A few days ago, we reported to you that developers behind the well known instant messaging app BiteSMS announced that a beta version of their tweak will be available very soon for iOS 7. Today we would like to announce that BiteSMS 8.0.1 beta now available for download from Cydia store.
BiteSMS packs an impressive features list: quick reply, quick compose, scheduled messages, auto-forward, auto-retry, passcode lock, enhanced privacy, quick access to emoticons, signatures and more…
Once installed, biteSMS will subtly replace the default Messages app on your home screen. The tweak has great performance on an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4, as I personally tested, but remains incompatible with A7 devices like the iPhone 5s. Moreover, as to be expected from a beta release, biteSMS does have a few issues. Multiple users within the tweak’s support forums are reporting problems with the licensing pop-up continuously appearing and a greyed out send button for quick reply.
In order to download BiteSMS tweak, you need to add the following repo in Cydia:
- test-cydia.bitesms.com
After adding the repo, you should see BiteSMS available for download.If the tweak does not show up after installing it, you may need to reinstall MobileSubstrate and Substrate Safe Mode on Cydia. Most of these issues should be ironed out in the final biteSMS version, and a MobileSubstrate update will certainly help too.
