Same goes if I want to send a picture or media text it send as group no matter if it’s 3 ppl ### 4/5 — Group *2022-07-25, version 5.1* It would be nice if you could send more than 20 people to a group. ### 2/5 — Worked Great Before *2022-03-27, version 5.1* It needs an update. It non functional on the current iOS. ### 3/5 — Group text *2021-10-20, version 5.1* For me sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t ### 3/5 — Desperately Needs An Update *2021-10-09, version 5.1* PLEASE UPDATE!! This app can be amazing…but it crashes every time I try to send out text to 100 people, causing me to have to recreate the text and then go in and unselect the people who got it the first time. Please update, please. ### 3/5 — Decent App *2021-08-11, version 5.1* This app could be so good, but it has a lot of glitches. Used to work better. ### 3/5 — Recent issues *2021-06-26, version 5.1* The app is quirky but effective. However recently stopped working. When it comes up to send the message the send button is unresponsive. I’ve tried on both the compose and the option with the rocket icon. ### 2/5 — Did not work to send mass individual texts. *2021-03-11, version 5.1* I really wanted this to work, but after a few tries I stopped using it. I paid for the upgrade to send out individual texts. Sometimes the messages go out as a group text and some times as an individual. When it did go as individual every 2 lines went as a separate message, so people were getting many texts with 2 lines of text each. I did like how easy it was to put everyone in groups and select who in the group you wanted to send the text to. ### 2/5 — Free version is not adequate *2021-02-14, version 5.1* I found it frustrating that I can’t tell who got the message and that I have to shut off group messages in my settings. Then I don’t get my personal messages from my other personal groups. It’s not user friendly. ### 2/5 — Long list cumbersome *2020-12-25, version 5.1* Now when you have a long list that you’re sending to it overlaps where you try to type the text and doesn’t work most the time. ### 4/5 — Review *2020-12-25, version 5.1* Typically great for small groups without issues, a true mass group text is when I get concerned as it requires extra steps. Also the inability to add a picture is a little annoying but overall application has the concept I enjoy. ### 3/5 — Pls fix the app its buggy *2020-11-26, version 5.1* Pls fix app its buggy ### 2/5 — Not everyone in group receives my texts *2019-12-29, version 5.1* Out of 27 people in the group text, about 4 didn’t receive the texts I sent. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK *2022-02-01, version 5.1* Paid to upgrade for importing csv get the groups loaded and can’t send messages! This app is horrible! Oh you want a refund? Forget it!!! Just do NOT download ### 1/5 — Does not send schedule reminders *2021-04-20, version 5.1* Software seems to be flawed. Tried contacting developer and they never responded. Wasted money paying for the upgrade because it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work *2020-12-10, version 5.1* I can’t get this app to send anything and am not find any easy way to ask for support. ### 1/5 — Was a Great but no Longer Developed! *2020-12-09, version 5.1* This was a great app. I sent all of my church requests and messages using it. However, this app has not been maintained since 3 years ago and it does not work with the newest iOS update, 14.2. So sad 😌, but great while it lasted! ### 1/5 — Bugs and glitches *2020-12-09, version 5.1* There needs to be an update to fix issues. The cursor gets hung in the recipients list making it impossible so send text messages. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-11-27, version 5.1* This app was working. Then Apple updated iOS 14 and now the app will not work. When I try to send a message nothing happens. I tried deleting and re-installing it. Same result. One star because it did work at one time. ### 1/5 — Did Not Wok *2020-08-05, version 5.1* I downloaded app to send out messages to over 300 but found out the message created never was sent out. Not happy at all. ### 1/5 — No Good *2020-05-19, version 5.1* After purchasing I cannot get my money back. This app does not allow you to attach anything such and emails flyers pictures etc. I purchased this for Mass group text needing to attach a flyer with important information with the message DOES NOT WORK . ### 1/5 — Didn’t work! *2019-10-28, version 5.1* I paid for the app to have all features and followed the steps, I sent to 40 people and only received 3 responses. I have checked with random people on the list and so far can’t find anyone else who received it. ### 1/5 — Does NOT work! *2019-09-21, version 5.1* Could not import fro spreadsheet and sent a test text to a few ppl before using it for my team and the receive it as a group text. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2023-03-11* For the last 4 years I have used this app all of the time for sending messages to clients and co-workers! I love the personalization feature and the option to not send a group message to a specific individual! I also like that a written message can be sent with a picture! Great app! ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-06-01, version 5.1* This is my #1 mass texting app. I’ve used it exclusively for years. Great way to communicate with team members and get personalized responses. Developer has been great to respond if I’ve ever contacted them. ### 5/5 — Best App! CSV import a MUST! *2021-05-01, version 5.1* I greatly needed a mass text app that I could import a CSV document from Microsoft Excel. Found very few options until this app. Must download the paid version, but very cheap and worth it. Only glitches: often, the names or numbers stay in blue, but all you have to do is erase one name and it usually turns green. Also, when you try to type a message, nothing shows up.....you just need to press base bar or enter, then backspace for the message area to open up to allow you to type or paste a message. ### 5/5 — Works great! *2020-11-26, version 5.1* Just what I needed! ### 5/5 — Great App, Easy To Use, Very Functional! *2020-09-29, version 5.1* I love this app, I like that I can have as many groups as I want and that I can make each person within the group have personalized messages. It’s very easy to use and a very functional tool to have I highly recommend this app to everyone!😁👍 ### 5/5 — Exactly what i need *2020-02-16, version 5.1* I never do reviews, app was worthy the upgrade. I am a manager and a few groups that I oversee. FOH, BOH, servers. Now I group them and with an added shortcut it takes me 2 clicks to send a message. thanks ### 5/5 — Complicated but good ❤️ *2019-11-11, version 5.1* If having problems, just ask them! No monthly subscription ### 5/5 — Allows importing of phone contact groups *2019-08-13, version 5.1* I had to try several group-texting apps (to replace “Group Text” which seems to be no longer supported). This was the only reasonably-priced app which supported repeatedly importing contact groups from iOS/macOS that I could find. And the feature of only texting “mobile” numbers is nice for contacts where I have multiple numbers and I only want to text one of the numbers. I’ve been using regularly now, 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Team texts *2019-01-19, version 5.1* Super easy to use for team texts. Love it. ### 5/5 — I am thrilled *2018-12-28, version 5.1* So I sent a mass text today to 12 people and it was so nice. Typed the msg one time, sent to all, and their msgs back to me came to ONLY ME. No phones blown up. No comments about the evils of group messaging. Yayyyy... Lol! I had to learn the ropes how to do it and studied the FAQ section in depth. So worth it!! I love this app for iPhone! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
