Now won’t send messages ### 2/5 — Bought extra icons and no ads *2018-04-03, version 2.10* Still got the Ads, screen partially opens, eventually loads, seemed a good idea at the time. ### 3/5 — Crashed *2016-03-07, version 2.10* Pretty much the same as the other two. I don't know what the differenc is between those three apps. They're all named the same thing. I tried all three and this one crashed. ### 1/5 — Does not register purchase and no customer support *2015-09-08, version 2.9.2* I purchased this app and the ads do not go away. Has an option to restore purchases which does nothing. I have emailed the developers two times and have not received a response. ### 1/5 — Broken with the last update *2015-08-17, version 2.9.2* This used to be a great app & in some ways still is. The problem is that when you try to change a contact's group it adds it to the new group but doesn't remove it from the old group. This just started with the last update. The solution in the FAQ's doesn't work & the developers don't respond to bug reports. Also all 3 versions of this app in the App Store are the same so I'm not sure what the point is. ### 1/5 — Incompatible with iPhone 5 Onward *2015-07-16, version 1.3* Doesn't work for 5, 5S, and 6. ### 1/5 — Worthless app *2015-07-15, version 1.3* It keeps crashing and sometimes doesn't even open. ### 1/5 — Constantly crashes *2015-06-30, version 1.3* I downloaded this app in an effort to manage my contact groups without having to use iCloud on a laptop. It even came recommended by an online review I read. It crashed every time I tried to do something on it including the first time it opened and asked for access to my contacts. I promptly deleted it. I am running a 6+ 64GB. ### 1/5 — Absolutely worthless *2015-06-21, version 1.3* It crashed before I could even hit the confirm button to give it access to my contacts. I reopened it and tried selecting a bunch of contacts, then tapped directly on one instead of the radio button by mistake which caused it to crash and forget everything I'd selected. I reopened it again and tried selecting only about 10 contacts and tapped the actions arrow and the app froze. Tried doing that again and it froze again. The whole reason I downloaded this was to save time deleting multiple contacts at once. This app just wasted my time. It doesn't matter if it's free if it doesn't work at all. ### 2/5 — Worthless on iPhone 5s with 8.3 *2015-05-31, version 1.3* Crashes all the time. You can start using an option and you think it's working awesomely...then crashes. Or the submit button is missing. Or graphics are overlapping. Tried for five minutes to set up a group and it crashed about 10 times. ### 1/5 — Great idea but… *2015-05-17, version 1.3* Crashes after you choose a few contacts. Can't delete anything because of this. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2015-05-14, version 1.3* Can't even open it. Crashes. I have iOS 8.1.1 ### 1/5 — Absolutely does not work!!! :( *2015-01-31, version 1.3* Downloaded the app twice and every time I click on it, it instantly logs back out each and every time. I deleted it! :( ### 1/5 — Crashes, crashes, then crashes *2014-03-02, version 1.3* You really get what you pay for. Crashed 3 times in 3 seconds. ### 3/5 — Groups *2013-12-26, version 1.3* Would love to be able to enter group when creating a new contact, but more importantly be able to send a message when viewing the contact as I can only make a call. If anyone can help I'd love to hear from you. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2013-12-20, version 1.3* Not usable, crashes on iPhone 5S/w IOS 7 ### 1/5 — Crashes *2013-10-17, version 1.3* Just downloaded app... Crashes immediately when open. Please fix ASAP! ### 1/5 — Can't even open! *2013-10-08, version 1.3* Can't even open it, just crashes! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — terrible support *2022-01-14, version 2.10* two groups disappeared the next day. no support. sad because it has good potential ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2020-12-16, version 2.10* Was a great app till it stopped working? ### 1/5 — Doesn't work anymore *2020-11-26, version 2.10* Help! ### 1/5 — No longer works *2020-09-21, version 2.10* The app quit working with the iOS 14 update (the app opened with blank screen). Deleted and reinstalled but still problems. App support is nonexistent. No response to 2 requests for help. ### 1/5 — SSSLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW *2020-02-26, version 2.10* This app worked great after installing entered my group name and contacts ok for about 5 minutes then... When I tried to add a name to a group it was running so slow worse than waiting on cold honey to pour I tried rebooting my iPhone but still slow Reinstalled and still just as bad ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-02-02, version 2.10* Just downloaded this app to make things easier for group texts. If I close the app the contacts disappear out the groups I’ve created, I’m getting double contacts groups. Needless to say I’ve deleted this app after only 45 mins. ### 1/5 — App crashes *2018-09-07, version 2.10* I really wish I could get a refund! ### 1/5 — Rip off *2017-09-26, version 2.10* I paid for ad free I still have ads. I downloaded another version same deal I couldn't get to the upgrade option ### 1/5 — Hosed IOS-MacOS Contacts *2016-09-03, version 2.10* Totally INEXCUSABLE: app deletes an IOS Contacts Group completely from all devices/sources, when a Groups Free group is deleted within this app!! You provide virtually no documentation of your app, no alerts when user removes a Groups Free group, then allow it's commands to fundamentally alter the entire IOS-MacOS architecture for a core Apple application.  Buyer BEWARE ### 1/5 — Stop making new apps. Just fix the old ones. *2016-01-04, version 2.9.2* I got this app (and the two identical from the same company) to make contact groups. You are able to make the group and add all of the contacts to it, then you are supposed to push done. When you push done, the app crashes and the group does not save. Pointless. All three apps do the same thing. All three uninstalled immediately. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very useful app! *2014-08-20, version 1.3* This is a great app and I use it several times every day. Highly recommend!!! ### 5/5 — Works fine! *2013-09-25, version 1.3* Does what it should let's me email or message groups. Thanks ### 5/5 — Manager *2013-08-07, version 1.3* Wow talk about elegance in design this App is brilliant. We use it to group different types of prospects/& customers for follow texting & emailing. It is easy and intuitive to use! ### 5/5 — Great AP and it works. *2013-05-15, version 1.3* Exactly what I've been looking for. The one thing missing from iPhone and I finally found a way to do it. Any group name you can think of. Will be passing this along to family and friends. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2013-04-11, version 1.3* Works perfectly ### 5/5 — Group *2013-03-24, version 1.3* Very good ### 5/5 — iPhone groups *2013-03-18, version 1.3* Very decent app! Especially as there's no function to store groups in ur iPhone! Really does the trick ### 5/5 — Excellent *2013-02-26, version 1.3* I have used other apps before but this the best. I have some issues with sending group texts to larger group. Emails work fine Any suggestions. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2013-02-18, version 1.3* I like it ### 5/5 — Works Great!!! *2013-02-11, version 1.3* This app works great! For the less enlightened, you need to create the group and send the text from within the app. Works fine if you actually take the time to think while using it. You cant send a message from the messages icon on the screen. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
