The app is not working this is fraud in disguise. ### 1/5 — Payant non fonctionnel *2023-05-30, version 3.1.0* Il faut payer et l’application ne fonctionne même pas ### 1/5 — Should be removed from the App Store *2023-03-08* This app is completely broken and there is no customer support. It didn’t even try to work. And I had to purchase credits to use in the first place. I entered my information to lodge a complaint but who knows where my info is going as there is no way to contact anyone. I bet this app takes your money and then sells your info on the deep web. The app told me to be patient and my issue should be resolved in a couple of days. Really? Just terrible. Take this down so more people don’t get screwed over. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht unter iOS15 *2021-11-28, version 3.1.0* Abzocke. App funktioniert nicht. ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-11-10, version 3.1.0* This app does not work. Refund requested. ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-09-13* Looks like I should have read the reviews... wasted 5.99 (paid for codes) input message and info and it’s loading with no results ### 1/5 — Flash text *2020-06-15* Rip off don’t get Waste of money Trying to get help doesn’t load Lesson learned ### 1/5 — Stay away! *2020-05-05* I don’t usually write reviews, but this is noteworthy and can be summed up with stay away, far away, from this app. Even if you can get past the $1 per message to send the flash texts, the activation code never arrives to activate the app. You’re asked to report that to the developers homesite and, is that German, that the page is scripted in? You can change that, click the flag in the top right corner, then click support and file the issue. You’re wasting your time though, I know because I did and now I’m out $6 bucks on an app I never got to use. ### 1/5 — Total ripoff *2020-05-04* This is a total nonsense app that doesn't do nothing. I wasted over 12 dollar to buy nonsense credit that does nothing. Please don't download this app, I'm uninstalling now. ## Frequently asked questions about Flash Text Message ### What is a flash text message?
