Great app

Sending messages to large groups or the same message to individuals is easy. Blessings to the developers of the app.

Response from developer

We appreciate your kind words and support!

Love the app …one minor suggestion

Update about suggestion in original review: Developer reached out, we discussed the suggestion, and they just provided video of that “missing feature” in action. Should be deployed soon!

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
First - love the app, found it when getting a new phone and my previous app was no longer available for download One suggestion: be able to start a group message to a couple of Groups. Use case: I use the app to provide Afterhours alerts to various teams. Sometimes I need to notify a couple teams at the same time, and have the single message go to personnel in both groups, so any replies are seen by both teams.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you love the app and found it useful. Your suggestion about messaging multiple groups is valuable, and we appreciate you sharing it with us!

Changed app

Before the change five stars now 2. Before only needed to hit send once in a group but now I have to hit send on each person in the group and it shows up to the person as an individual text not a group text. Please fix this. I do group so I don’t have to hit send to everyone now I have 6 groups of 13-14 and have to hit send on each person. This is not more convenient.

Great app except for one thing

When sending a message to more than a few people, the names/numbers take up the whole screen and I can’t get the send button to show to be able to send the message. This is on an iPhone SE, with larger text.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that names and numbers can take up too much space on your iPhone SE. Our upcoming version will address this. Please let us know if the issue continues.

iPhone

Getting to send the message was a bit tricky to begin with but worked out that if I turn the phone sideways and click the icon where you can free hand it shows up the send button

Response from developer

We appreciate your feedback and are glad you found a helpful workaround! Our upcoming version should address the issue. Please let us know if the issue persists.

Can’t get to send tab!

I can write a text to my group. But whe I go to send, the app puts it into a text message and brings up the contacts and a keypad. . . Trouble is the send button is behind the keypad and I can’t get to send.
If I tap the screen to add a new recipient manually, I can see the send icon. Still learning how to manage it.
Would be good if I didn’t have to go through this process though.

Response from developer

To improve your experience, we suggest trying to set the frame size to either 1 or 10. If this doesn't resolve the issue, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team for further assistance.

Send button hard to locate on iPhone 14

When I finish writing my message, the send button is only partially visible.

Also can you give an option of the messages responses going to the whole group instead of the sender only?

Response from developer

Please update the app to the latest version and try again for the hidden button issue. You can also adjust the frame size to 10 or 50 to avoid this problem—refer to the Help menu for details. Regarding group responses, we don't have control over this behavior. However, iOS 18 is expected to support RCS, allowing easier group messaging with Android users once everyone is on Android or iOS 18.

Seems great

It would be great if your app could import the group info from contacts. As it is you have to go through selecting each person individually to set up a group text. But good so far apart from that.

Terrible problems with app

I’ve had the worst experience with this app - I sent a group text to over 90 people and the pp keeps sending the same message repeatedly to some people. One person said they have received the text 15 times in one day. There seems to be no way to stop it. I’ve deleted the app, reset the network settings, even replaced the SIM card but it hasn’t stopped it. I’ve also sent repeated emails to the app help email with no response. It is frustrating, unprofessional, embarrassing and has wasted my time. I wish I had sent the message individually instead. I strongly caution anyone looking to use this app. It’s free but it’s a nightmare.
