TextNow 3.3.2 submitted to App Store
We recently submitted an update of TextNow to the App Store. You will appreciate the minor tweaks we made to the app in this update. We moved the send button to the top – so no more accidental sending (check out screen shot). The new backgrounds that didn’t end up in 3.3.1 will be in 3.3.2 (see post below).
TextNow Update 3.3.1 submitted to App Store
An update has been submitted to Apple with some minor, but important changes:
-Fixed crashing on occasions when messages arrive
-Made the text input box smaller so it doesn’t always take up an extra line (see screenshot)
-Made improvements to the app load time
In the next next update, we will also move the send button up to where it was before. We didn’t want to risk this update being rejected by Apple for it looking too similar to the default texting app since it has very important bug fixes in it.
And one more thing…
We didn’t want to submit an update without anything new and cool – so, we have included another bundle of free backgrounds in this update. Some screenshots of them are below. 
TextNow 3.3 is out in App Store
TextNow 3.3 is now in the App Store.
What is new in 3.3?
-Parses URLs in speech bubbles so you can just tap the URL to visit
-Ability to add contact information to your Address Book directly from the app
-Ability to copy individual texts from the speech bubble
-Fix the bug where sometimes the sending gets stuck
-Time stamps for the speech bubbles
-Much slicker looking text input UI
-Option to forward a copy of your texts to an email address
-Shortcut to call contact from the app

-Worked really hard to make receiving messages much faster
Another change in 3.3 is the pricing structure. The app now has an option for year-to-year subscription or lifetime subscription. The app is now $0.99 to download, which includes 3 months of service. A year can be renewed at $3.99 and a lifetime subscription can be purchased at $7.99 (in app). This change will not affect existing users who bought the app already. All existing users will be able to keep their lifetime subscription without paying extra.
