## What is Group Text?

Send personalized mass texts to hundreds of contacts at once — every recipient gets a private message that feels like you wrote it just for them. Or switch to group chat mode when you need everyone in one conversation.

Trusted by realtors, coaches, churches, event planners, restaurants, and small business owners across the United States.

WHY MASSTEXTER?

• Personalized 1-on-1 Bulk SMS
Send mass messages that land as individual private texts. Each contact sees only their own message, and every reply comes back to you only.

• Group Chat Mode When You Need It
Switch to group sending when you want everyone to see the conversation — perfect for coordinating events, family chats, or team updates.

• Smart Personalization
Use placeholders like [firstname], [lastname], and custom fields. "Hey [firstname]" becomes "Hey Sarah" automatically. Every contact feels personally addressed.

• Send From Your Own Phone Number
Use your own iPhone number and your regular unlimited texting plan. No business registration required, no separate texting service to sign up for, no per-message charges.

• Pacing Between Messages for Larger Lists
Built-in delays between sends help you space out messages naturally when reaching out to many contacts at once.

• CSV Import & Contact Groups
Import contacts from a CSV file or your iCloud address book. Organize them into reusable groups and update them anytime.

• Templates That Save Hours
Save your most frequently sent messages as templates. Pick one, personalize, send in seconds.

• Image Attachments
Attach photos to your messages — perfect for property listings, event flyers, menus, and product launches.

### 1/5 — New at this

*2026-05-10*

So far it works. I've used it a dozen times. Probably user error, but it's very cumbersome to add contacts to the list., Auto send to the group leaves recipients out. A group list that I created just keep a growing every week, it takes too long to expedite,so if anybody has any feedback on that, I'd love to hear about it

### 1/5 — It was a good thought

*2026-03-04, version 1.7*

In theory, the app is great. I downloaded it onto my Mac computer and had all kinds of problems during the trial phase. I could not sync what I did on my computer to my phone. Even though messages were on, backed up in iCloud. Not sure what happened. Had to cancel after doing all the work to create groups. Sucks.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-02-21*

### 3/5 — Director

*2026-02-16*

Perfect.  Works beautifully

### 1/5 — Joke

*2026-01-29, version 1.6.2*

Once u leave the app or the app freezes u need to start all over again. Just a headache wish you could pause and resume so it would save u from unticking the people who texts have been sent to !!!

### 1/5 — Achat version pro ne marche pas

Ne marche pas

### 5/5 — Big group text

*2026-01-21*

It’s made it lot easier to send text to lot people straight to the phone and not have to open another app to see if they got the message. Love it and it’s worth the money.
