### 5/5 — Best ever!

*2022-06-17, version 1.0.6*

I love this app! I can make groups, and then add people and remove people right in the text. It’s so easy to send texts to different groups without having to figure which group it is that u want to use, then, if u choose, u can add and remove people and old numbers that have been changed.

### 1/5 — Can’t send texts using the app anymore

*2021-11-29, version 1.0.6*

App all of a sudden stopped working. It doesn’t pull contacts in anymore just numbers and it won’t send texts. Please update

### 3/5 — Great app but...

*2020-09-21, version 1.0.6*

Needs an update desperately! It’s been over a year since last update. Please add the ability to schedule group text for a later time. Also, I saw someone review that this is only for iMessages but that is not true! You have to turn on “send as sms” in you iMessage settings and presto!

### 2/5 — Only works with iMessage

*2019-11-19, version 1.0.6*

I wanted to use this to send group messages that if replied to would only come to me and not the whole group. 
I turn off iMessage, as the instructions say. But then it won’t send at all. 
However I can send a group iMessage to 47 different phones.

### 4/5 — Replies

*2019-10-16, version 1.0.6*

Does this app allow you to reply back to the group?

### 4/5 — needs update iOS 13+

*2019-09-30, version 1.0.6*

add dark mode

### 5/5 — Ease of use

*2019-08-22, version 1.0.6*

Very easy to use and modify!!!
Has been a pleasure to use.....

### 4/5 — Group Text+

*2019-07-29, version 1.0.6*

So far so good. I am using this to send group text to our church members.

### 1/5 — Mostly works?

*2019-07-26, version 1.0.6*

This app arbitrarily decides to do mass texts in imessage sometimes even when it is turned off. This needs to be fixed, or made more transparent, before I would give it a positive rating. If you can’t be sure it will work properly, you can’t risk mass texting people if there is a chance they will all be incorrectly messaged or see each other’s phone numbers. If this can happen, then this app is practically unusable based off of what it is advertised to do/what you pay for

### 5/5 — Group text

*2019-06-16, version 1.0.6*

Great app, I use it often.
