Other is an app for simplifying messaging for that one recipient you're always sending things to (like say, your significant OTHER? SEE WHAT I DID THERE), from attachments to quick messages, and more. There's a pretty good chance that you have one particular person you talk to all the time. Maybe you're always sending photos of your dog in adorable sweaters to your mother, or perhaps you're shooting off a quick message to your husband to let him know that if he forgets to get milk one more time, you're going to lose it. FEATURING • 3D touch shortcuts! • In-app shortcuts! • PURPLE! • A share extension for sending stuff from other apps! • A widget that widgets, or something. • Other things, maybe! • PURPLE! • What were we listing again? Other makes it simple to send canned messages to that special someone, and allows you to send photos, documents or links through its built-in share extension. No matter what it is, Other has your back. As long as it's messaging. With one particular person. ## Key features - 3D Touch shortcuts - In-app shortcuts - Share extension - Widget support - Send photos and documents ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Amazing Tip | $0.99 | one-time | | Incredible Tip | $1.99 | one-time | | Outstanding Tip | $4.99 | one-time | | Amazing Tip | $0.99 | one-time | | Incredible Tip | $1.99 | one-time | | Outstanding Tip | $4.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 20) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/other/id1090792031/reviews.md ### 4/5 — Does what it does well *2019-07-26, version 1.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Just what I need *2018-05-19, version 1.1* Other is just what I need. Tap it, pick a message, and send it off to messages. ### 5/5 — Great app! Awesome extension! *2018-03-11, version 1.1* 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? ### 5/5 — Essential *2017-07-20, version 1.1* 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! ### 4/5 — Really an ingenious little app/extension. *2017-04-22, version 1.1* 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. **Developer response:** I'm really glad you love the app! Please feel free to get in touch and let me know about the bugs you've experienced… I would very much like to squish them for you 👞🐜🐜 ### 5/5 — Love this app *2017-04-19, version 1.1* I use it almost daily to quickly tell my "other" that I'm on my way home. 3D Touch the app icon, tap the message, and hit send. Really useful! **Developer response:** Thanks for the glowing review! I don't know if you've tried it out yet, but the "Message" shortcut in the new 3D touch widget is my go-to way of pulling up the compose screen so I can send iMessage stickers to my wife. It's great 😃🎉 ### 5/5 — Send a Quick Text with 2 Taps! *2017-04-18, version 1.1* Awesome app for sending commonly used items to your special friend. I use it to let my wife know when I've arrived to work safely and when I'm headed home. Great way to send a short notification! **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoy the app, and I hope it continues to serve you well. ### 5/5 — Does just what it says.... *2017-01-09, version 1.0* I use this app for those times when I've got my hands full, but need to send a text or call someone. One click on the app, one click on the shortcut and you're ready to go. ### 4/5 — Performs as promised *2016-05-26, version 1.0* It's not life-changing or anything like that, but it works well and performs the function that it's designed to perform. I like that it's easy to send prefabricated messages to my wife. ### 5/5 — Fun app *2016-05-19, version 1.0* Like supporting small Australian developers who like jelly. ## Frequently asked questions about Other ### What is Other?

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! ## Apps similar to Other | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Saucydates: Dating App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/saucydates-dating-app/id1447748490) | 4.4 (7) | Free | Lifestyle | | [Aivi - Your Custom AI Chatbot](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/aivi-your-custom-ai-chatbot/id6447241663) | 4.8 (1,290) | Free | Lifestyle | | [FamilyTime: Parental Control](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/familytime-parental-control/id981066103) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [Bawanli](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bawanli/id1516560169) | 3.0 (1) | Free | Lifestyle | | [Dog Monitor Buddy & Pet cam](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dog-monitor-buddy-and-pet-cam/id1046837813) | 4.2 (416) | Free | Lifestyle | | [HeyDate: Chat & Dating People](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/heydate-chat-and-dating-people/id1547596745) | 4.6 (1,853) | Free | Lifestyle | ## More apps by Daniel Farrelly - [Progressions](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/progressions/id406941812) - [GIFwrapped](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gifwrapped/id782319880) All apps by Daniel Farrelly: https://appshunter.io/developer/406941815 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
