SwirlyMMS v1.0 has finally been released!!

[tommy]

Best Swirly users,

after having travelled on a very long journey and having put countless of hours into this project, we are now extremely happy and proud to finally have reached our goal of releasing a full-featured MMS application to the iPhone community!

This SwirlyMMS v1.0 release brings you the following features:

• An easy-to-use user-interface, inspired by the mail application, which allows you to navigate through your received and sent multimedia messages.
• Ability to send and receive: images, text, audio, video. In fact, you can send and receive any file you like!
• You will be able to send and receive messages containing multiple multimedia parts. For example you can send an image together with a long text in the same message.
• A built-in media viewer is provided so that you can easily view your messages from within SwirlyMMS.
• You can easily reply to the sender, or forward the message.
• You will be able to select multiple recipients.
• You can save an multimedia message part to a file of your choice.
• You can save an image to your camera roll (/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE) and view it with the Photo application.
• To send a photo, you will be able to select it, not only from your camera roll but also from your synched photo library or use the built-in file browser to pick any file.
• Also, you will be able to take a photo with the camera from within SwirlyMMS and send it right away.
• When composing a multimedia message with several parts, you can easily rearrange and remove any part.
• To help you configure the application with the MMS settings, we have developed a package which handles settings delivered over-the-air!

We would like to take the opportunity to thank all of you who have downloaded and used our previous version v0.3.8 (you are about 500.000(!)) and all of our donators and swirlyspace.com forum users! And, of course, an extra big thank you goes to our brave beta testers who have given us great and valuable feedback and helped us releasing this major upgrade of our application!

As you may already know, this v1.0 release is not free. But it is cheap, or a bargain as some people say It costs only $8 USD, and you will be able to use a full-featured demo version in 14 days before you decide to buy. If you like it, you buy it easily with your VISA, American Express or MasterCard via a secure Paypal link.

Just add http://www.swirlyspace.com/SwirlySpace.xml to your source in the Installer application and you are off to swirl away MMSs. In a day or two from now, you will find this release in one of the community sources, probably in STE's repository.

As we have stated before, all of you who have donated and supported our early development efforts will have this release for "free". Just install v1.0, click the Buy button, read and accept the license agreements, click Buy, which starts the Safari Web browser. Click the '+'-sign and choose "Mail Link to this Page", which starts the email application. Together with the link, add your Paypal confirmation number to this email and then send it to: [email protected]. We will take care of the rest So, from now on, you must buy the application. It is not enough to donate $1...

We will continue our efforts in developing this application even further and will bring new exciting features in the forthcoming versions. Also, we will of course support the application via our forum over at http://swirlyspace.com/forum!

Thanks again to all of you!

Regards,
The Happy and Proud SwirlySpace Team

Thank you very much guys! Hopefully I can get it to work with AT&T USA. It does NOT fix the issues for AT&T USA but I called them and got a tech who seems very interested in getting the app to work. So I will update you when we get somewhere. Does anybody have any ideas? I tried the automatic settings but that gave me unexpected http response error. Any ideas?

Tommy, can we now send and receive mms over wifi conection?

[kraig]

I highly doubt it as MMS is through your cellphone service provider's servers.

[SwirlyMats]

true, mms will "never" use wifi. It is a service provided by your operator so it has to go through their network.
Of course one should never say never. Technically it wouldnt be any problems for the operator to allow it via wifi/internet it is just that that they dont want to do it that way .

I just installed v1.0 and it's good so far! Thanks guys.

I do have a few minor suggestions for aesthetic improvement. These are just my opinions, so take them with a grain of salt.

1. Change the designs of the Media buttons, they are intuitive, but they don't have that "stock/original" look. This includes the font/typeface on your buttons (i.e. "BACK", "DROP", "PICK" on the Camera screens). Or at least change the style, because that drop shadow look is not very appealing.

Basically make the application look and feel as if it came native w/ the iPhone in the first place. I don't mind the splash SwirlyMMS screen at all, in fact I think you should leave that there to let the world know who are responsible for this great app! But, the user interface should be as close to what Apple would offer, so it's a seamless and recognizable experience.

2. Add the ability to finger-swipe through the media attachments in addition to / instead of having to press the arrows.

3. Allow all image files to be enlarged when double tapped to the maximum screen size even when their original dimensions are less than the resolution of the iPhone (ala iMMESS).

4. Create Group Lists, so we can send an MMS to a group of numbers in one batch without having to select each of them individually, one at a time.

5. Change the file size font color from blue to something else on the Inbox, Sent, Outbox folders. Why? Because when that file is selected from the list, the blue highlight gradation is exactly the same shade of blue as the font, therefore the file size cannot be seen!

I've only played around with v1.0 for a little bit, I love it, thank you!

Hey Guys great work on 1.0 .


I have one problem and it's when I save the file to media and open it in camera, the pic look fine at first but once it open for a sec it gets all messed up. I mean the pic turn into something crazy and you can't even tell what you looking at. I thought it was the size of the pic I took and I went to a lower size but still having that happen to me. Hope you can help me out and thanks for all of the hard work.
