Works beautifully ### 3/5 — Need improvement *2025-12-31* Need to have all the sending in the background like WhatsApp a broadcast just one send and done! ### 5/5 — Great app!

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. ### 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 *2026-01-28* Ne marche pas ### 1/5 — Like a scam *2026-01-18* I accept to have a week trial then the app charge my card right away, and It doesn’t even have an option to see my subscription info or to cancel it. Ridiculous ### 1/5 — Costly *2025-12-30* Highly costly ### 1/5 — 👎👎👎 *2025-12-18, version 1.6.2* Muy lenta y muchas fallas ### 1/5 — No real free version *2025-10-11, version 1.6* Claims to have a free version, lets you send one message, then forces you to join premium. ### 1/5 — I want to subscribe *2025-09-17* Does it comes with it own number or does it have to use my preexisting number on my phone ? What if my phone has no SIM card service or app with number ? Is there any app that comes with it down number and can send mass text ? ### 1/5 — App *2025-04-24, version 1.4.2* The app will not work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Muy bueno *2026-06-08, version 1.8.1* Muy bueno ### 5/5 — Great for business! *2026-05-15* This is a great app if you’re a business owner who uses sms for marketing! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-02-21* We used this to send out party invites and it worked very well! ### 5/5 — Je voudrais avoir une facture de mon abonnement merci *2026-01-22* Une grande aide pour mon association merci ### 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.
