~~WHY REACH?~~

Reach is the best group texting app to communicate with people on individual level. Unlike messy group chats, Reach lets you create separate groups of people from your contacts list and send them personalized SMS or text messages, iMessages, emails, or even WhatsApp texts, effortlessly. The recipient's get a personal message from you, and do not see the other recipient's in the list.

Messaging with Reach is always better because the app ensures none of the recipients see other recipients in the groups. Create groups based on personal contacts, professional contacts, and more and keep them organized with Reach. Improve workflow productivity by creating reusable recipient groups, and easily blast personalized texts and email messages.

Reach lets you receive responses from each recipient in an organized manner. Continue private messaging with each recipient once you receive replies on respective platforms. To include more people in your individual conversations, add Carbon Copy (CC) Automatic recipient in any group.

### 3/5 — Group Texts

*2026-08-16, version 3.97*

Not as user friendly as my old app! While I can make groups for the church I have to send the texts individually instead as a group! 96 texts bogs down my phone and I have to reset to get each group out. I would prefer that I can send as a group instead of individually.

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-07-26, version 3.96*

This app is a great resource to send group messages never fails!!!! You won’t be disappointed.

### 1/5 — iMessage block

*2026-07-11, version 3.96*

Due to using REACH, Apple blocked my ability to send iMessages for EVER. I’ve talked to 3 friends who also used it and all blocked as well. If you value your iMessage and FaceTime DO NOT USE. 0/10 recommend.

### 5/5 — Really Great

*2026-06-30, version 3.96*

Finally an app that actually has been made well and thoughtfully put together!

### 4/5 — Great, one issue

*2026-06-30, version 3.96*

Great would prefer if I didn’t have to individually OK each text and that was made automatic

### 5/5 — Bold Text Option??

*2026-06-26, version 3.96*

Suggestion

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-06-15, version 3.96*

I suddenly started getting error messages for every single marketing text I sent out, I’ve written reach and someone got back to me and said they would get back to me again with a solution within 24 hours, that was probably weeks ago now nobody’s gotten back to me.
Using Reach for marketing messages was a big part of my income. I am really, really disappointed.

### 5/5 — Send a Message to Many People

*2026-06-12, version 3.96*

This app does the job right. I send out devotional messages to nearly 100 people every morning. The message goes into the app, and with a single action, the devotional goes out to everyone as an individual message. Very efficient.

### 3/5 — Good option for individual texting.

*2026-06-09, version 3.96*

It’s easy and convenient to set up. Sometimes a little slow though. Sending out 90 messages can take up to 30 min. And I’d love if I could get more than one person set up to use my account.

### 5/5 — Streamlines!

*2026-06-04, version 3.96*

This app really streamlines getting the word out to lots of people without giving their phone numbers away to each other!
