everybody running IOS 4.0+, u don’t need this app as it’s found under Settings/Messages/Character Count
probably that’s why it’s crashing, 2 functions runnin at the sametime doin the same task…

Scratch that…just found that it’s no longer necessary.

If you go to Settings – Messages, you’ll find a toggle for Character Count, as well as options for repeat alert (for which I’d been using Notifier – which shows up in the springboard as Reminder), group messaging, and a subject.

Echoing Anon’s sentiment…iOS 4.01 on a 3GS (MC) jailbroken with JailBreakMe.com.

SMS Helper causes message app to crash when tapping “Messages” to move back to the message list. Removing the app fixes the issue.

Also hoping for a quick update, as I’m sure that many, many people find this tool to be extremely useful.

Just upgraded to 4.0.1 on a 3G iPhone. I don’t see the counter and when I tap on “Messages” to to back to the list of messages, the Messages App crashes everytime. Only fix is to remove the SMS Helper app :( I hope an update comes out soon!

Very hand tweak, I love the character counter with its little flip animation. :D

Is there any way to have the popup show both received and sent messages for a given period? I assumed the totals shown included both until I looked closer, whoops.
