## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Unable to select contact

*2016-05-01, version 1.0*

I can't choose the contact I'd like. The contact has iPhone number and email address as stated in the help docs.

### 2/5 — Cutesy app with very limited functionality...

*2016-05-02, version 1.0*

The idea is decent but setting up and using it is not very good. Messages are truncated if you use more than 10 or so characters and there's no way to see the whole message before you send it. Adding messages is a mess because of errors with the interface. And the preconfigured messages are useless with heavy use of emojis. Also, lose the "tip jar". Either charge for your app or make it free but don't beg for money every time the app is used.

### 4/5 — Does what it does well

*2019-07-26, version 1.1*

Nice little app. I did find that if I updated a contact, the app didn’t pick up the change until I killed it and restarted it. That made it a little harder to set up my "summon a pirate” contacts for the Jolly Roger telephone co. But now that I’ve worked through that and see how the app works in day to day use, I like it.

### 4/5 — Really an ingenious little app/extension.

*2017-04-22, version 1.1*

I send stuff to hey hubby several times a day via text message. This app make that a seamless 2 tap process. It occasionally crashes, and is a little buggy. But those small inconveniences are totally worth it for the time it's saved me over the last year of consistent use. Looking forward to more from this developer.

**Developer response:** I'm really glad you love the app! Please feel free to get in touch and let me know about the bugs you've experienced… I would very much like to squish them for you 👞🐜🐜

### 4/5 — Performs as promised

*2016-05-26, version 1.0*

It's not life-changing or anything like that, but it works well and performs the function that it's designed to perform. I like that it's easy to send prefabricated messages to my wife.

### 4/5 — Needs a widget

*2016-05-02, version 1.0*

Useful single purpose app. Would be even quicker as a widget!

### 4/5 — Missing One Feature

*2016-05-01, version 1.0*

This app is awesome. Great idea. What would be even better though is being able to do this with multiple "favorite" contacts!

### 4/5 — Good app for texts!

*2016-04-30, version 1.0*

Single contact with limited options, simple, fast, efficient.

### 5/5 — Just what I need

*2018-05-19, version 1.1*

Other is just what I need. Tap it, pick a message, and send it off to messages.

### 5/5 — Great app!  Awesome extension!

*2018-03-11, version 1.1*

Use it all the time to send messages to wife. Makes it real simple to share from any app. Wonder if it’s possible to set the app icon to the contact photo?

### 5/5 — Essential

*2017-07-20, version 1.1*

Crazy how an app goes from a good idea to an essential part of your everyday workflow. I use the share extension all the time now to message stuff to my wife. Absolutely love this! And free!

Updated: the app now inserts a space before URL's when I use the share extension. Anyway to get that fixed?  Keeping a five star review because I still use this all the time!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2017-04-19, version 1.1*

I use it almost daily to quickly tell my "other" that I'm on my way home. 3D Touch the app icon, tap the message, and hit send. Really useful!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the glowing review! I don't know if you've tried it out yet, but the "Message" shortcut in the new 3D touch widget is my go-to way of pulling up the compose screen so I can send iMessage stickers to my wife. It's great 😃🎉

### 5/5 — Send a Quick Text with 2 Taps!

*2017-04-18, version 1.1*

Awesome app for sending commonly used items to your special friend. I use it to let my wife know when I've arrived to work safely and when I'm headed home. Great way to send a short notification!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoy the app, and I hope it continues to serve you well.

### 5/5 — Does just what it says....

*2017-01-09, version 1.0*

I use this app for those times when I've got my hands full, but need to send a text or call someone. One click on the app, one click on the shortcut and you're ready to go.

### 5/5 — Fun app

*2016-05-19, version 1.0*

Like supporting small Australian developers who like jelly.

### 5/5 — It just works. I love it.

*2016-05-11, version 1.0*

Give it a try. You'll
Love it.

### 5/5 — Simple, works

*2016-05-09, version 1.0*

It does exactly what it is supposed to do. Makes it really easy to communicate simple messages, especially with 3D Touch. Simple and beautiful interface that works.

### 5/5 — Faster

*2016-05-04, version 1.0*

Great use of 3D touch. Simple, purple interface. Thanks for a convenient app!
