anti-KRAPPS – TextLater

>>> and now for a break from our regularly scheduled programming <<<
anti-KRAPPS is a periodic update highlighting lesser known apps (no one needs another “Google Earth Rocks!” review) which provide high value and excellent functionality. ==================================================================

update 1/8/09: all TextLater download codes have been claimed – thank you

Oh krapps, I forgot to pick up my kid from school!
Oh krapps, I forgot to send that package to the winner of my eBay auction!
Oh krapps, I forgot to sign up for health insurance!
Oh krapps, I forgot to buy fish food!

textlatericon I am busy. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to complete my never-ending task/project list. Although I’m not a hip Google or Outlook Calendar geek (or a Day-Timer dork), I do manage to keep myself fairly well organized. However, similar to most people, I experience my share of “oh krapps” moments.

Well I’m happy to report that my share of “oh krapps” moments have drastically reduced thanks to the TextLater iPhone app. I use this app on a daily basis. In a nutshell, with TextLater, you can schedule text messages to be delivered on a specific date and time. Pretty simple concept, but for my purposes as a self-reminder, its pure genius. TextLater’s possibilities are endless:

textlaterscreen2 > Travel a lot on business? Send daily “Good Morning” texts to your loved one.
> Someone’s birthday? Schedule a “Happy Birthday” text to arrive on that special day.
> Do you suck at romance? Send periodic “I Love You” texts to your wife.
> Promised to deliver McDonald’s lunch to your child at school at noon? Send yourself a reminder at 11:00am.

Sure you can set self-reminders with the horrid native iPhone Calendar app and its lame chime alert … but why? For a mere 99 cents, TextLater is so much better, more convenient and provides greater functionality (not to mention the developer – Skidmore Apps –  just released a fantastic update which shows they are committed to continually improving the app). Heck, with daily “I Love You” text messages, it might be more effective and cheaper than marriage counseling.

FREE TextLater app to KRAPPS Viewers!

Skidmore Apps was kind enough to provide KRAPPS five promo codes which will allow our viewers to download TextLater for FREE. Be one of the first 5 readers to tweet on Twitter:

“got iPhone? visit KRAPPS! outing whacky, weird, stupid & strange apps for your entertainment. http://KRAPPS.com”

We will then direct message you the download code while supplies last. Make sure you follow us on Twitter – @KRAPPS – so we can direct message the code.

  • TextLater really is an awesome app … we purchased it the day it was released – it had a few annoyances back then, but with the latest update, the developer really took this app to the next level. For some reason we really pay attention to text message notifications – more so than email or twitter or whatever – so for us, this app makes total sense
