Friends

Release Notes

You can now send an sms message to a mobile phone number.
To do so, hold your finger on the button for about 2 seconds and then click the button that says "Send Text Message"
If you create a button for a phone number that you've labeled "text" or "sms" in your Contacts app, that button will always open the Text app with the person's number set as the recipient.
Some minor bug fixes

You can now choose to have more than 6 buttons per page. In the settings app, there's now a Friends settings section. By choosing it, you can choose between 6, 12 or 20 buttons per page. So if you're the kind of person who wants to have a lot of small buttons rather than a few large ones, now you can do it.
Some user interface improvements and minor performance enhancements

Load time has been improved.
Swiping between pages is now much smoother. Pages should no longer “jump the tracks” as they used to.
Mobileme fix: fixed a problem where Friends would get confused and lose contact info after a synch (this may have been related to MobileMe)
You can now set a different picture for a person’s home and mobile number by changing the picture after the button is added
It’s now possible to set a different photo for a button than the one available in your contacts list.
Changing or deleting a person’s photo in Friends will no longer affect that contact’s photo in your contacts list.
Deleting a contact from your contacts list will no longer delete it from Friends
Changing a contact’s phone number in the contacts list will no longer change the contact’s phone number in Friends.

It’s now possible to delete a button or change its picture by holding down on the button for a second as well as the old way of swiping across it
improved loading time. Friends shouldn’t take as long to draw on load now.
added a warning explaining that changes to a button’s picture will change the picture of the contact istself
If you delete a person from your contacts list, any buttons for that person will now be deleted as well.
Added tutorial movies to the app itself, so you don’t have to visit the website to view tutorial movies.
a slight change in the layout of the application
fixed the icon on the App Store
If Friends happens to crash repeatedly, it will attempt to prevent further crashes by removing old buttons. Not a prerfect solution, but at least usable.
