SMS Popup reviews, localization/i18n and another new release (v0.9.6)!

First I wanted to give a shoutout to Scott over at AndroidGuys - he published a positive review of SMS Popup last week :) aside from some good press, it also helped me find some people to translate the app into other languages (more on that in a tic).

Another website called AppVee AndroidApps also did a review (including a YouTube video) of SMS Popup:



I'm also pleased to announce that SMS Popup has now been translated into German and Dutch! A very big thanks to Feyyaz (blog) and Melle for helping with this. Hopefully there will be more languages coming soon enough :)

Last but not least, I also posted v0.9.6 of the app out to the Market, no interesting new functionality quite yet unfortunately. I spent a bit of time cleaning up the code so that it will make life easier to add and extend to the app in the future.

  • More bug fixes (preventing more force close messages)
  • Better MMS support: an MMS is now treated like a SMS, there is a popup and reminders - at the moment the subject is just displayed with a "View MMS" button (not sure if it will be possible to show the MMS images inside the popup)
  • German and Dutch localizations for those folks in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands - I'm not actually sure I published the app correctly to the Market so I would love to hear from anyone in these countries who successfully got the app and are using the newly localized strings

  4. @Bruce, it's still coming, no promises but hopefully next release (had to restructure a whole bunch of stuff first to make this possible - so things are ready to go, I just haven't had the time to implement).

    @Jean-Laurent, French would be great, please email me at adam at everythingandroid.net - thanks!
