It's my understanding that some of the key features are not possible under iOS due to restrictions in the SDK, namely:
- Reception of SMS by the app and subsequent features (like automatically reading the SMS aloud) because iOS doesn't allow the app to either be notified of an SMS or to intercept SMSs before the other SMS-handling apps (like Android does)
- Sending an SMS directly from the phone programatically - as iOS demands that the SMS send form is presented to the user and then requires a button to be tapped. So you'd be reduced to sending via an SMS gateway using a data connection.
I'd really like to be wrong here as we're currently dealing with these limitations too, so if anyone has any counter experience, I'd love to know about it

BTW, love the app Spenser. Well done!
