Since yesterday there’s a new version of iRealSMS out there – for all of us who jailbroke their iPhone.

iRealSMS comes via Cydia and offers a landscape mode for “everything SMS”, meaning that you can’t only use the iPhone in landscape mode for typing new messages, no, you also can read your conversations with your iPhone held sideways.

Further more you can organize your messages in folders, save drafts, search messages by sender’s name and text. Features, the original (Apple) SMS.app clearly lacks: character counting, auto-request for “sent-notifications”, turn on/of auto-correction and auto-capitalization.

Sounds great, doesn’t it? The downside: it’s not for free. However, if you, like me, really can’t stand Apple’s SMS.app, it’s definately worth the 10€ (13€). You can purchase iRealSMS at the project’s website.

    Mh i test the the Demo, yes it looks cool, better then MySMS (also not free).
    But the most things can do biteSMS for free.

    Landscape Mode, Forward SMS, Character Counting, Auto Correction off/on,… and you don´t need the credit thing, just go inside settings, change it to “Mobile Carrier” an it works like the normal Text.app over your own carrier.

    Darfts, sent-notifications are not implemented those things are nit worth to pay 10 €

    i´ll stay @ biteSMS

      I second that. i used to use iRealSMS and it had so many bugs, I converted to BiteSMS and am now very happy it supports Landscape mode. I found out last night that if you have already piad for iRealSMS, you still have to pay for the upgrade to version 2.0! How greedy are the developers? I have also read many people have the exact same problems that pre 2.0 had. BiteSMS all the way for me.
