What's New in Other

1.1

April 18, 2017

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. This release has been a long time coming; a year in fact! I’ve made some significant and colourful changes to things, as well as introduced a handful of features and attempted to resolve potential problems. I really hope you like it! - Introducing a Today extension and 3D touch widget containing basic shortcuts to quickly get in touch with your other. It’s the closest you can get to having a literal button on your phone without also needing a soldering iron. - For the power users amongst us, I’ve added a handful of options via a URL scheme that allows you to tap into Other’s shortcuts, or define alternate shortcuts of your very own. You can find more information in the in-app user guide! - If you prefer FaceTime to… well… face time… *cough* you’ll appreciate the dedicated option to display a FaceTime shortcut within the app and the new Today extension. - For those who discovered the hidden colour schemes feature, you’ll be delighted to know that the app icon will now reflect your chosen colour. If only everything in life was that easy. - The share extension had its options upgraded a little, allowing more kinds of items to be shared. There are still some limits on the size of sharable items, but this is a starting point to improving things, and I hope to be able to do more in future releases. - The authorisation pop-up now has a usage description to explain what Other uses the contact information for (that is, your various shortcuts and nothing else). - I rejigged the tip jar so that the first tip is remembered, ensuring that tippers can re-access the perks they’ve rightfully earned. Unfortunately, if you’ve tipped previously you may lose (or have lost!) access, so please get in touch and I will do what I can to help you slay the monster and regain your rightful place on the throne of Therispul. If you’re enjoying Other, I’d really appreciate it if you could take a moment to share that with me through an App Store review. Other isn’t a big, important app, but I do care about making it better. Feel free to share any criticisms or requests you have, and you’ll find a contact form at jellystyle.com/contact which you can use to contact me directly. Enjoy this release, and I’ll see you again next time!

Does what it does well

Nice little app. I did find that if I updated a contact, the app didn’t pick up the change until I killed it and restarted it. That made it a little harder to set up my "summon a pirate” contacts for the Jolly Roger telephone co. But now that I’ve worked through that and see how the app works in day to day use, I like it.

Just what I need

Other is just what I need. Tap it, pick a message, and send it off to messages.

Great app! Awesome extension!

Use it all the time to send messages to wife. Makes it real simple to share from any app. Wonder if it’s possible to set the app icon to the contact photo?

Essential

Crazy how an app goes from a good idea to an essential part of your everyday workflow. I use the share extension all the time now to message stuff to my wife. Absolutely love this! And free!

Updated: the app now inserts a space before URL's when I use the share extension. Anyway to get that fixed? Keeping a five star review because I still use this all the time!

Really an ingenious little app/extension.

I send stuff to hey hubby several times a day via text message. This app make that a seamless 2 tap process. It occasionally crashes, and is a little buggy. But those small inconveniences are totally worth it for the time it's saved me over the last year of consistent use. Looking forward to more from this developer.
