectly.
  • Improved behavior of Edit/Done buttons.
  • Removed bogus top bar from default app image.

  1. Note that iPad support is in the cheesy iPhone (non-native) view mode.
