Terrible

Not user friendly AT ALL!!

1. You have to send INDIVIDUAL text messages. Not in one text blast, as suggested in advertising

2. Worse, in my group of 95, it tells me that 37 people didn’t get sent a message - WITHOUT TELLING ME WHICH 37!!! So now I have to cross reference which people got the message in my inbox

3. And of course, there’s no number to call for tech support.

I dropped this waste of money right away!!

Useless

I downloaded this as there is a Reddit post stating you can schedule texts from this app. There is actually no way to schedule texts on this app.

Another app that doesn’t give you pricing until you install it

Is there a problem?

Hello, why can't I log in after I canceled my account and changed to another number? It says that the verification of phone number failed.

Failed to verify the phone number

Just tried the app, but can’t get past the number verification process due to “Exceeded quota.”? I don’t know what that really means and ir doesn’t say much of what it is either. I just opened the app, how can I exceed the quota if I am just trying it for the first time?

Failed to verify…

FEXT Lifetime Unlimited downloaded successfully. I’m still unsure if that means unlimited use without any subscription or there’s still a subscription required. It’s irrelevant because when entering my phone number I got the following error, “Failed to verify the phone number
Exceeded quota.” I don’t know what that means but I can’t go any farther.
I’m deleting FEXT until I get a response from the developer.

Doesn’t work.

Cannot even login. I use the same number and Apple ID. Don’t waste your time and money.

Soliciting Rating Before Using

Fext sounds like a useful app designed for productivity. However, the app review pops up after installation at first launch. Can’t give an honest review if users haven’t used it. Please disable. Thank you.

Something is not right?

I downloaded the app from a free app service. I followed the instructions and chose the free lifetime account. When I looked at my account status, I found that my next payment was due on July 4. Reading some of the other reviews and seeing that on the screen heightened my caution about moving forward with the app, so I deleted the account. It’s a great idea, and I don’t know how the app really works, but when you have that initial spider sense that something doesn’t add up it’s better to say no.

Hi AzRanger3, Thank you very much for using Fext and sharing your review. You are absolutely right, during the free app promotion we forgot to update the text that should show you your next billing, causing confusion. The app during the promo is absolutely free and there is nothing hidden or sneaky to bill any of our users. We are again very sorry for the confusion and hope you can give us another chance. Please let us know at contact@pericarp.io if there is anything we can help you with. Best, Pericarp Team

Clunky hard to use

Unfortunately I have access until next year because I bought a year of this. Won't use it. You can add contacts. Tried to figure out how to delete them. Nope. There is no help function, so when you get stuck you're stuck. Tried to create a group. Can't save it. It's pretty useless. $50 down the drain.

Cannot send out schedule text

I purchased Fext for the second time specifically to use its scheduled text messaging feature. Unfortunately, I’ve discovered that this function requires a Pro number. I’ve searched through numerous area codes across different states, but no numbers are available at all. Without a Pro number, I can’t send scheduled texts—which is incredibly frustrating given that I just bought the service. At this point, I’m really not sure what to do next.

Hi Anazzz1347hjjg, Thank you so much for taking the time to use Fext and share your review. We were very happy to hear you like and use what we’ve built for you. The issue was intermittent and is now fixed :) We would love to make it without subscriptions, however, due to text messages having a cost to us we had to go down this path. Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback at contact@pericarp.io. Best, Pericarp Team

Pro Number

I agree with the previous comment. I searched for numbers for a while and had no match. I knew I would find a comment about this here. This app is disappointing. For an app that charges 120$ a year, plus charges for a certain amount of messages to be sent, Im surprised they don’t have a auto search function for numbers rather than inconveniencing the customer with a manual search.

App is broken

Paid for platinum and the app won’t let me choose a pro number to schedule texts. It keeps telling me no numbers are available in that region after trying nearly all of them.

Scam！ told me it’s a trial but charge me annual fee

It’s a total scam. I want to try out the trial but it turns out didn’t work as it is supposed to be. I canceled it immediately, but I’ve already charged the annual fee!!
