Great App

Exactly what I need to send out my daily devotions.

Great app

Keep improving it. Impressive especially for the price

Would not recommend

I just needed a simple app to use for group texting at our church. I am constantly having to rebuild my groups and now, my groups of disappeared completely. There doesn’t seem to be any real customer support.

Very useful app

Use this app quite regularly and it’s very useful and user friendly.

Difficult

Just tried this again after not using for a while. Difficult/not at all simple to use. Would like this to work for me but not helping. I am older and just want to tap something and it works. Very burdensome
