textPlus 2.1 - Communities and more.
First of all, if you haven’t upgraded to our latest version of textPlus (2.1), please go here and do so!
The team has been working hard, we’ve been listening to all of your feedback…and we’ve made some changes we hope you like :)
New in textPlus version 2.1:
Personal Communities:
- Make one for your class and one for your clique.
- Name it and save it. Even non-app users can join the group by texting the Community name to the number 60611
New tricks:
- Refresh buttons for faster messaging
- Swipe to kick people out of conversations
- Re-invite friends who may have missed your texts
- Dedicated servers and bug fixes to make textPlus faster and even more reliable!
What are “Communities” and why are they cool?
You already know (hopefully), that you can have a group conversation using textPlus. It’s like reply-all in email or a chatroom. Everyone gets all of the messages, even if they’re not using the app. You asked for a way to manage these “groups”, so we created our “Communities” feature.
You can pick, save, and keep, a unique name for a group of people that you want to text all of the time or get a text message out to fast.
Our communities feature is great to keep your group in the loop. Roomies, classmates, the morning carpool, mom/dad/grandma, or use it like we do here at GOGII for work stuff.
For example, a few of us here at the office are from Philly (myself included). So whenever anything Philly related happens, we update each other. A few weeks ago, I was at Allen Iverson’s first game back as a Sixer.
More features are coming to communities soon, as well as the rest of textPlus, so please keep your feedback coming over on our support site at GetSatisfaction!
We do listen, and your feedback helps us decide on which new features to work on first.
