iOS4 is killing txtAgif :( Sudden death app

If you have upgraded your iPhone OS to the new iOS4, you may experience a sudden exit when using txtAgif app. iOS4 has changed something is killing txtAgif :(

After selecting an animation for the list, you will see the details for the animation. Then tap on Related or Show More By to view another list of related animations. When you tap on the back button to go back to the previous page, the app will suddenly quit. This is a small but irritating bug. We are now investigating and will fix this in our new version for iOS4.  Otherwise, txtAgif works fine in iOS4 and you can still continue to get your "animation" fix.

Our new version (which should be out soon) will take advantage of the new features available in iOS4, e.g. fast-app switching. It will make txtAgif even better!

BTW, we now have 5000+ animations in txtAgif. Wow! Next target 10,000 animations.

We are angry! Paid app is more "popular" than Free app?!

An outrageous situation has happened. In AppStore, we found 2 competitive apps in the Top Paid Apps list for the social networking category. These 2 paid apps do not have as many features as txtAgif. In fact, txtAgif provides what they have and more. Plus, our app is FREE! Yes, like free lunch/beer.

It is ridiculous that a free and better app is losing out to these paid apps. Dear iPhone owners, please be aware that you do not need to pay. Use free app txtAgif to get animations for your MMS, Emails and Tweets. You can even upload your own animations to txtAgif.

Come on, we need you to rectify this injustice. Get txtAgif into the Top Free App list!

We are angry! Paid app is more "popular" than Free app?!

How to prepare an animated GIF for MMS via txtAgif

Hello class, today we are going to learn how to resize an animated GIF that you have downloaded from the web so that it can be uploaded to txtAgif.com ready for MMS by the world! txtAgif only accepts animated GIF file up to 100 KB with a maximum resolution of 160x120.

1. Get the free open-source program Gifsicle (supports Windows, Mac, Linux).
2. Open a command prompt window. 
3. Execute this command to resize and optimize your GIF:
• If your GIF's width is longer than its height: gifsicle -O2 -k100 -V --resize 160x_ path-to-your-gif-file.gif > new-gif-file.gif
• If your GIF's height is longer than its width: gifsicle -O2 -k100 -V --resize _x120 path-to-your-gif-file.gif > new-gif-file.gif 
• If there's no need to resize: gifsicle -O2 -k100 -V path-to-your-gif-file.gif > new-gif-file.gif
4. If the new optimized GIF file is still larger than 100 KB, you can decrease the number of colors by reducing the k parameter value. E.g. gifsicle -O2 -k50 -V path-to-your-gif-file.gif > new-gif-file.gif
5. Upload the new optimized GIF to txtAgif.com.

Gifsicle is a very powerful free software to edit your animated GIF file. You can learn more here.

Alright, class is over. Start uploading :)
