TextPlus goes beyond free texting, boosts communities
Mini_discussion_bubble TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog - Posted Tue, 27 Jul 2010 20:30:00 UTC +00:00
When I bought my iPhone 3GS, one of the helpful Apple retail guys told me to give textPlus a try for sending text messages, as I'd bought into the cheapest texting plan AT&T offers. I've since graduated to unlimited texting, and had left textPlus by the wayside until I found out it had a blossoming community angle to the service. While you can still send free texts until your fingers fall off, the latest version of textPlus (an ad-supported app, although there's a paid version as well) allows you to create, participate and join in Communities, which are much like topical group chat rooms seen on AIM back in the early days of the service. Once you've set up a basic account using not much more than your name, zip code and birthdate, textPlus looks a lot like a big chat application. You have access to your own Address Book and Read More

Awesome
Hockey14man 5.0 stars Version: v2.3
This is the best app ever I txt my girlfriend everynight!!!!
The crAPP of the year.
TomEnokR 1.0 stars Version: v2.3
I really want to like this. I really do. The interface is slick, WHEN it actually loads. As you switch between tabs, the interface just simply disappears! No communities load. No contacts load, even the help and support tab just stop loading!!! Sometimes it helps to exit the program and re-open it, but more often than not, it just simply stops loading. You find yourself staring at blank screens wondering if it is just slow, or stuck. Minutes roll by, and still stuck. But if you DO get the interface, many times the reply button provides no text box to type in. If you use a Bluetooth keyboard, there is no send button to send the messages you type. It's a smartly designed, horribly executed idea. I'm a programmer myself, and I get the strong feeling this is going to have to be written from the ground up, this time building in the necessary exception handling. I hope they prove me wrong, but I don't see how they can overcome everything that makes this product aggravating at the least, completely unusable at worst. I wasted my money. Don't waste yours til they do it right.
Great app

Cool but needs some things

Rosalie102 4.0 stars Version: v2.3
I love text plus but I think they should add smiley faces, emotions, and stuff to send to other people!!! That would make it so much cooler
Hot dang I love this app
methaneman 5.0 stars Version: v2.4.2
I have yet to find such a reliable texting app. Your speed and quality baffle me at every turn. Your updates actually "update" the app and make it better. If anything this app has the best purchase I have made on the Touch. Please keep up the good work and you will always have my loyal service.
Ad free is for me
abruhcadabruh 5.0 stars Version: v2.1
personally i get sick of the stupid ads all over sellng the same stuff, so if you're like me, you'll like the app. Plus $2.99 ain't much to pay for an app that allows u to text as much as u want.
TEEHEE!
Kiraa :) 5.0 stars Version: v2.1

What Happened
KD7JHD 1.0 stars Version: v2.3
I can't use this app anymore. It was great when I used the free version. I got the paid version at about the same time the iPad version was released. Now it's so buggy and slow I think snail mail might be faster. I want this fixed now. They can do it. The feature set here is amazing. They have no business charging for an app that does little more than waste a spot on my hime page. I will imediately update this review when the performance improves.
So-So
Stifelguy 3.0 stars Version: v2.1
Good, but u can't text in landscape mode. Untill u fix that, it's 3 stars.
DEVELOPERS PLEASE READ
iTouchie 3.0 stars Version: v2.3
In the iPad version of this app you've placed the "Send" button right above the backspace key. From a usability standpoint this is a major problem because the user can accidentally hit the "Send" button instead of backspace which results in messages with errors in them being sent. Use your own app and see what I mean - it's too easy to hit send instead of backspace in the iPad version. Fix this and gain five stars from me. Thanks!
good
squeezy22 4.0 stars Version: v2.1

Wow, they fixed everything that needed to be fixed.
Branden R. 5.0 stars Version: v2.2
I previously reviewed this application and gave it a lower rating due to some issues. Now though there has been a lot of fixes and i thought it deserved a bit of a revision. 1.The long and awaited landscape mode is now in the ad-free version and it works perfect. 2.The problem with the badges still showing you have a new message when you viewed it using the push notification has also been fixed. 3.The application is also a lot more reliable at sending and receiving messages and messages seem to go through a lot faster now. Overall I am glad to see GOGII listened to what users had to say and made changes to the app accordingly. I will continue to use this app as now it seems perfect for what I need to be able to do.
Faster
biblequizr7 3.0 stars Version: v2.1
Im on a 2nd Gen iPod Touch running OS 3.1 & it's about 30-40% faster than the free one. There's also more space on the screen without the ads. Overall, a great app. 4 things you should know 1st: I can't turn off the badges no matter what I do. 2nd: be forewarned: the description says this only lasts 1 year. 3rd: no landscape keyboard. 4th: push notifications don't work properly. I'll get a txt from someone & not get a push OR I won't get a txt at all!! Irritating...
Needs sideways option!!!
awesome : ) 4.0 stars Version: v2.1
I like this app but to get five stars it needs the sideways option to txt!!! I can type sideways in a matter of seconds but it takes me twice as long to type upright!!! I would LOVE this app if it had sideways typing!! Please change!!!!
Much Faster
xXxmemoriesxXx 4.0 stars Version: v2.1
It's much faster than the free version because it doesn't need to load the ads. They forgot one thing though. When you turn your iPod/iPhone, the screen doesn't change to a landscape key board. So no more sideways texting.
it pretty good, 
Vicky 4.0 stars Version: v2.3
it is the best app ever!!!! but I think that u should be able to text even without wifi!!! fix that and I'll giv it five stars!!! :D
good
cenaluva 5.0 stars Version: v2.1
great great great app better than text free
No ads is cool
appfan 5.0 stars Version: v2.1
I'm a power textplus user so not having ads was worth it. Otherwise, it's the same (great) app.
