GV Mobile +

September 13th, 2010

Earlier today I re-submitted GV Mobile + (former GV Mobile) to the App Store. It’s currently undergoing review which should last 7-13 days before hitting the U.S App Store. It WILL be on the Canadian App Store, but realize you have some extra hoops to jump through to make Google Voice work. GV Mobile + will cost $2.99 , the same as when it first hit the App Store over a year ago. After a week or so, I’ll have a window of time set with minimal notice for people to get the app at the cost of $0. Just follow me on Twitter, because that is the ONLY place I will announce it.

While it’s hard for me to remember every change that occurred between the old App Store (FREE Cydia) version and this new version, here is a short list:

Keypad

  • New graphics for the keypad
  • Internal favorites (Apple doesn’t provide access to the iPhone Favorites)
  • Copy/Paste into keypad
  • Phone number recognition (when you type a number in your contacts, it shows the name)
  • Tones stay on when key held down
  • Delete button when held down keeps deleting

SMS

  • Full landscape support
  • Redesigned Reply/New SMS view
  • Copy SMS messages
  • Contact look-up when entering in name in the New SMS view
  • Action menu for each SMS which allows quick call back and adding person to iPhone contacts
  • Name look-up for SMS messages from a phone number (will cross reference your iPhone contacts for a name)

History

  • Action menu for each history entry which allows quick call back, SMS, and adding person to iPhone contacts
  • Full landscape support

Voicemail

  • Full landscape support
  • Transcriptions
  • Improved play bar (play/pause, scrubber, transcription toggle)
  • Action menu for each voice mail entry which allows quick call back, SMS, and adding person to iPhone contacts

Settings

  • Multiple accounts
  • Offline dialing (initiate a call without using data connection)
  • Data Sync (multiple methods)
  • Default Area Code (since GV requires 10 digit numbers, if set, you can still enter local number without entering the area code)
  • Open to Tab
  • Enable/Disable Do No Disturb
  • Change Call Screening settings
  • Enable/Disable Call Presentation

A lot more in the back end.

Upcoming Major Features

Push is planned.
Alternate dialing is planned.
VoIP is planned, but will take some time. :)
A number of other features are slated for the next update.

    That’s something on Google’s side of things. Nothing Sean can do about it.

    anyone else crashing when opening a sms? I can open a voice mail, but If I open a sms from the inbox I crash to the spring board. Everything else seems fine.

    Apps works great. Thanks for giving us an alternative to Google’s half hearted attempt. One question though. Is it possible to start dailing a persons name using T9 on the keypad and have it pull up a list of contacts that match the patturn of numbers. My Android phone does this and I miss it. For example if I want to dial John Smith, I would open up the keypad and start dialing 564 which would equate out to joh.

    Question: Can this app be used to edit gVoice settings for a single contact? for example, when this contact calls me, I want to ring my home. I would really like to be able to do this on my iTouch and iPad. Currently, the only way I can do this is on my PC.
