Type name for SMS field

[stuart]

I instinctively click the SMS button on the bottom of the screen to text, but have nobody's numbers memorised. The keypad only allows me to enter numbers and the + sign is a tad tedious. Let us type a name into the field and then auto-suggest a number.

I agree with this essential suggestion.

But more important is SMS popups!

Names a + but notification ++++++++++++++. Can a moderator answer whether this is possible or will be possible at some point?

I added a feature request for typing names for SMS recipients.

I updated this thread regarding SMS notifications:

Not sure if this is pointless now that Apple is allowing Google Voice on the App Store, but I've been patiently waiting for this feature for a long time. The ability to type the name of a contact to send a text is essential and I can't comprehend how it was left out. Maybe it was difficult to implement?

No requests are pointless. You can expect to continue seeing improvements in Black Swan regardless of App Store policies.

I added a +1 to this feature request for you. It didn't seem to be a very popular request, but I can see how it would make the app easier to use. Sometimes people need to have a feature before they realize its usefulness.
