Scheduled SMS option

in #utopian-io7 years ago (edited)

Components

QKSMS is an interesting open source SMS application and it's a great alternative to the Stock android SMS. It's the best SMS application on have seen so far, with so many rich features and runs smoothly

Proposal

SMS is a means to communicate with friends and family, with ease and data free. The Art of sending SMS has evolved alot throughout the years. I would want a new rich feature added to QKSMS.
I propose a scheduled SMS option to be added to this application, this might look silly and might not look appealing. But the importance would be felt when it's added.
This should be the first SMS application introducing this feature as I haven't seen it elsewhere.

Mockups / Examples

I would use SMS Scheduler to illustrate this wonderful feature.
Below are screenshots of how this is being used and how it can be added to QKSMS.

Add SMS to be scheduled.

here the red arrow indicates where we can set exact time.
The green arrow where date can be set.
The dotted yellow arrow indicates where we would input the body of our text and recipient number.
The yellow box is where we can set the message to be repeated, a week, monthly or yearly.

It can be added here on QKSMS.

Benefits

I see a whole lot of benefits here, I would lay it out in two.

developer benefits

  • It would be the first Open Source SMS application to have this rich feature,maybe the first SMS application ever.
  • It would lead to more downloads of the application by users who would want to use this features.
    Users Benefits
  • Users would be able to schedule down important business/Personal SMS that needs to be sent at the appropriate time.
  • No more belated birthdays, Users would be able o send their friends and love ones birthday wishes at the appropriate time.
  • Students who needs to send a text to a lecturer at an exact time would enjoy this feature alot. This cased me a week of my life while in school, I couldn't use a text to remind my lecturer at the appointed time she asked for it, while in a meeting.
    I really hope the moderators and developer see this as I do, and make it available as soon as possible.
