You must be using the UI option for “Apple Like Conversation UI”…this UI is infact in beta.. thats why there is an option to disable it. When we fine tune it your going to eat those words I promise. We threw it in there to give you a taste of what we are working on.. which is a more stock looking interface.
Insertion of drafts, smilies & templates from within the conversation is coming soon!

I hope we can win you back Eric. :)
We have a new UI coming soon, to give it that better feel, and sms credit system we are also playing with at the moment. So expect many more great things from iReal… and then I guess you can expect those things from Bite a little later… lol

Yes, they actually do copy all their stuff, except the alternative sending of SMS through their service. But I have to admit (having bought both apps and trying both) that bitesms just “feels” better.
Besides that, I now started using their service to save money, so ireal is no alternative anymore.
But yes, the innovation comes from ireal

LOL I was thinking the same thing when I was reading through this changelog! I was like, “didn’t iReal just do the same thing?”

The good news is iReal still maintains an edge with it’s lite version, known as iRealQuickSMS. This way the install is light and does only what 3.0 doesn’t already do. Sure there are some minor bits like drafts and some other views in the full version, but luckily 3.0 added all the important parts (copy, forward, selective delete, landscape, MMS etc.) and all that’s needed is quickreply & quicksend.

Just wanted to say thanx iReal! Loving your work! Really excited to get landscape quicksend/reply! Was not expecting that!

I didn’t know it was just one or two guys either. That’s amazing. Inspiring.

whats funny is that without iReal this app would not exist…as ALL of their updates are ports from iReal feature list… like I said before, NO ORIGINAL IDEAS.

The difference is that iReal is one dev programing out of his house and another guy tossing original ideas back and forth.

Now Bite is a company with many devs… but they have no idea what people want, and no idea how to brainstorm innovative ideas.. if you really notice, you will see a great feature come out for iReal… about a month later it comes out for bite… this process has gone on since iReal created QuickReply… then landscape text… then QuickSend… the Favorites list… also Lockscreen QuickReply… and Im sure MANY other features! They are a total rip off… I wonder if the ever sit back and think about how lucky they are to have the geniuses at iReal pumping out the ideas for them to leech off of…

wow.. these guys copy iReal at every turn. Every time iReal puts out something new, bite follows. Does bite ever do anything original?

Still cannot send my lication as before.

There is still a few things missing, like group texting.

I wish i could input in the send to field: clients* and it would choose all contacts that start with that wildcard
