About Texter

Texter allows you to create a tree of messages which is then sent to your Pebble and allows you to shoot off quick replies right from your watch.

Now with the ability to write messages from scratch on your Pebble.

Navigation
----------------

The app uses a navigation system whereby the action in bold is performed on a single click and the action not in bold is performed on a long press of the key. The back button returns you to the previous list.

How to Use
----------------

When the app is launched you are given the option to message either the last person who you had a conversation with or the first person in your favourite list. A long press on either takes you to a list of 6.

You can then navigate the tree of messages which you can customise on the companion app. Anything prefixed with a + means it is a sub menu. Anything else is a message that when you click will send the relevant message to the person you selected.

How to Enter Messages From Scratch
--------------------

The input method changes a bit when you are in text entry mode. The button layout is as follows:

* Single button presses take you through the letter tree
* Hold up to switch to caps and symbols
* Hold down to go back to previous tree level
* Hold select to send the message

This app is open source: https://github.com/tocsick/texter
The text input is based off: https://github.com/vgmoose/tertiary_text

I like it and all. No issues but I cannot figure out how to do a space between words ? Is that not an option?

K70%
by K####:

There is no apparent way to enter custom text mode. This app only does half of what it claims to do.

Its a very good watchapp for pebble, but it doesn't always work, what I mean is sometimes when I launch the app on my pebble it will sometimes stay on the loading screen...

Just dont.

U70%
by U####:

Its a bit confusing at first, but once you play with it, IT'S AWESOME! The ability to easily create so many custom message reply from custom templates is very useful.

J70%
by J####:

This is probably due to the fact that I don't usually delete text conversations from my phone and that I am using the pebble classic but either way this app still takes forever to load my conversations I have yet to try and see what happens if I delete the conversations but I don't think that is a compromise I am willing to make for this app although based on the description it seems incredibly useful. (Which is why 2 stars instead of 1)

H70%
by H####:

Everything is working as expected, however there does not appear to be any option to compose an SMS message from scratch, which the description clearly claims it can do. It could be that I'm missing something, but there aren't instructions anywhere to help me with this.

N70%
by N####:

I loved this app at first but now all it does is crash.. Won't work at all...

N70%
by N####:

I try to look at it and it shuts off and I have to keep pressing the button to turn it back on. Even after that it won't let me send personal messages.

X70%

My pebble is stuck saying 'loading' though the app never loads

N70%
by N####:

Update: Works now. It is great. I love being able to build the "trees". I am a first responder and works great to relay short updates, ETAs and position reports.

Takes a Lil time to type but it does the job

N70%

When this app loads it works well. When it doesn't it becomes very frustrating.

Dev! Please help, I love this app, by far the best, but how do you insert a space when texting from scratch!?

I70%
by I####:

I'm really struggling to get my head around this. Too easy to delete entries by accident. It could be really useful for me though so I'll press on and update the score if I can work it out.

It takes a little while to get the hang of it but, once you get it, it is very fast and effective.

But very buggy. I have a lot if issues with. But the idea is perfect!

Amazing app that gives you a efficient and easy way to reply to text messages...I really like the tree format to give so many options.

I use hangouts with Google voice integration and this app can't send texts that originate from my Google voice number. Also it doesn't show text messages received in hangouts on my recent contracts.

Great app. Easy to use. Easy to customize. This should be on every Pebble.

O70%
by O####:

The best way to full-functional SMS communication from Pebble. Finally you can create really personalized messages without typing. Fast, easy, customisable. And international support is working now (tested with Russian with PebbleBits custom firmware together). Highly recommended! :)

Can see this as a very promising app. Still some rough edges, but I know it will be refined

This makes the pebble watch even more useful. Great design. Thanks!

I really like the app, but there's a couple small issues with the companion app. First, there's no way to scroll through the settings pages, and if I have more than 1 favorite contact the save button gets pushed off the screen and I am unable to save. Second, I cannot have any colons ':' in message trees, either as titles or messages. But beyond those, great app!

Easy to use and customise. Must have for pebble wearers.
