Do you hear that? That's Sebastien Page popping open a bottle of the finest bubbly in celebration of the public release of biteSMS for iOS 7. Of, course, I'm joking. Sebastien would likely save his bubbly for a more apt occasion, but he's no doubt happy to hear about biteSMS' release, and for good reason.

Despite some of the criticism I've heaped on biteSMS over the years, it's still without a doubt one of the finest, and one of the most cared-for jailbreak apps in history. I mean, who else can you think of that meticulously updates its apps as much as the folks behind bite do? Instead of milking the success of biteSMS, it's always being worked on, perfected, and enhanced for the customer.

biteSMS 8.0, which is the first public release sporting the highly coveted iOS 7 compatibility, is a pivotal change for the app's look. Of course, the creators of biteSMS had to match the style of iOS 7, which was, besides the under-the-hood changes, one of the more pressing issues for them to get right.

I'm happy to report that biteSMS 8.0 looks great, and works in the same familiar fashion that we've all grown accustomed to over the years. If you're a bite fan, you're not going to be disappointed. If you're new to the world of biteSMS, then you're in for a treat. Have a look at our full walkthrough after the break as we explore what has made biteSMS such a loved Messages app enhancement over the years.
