Automatic SMS Web Backup for Android Phones Launched

The Treasuremytext Android App is now available on the Android Market (U.S. Only)

It took a little longer than expected but resulted in some significant changes to the app since we won the Developer Challenge based on a feedback from judges.

This is our first app which fulfills the request of many users which is for automatic backup of messages to Treasuremytext. We plan to roll this out to more smartphones in the future. This is where we see the future of Treasuremytext. Although SMS forwarding will always be an option, with more people taking up Smartphones we’re able to give people a much better experience through an app.

One thing we worked very hard on and are incredibly pleased with is the zero configuration authentication process we’ve implemented. It implements OAuth which is seen in our iPhone app but without need for passwords, logins and all that to’ing and fro’ing from site to app. This is still a pain on a mobile device and we think this is a much better way to do it. We’ll talk more about the actual implementation in a future post.

We’re trying to put together a quick video demo but in the meantime just go grab it and try it out, there are screenshots here.

We’re not sure how to link to the actual app in Market but just go to it on your Android phone and search for Treasuremytext in the Communication Apps section.
