### 5/5 — Awesome program

*2026-08-20, version 3.28.0*

Great and easy to use!

### 3/5 — Just Ok

*2026-08-14, version 3.28.0*

This is still a clumsy app to use.

### 5/5 — geo k

*2026-08-12, version 3.28.0*

Love it!!

### 1/5 — Template

*2026-08-09, version 3.28.0*

Won’t let me save message as templates. I keep getting an error message

### 4/5 — Doing a really good job

*2026-08-08, version 3.28.0*

I have been very happy with this app since I started using several months ago. I use it everyday to send out messages to 49 different people.  I have had very little issues happen. I am very satisfied with it. Easy to navigate and I love the fact that you can add individual names to each text. Seems to the recipient that you wrote the text specifically to them.

### 1/5 — Borderline worthless

*2026-08-04, version 3.28.0*

Hardly works, when I hit try again I have to retype the whole message, user experience has gotten significantly worse over the last 2 months. It’s like starting an old car, I have to hit send a few times before it actually works and sends

### 5/5 — So useful

*2026-07-29, version 3.28.0*

Easy to use

### 2/5 — Clunky to use

*2026-07-28, version 3.28.0*

Basic function works well. IF you want to edit a list you’ve created, it’s not possible (at least Claude, Chat and I were not able to figure it out). I had to create a new list and delete the old one. Editing existing contacts is impossible  (or hard enough an engineer can’t figure it out).

### 2/5 — Not so good

*2026-07-25, version 3.28.0*

You can do a couple things well, but it is not a very well-thought-out app. Difficult to use if you want to do anything other than the most basic

### 5/5 — Time Saver!

*2026-07-23, version 3.28.0*

Highly encourage anyone to get the standard package!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.28.0 — 2026-07-11

+ Every text goes out one at a time, from your own phone number, so it lands like a normal text from you — not a group blast, not a strange 5-digit number, not an email pretending to be a text. Replies come back to you privately, like any other conversation. Most mass-texting services simply cannot do this, because they don't send from your phone — we do.

+ You now have room to write. Pull the message box up and it fills the whole screen, like writing a letter instead of squinting at three lines. Slide it back down to check what people said.

+ Putting each person's first name in your message is now one tap. The buttons sit right above your keyboard: tap "first name," and every single person gets a message with their own name in it — "Hi Sarah," "Hi Marcus," "Hi Emily" — automatically. Sending 50 personal-feeling texts takes the same effort as sending one.

+ Adding people no longer interrupts your writing. Type a name or number right where it says "To" — even someone brand new — and they're added and saved as a contact while you keep writing. Picked a group first? Everyone you add joins it — the app asks just once, and the group's name stays right there with each new person beside it.

+ Fix a contact the moment you notice the mistake. Wrong spelling? Old number? Tap the pencil on their card and correct it right there — and it fixes it in your phone's contact book too.

+ Group lists take care of themselves. Swipe to remove someone, type a name to add someone, put one person into several groups at once. Added the wrong people? Shake your phone and choose who stays.

+ Writing to just one person is now instant. Their actual name appears as you type, and the message sends immediately — no extra confirmation screen for a single text.

+ Wrote something good? Keep it. Save any message as a template and the names automatically become fill-in-the-blanks, ready for the next group.

+ You cannot lose a message anymore. Leave the screen any time — your writing saves itself as a draft, and a small note tells you exactly where to find it.

### 3.27.0 — 2026-06-06

+ Fixed Sending setup on the latest iOS updates: installation no longer loops and the test step completes correctly.
+ Clearer setup guidance.
+ Added conveniences.
+ Performance and stability improvements.

### 3.25.1 — 2026-03-25

+ Improved send reliability to prevent rare duplicate-send failures and make message delivery more consistent.

### 3.25.0 — 2026-03-04

+ Fixed bug where WhatsApp messages would get cut off when using certain characters like & in your text.
+ Improved app startup speed.
+ Fixed an issue where tooltips would flicker or behave unexpectedly.

### 3.24.0 — 2026-02-24

+ Improve contact syncing performance
+ Improve app stability
