MySMS: SMS in landscape mode
By Matt, on Thursday, November 13 2008 00:51 dans Software
In my review of the iPhone on Infobidouille, I criticized Apple for not offering the landscape mode for typing e-mails and SMS, then it is much more convenient than typing into portrait mode, because it offers wider keys. I found today on Cydia a software providing this feature for the SMS: MySMS.
But MySMS goes further than that! Here are all the functions proposed its two versions, MySMS and MySMS Secure:
MySMS can display the list of messages in 4 different formats: all messages separately, only the incoming messages, only the outgoing messages or finally by conversations, as in Apple's SMS software, but with an icon depending on the content of the conversation. The way the messages are displayed depend on how they are listed: in the first three cases, only the selected message is displayed, as on a conventional phone, whereas in the latter case, it is the full conversation that is displayed. MySMS also allows to delete the messages in individually or by conversations.
Contact management is also interesting. Indeed, rather than simply listing the contacts, MySMS displays their phone numbers under their names, so that you can directly choose the number to use, without going through an intermediate screen. The search for contacts can also be done by entering a filter.
Finally, MySMS enables encryption of messages with a personalized key, facilitates the copy of contact details into the message and accelerates the typing of recurring messages through customizable templates.
It only lacks of directories management to fill almost all the shortcomings of the iPhone's SMS manager.
Tested version: 0.8.5-1
Source: Cydia / Messaging (BigBoss repository)
Price: 4.95$ (MySMS) or 24.95$ (MySMS Secure)

hey,
This morning the developer of mySMS contacted me and sent me a free key to register my app and stop using the cracked version. That mailed rocked, no dobut about it. But i dont want to keep that key for myself. I will give it to one of my blog readers. I will think of some kind of easy "contest" and the winner will recieve from me via email 2 key codes to register the app. Why 2? Because they are for mySMS secure. and you if you want to send encrypted sms texts to another person , that person needs to have mySMS secure as well. So i think it will be a nice Christmas gift from me to you and you gf/bf/spouse/brother/sister/parents/best friend what ever. Stay tuned for more info.
YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!
keep up the good work , ;)
much love,
