It’s broken and needs fixing ### 5/5 — Great app - Practical *2025-03-08, version 5.3* Works great and easy to use ### 4/5 — Does things almost perfectly! *2025-03-02, version 5.3* I use this for a few groups I regularly message to. Only small glitch is if I have a large number of addresses, it is hard to get to the Send button. ### 3/5 — slow and doesn’t always send have to try multiple time *2025-02-24, version 5.3* slow unreliable to when i does and doesn’t send ### 5/5 — Great app - Practical *2025-01-19, version 5.3* Works great and easy to use ### 1/5 — Zero *2025-01-12, version 5.3* I was scammed get me out ### 3/5 — No BCC *2025-01-12* From the pictures, it looks like you can send BCC texts, but you can’t.

Thank you developer ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Let's get better *2026-05-20, version 5.14.1* I wish the app worked better. It says it sent texts and it doesn't. ### 1/5 — App didn’t work *2026-02-23, version 5.12* I’m using this app since 2023 it’s good before but 2025 January still not working properly ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-02-23, version 5.12* Tapping Add Group, entering a name, then clicking Done, resulting in nothing. Cannot add a group, so cannot use. Duff! iOS 17.5.1 iPhone 12 ### 1/5 — Can’t send mass text, only group. *2026-02-21, version 5.12* 🤦🏽‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Keep freezing *2026-02-18, version 5.12* This app keeps freezing every time I try sending a message ### 1/5 — Todd *2026-01-03, version 5.10.1* I have so much trouble getting messages through, especially with pictures most times it comes up not delivered ### 1/5 — Massive issues with large lists *2026-01-01, version 5.10.1* I added a list with 127 contacts. It tries to insert all at once then the message box at the bottom is hidden as all the names are present in the to field blocking the message field and send button so sending is difficult requiring a lot of screen orientation changes to try and get it to display send. Then it said message sending has failed (when it hadn’t) causing me to try again and ending up sending twice. It would be 5 stars if the app managed this by: 1. Fixing the large contact list bug, 2. Sending in smaller batches in a managed way to avoid that issue. If it’s only possible to just ping the lists to messages to send, the app could intelligently detect large lists and auto split them (Ie list name 1/2, list name 2/2 etc with a user info pop up). If these become fixed I will update my review. ### 1/5 — Sluggish app *2025-12-25, version 5.9* Always crashes and just wastes your time. Used to be good but recently just been crashing like hell ### 1/5 — Not great *2025-01-22, version 5.3* Cannot add to a group on mass. Cannot read notes etc in a contact. Support doesn’t reply. ### 1/5 — Not helpful for privacy *2025-01-15, version 5.3* Needed privacy. Did not want everyone to see the list of recipients. Also did not want group to see individual replies. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome group text app *2026-07-07, version 5.14.1* Works great, great functionalities and options for sending multiple texts ### 5/5 — Great app. *2026-02-17, version 5.12* After just a few days of using the app I’m very happy with the ease of use. ### 5/5 — Excellent group SMS app - perfect for Christmas and New Year. *2026-01-18, version 5.11* Update after response from dev on 4/1/26: Thank you for your reply and apologies for my previous review, it appears you have already mitigated this issue - I have tested and you are correct, I have raised my erroneous 1 star review to 5 stars. My apologies again. PS, a more “in your face” explanation pop up of the framing feature when adding large lists might help users from making this error again.
