### 5/5 — This app is amazing

*2026-10-02*

I used this app my family members who has androids and I can’t do the send later with apple and it works the exact same way

### 5/5 — Very Simple

*2026-06-13*

For once, an app I don’t have to pay for to get the full version. Even if there’s a pay to get the full version of this later, it probably wouldn’t be much and would be worth the spend!

### 5/5 — Extremely helpful! Especially when most of your people are not iPhone fans.

*2026-06-09*

I was a little bit. Doubtful, there are not a lot of reviews, which is a big part of why I am writing this. Even without reviews, I could see as a dev/software engineer  myself, that this was well built. Not to mention the extras like birthday texts? What an amazing idea! And all for free, no ad swarming, too? Man, I don’t know who exactly is behind this, but they deserve all of the props in the world for solving just about, if not EVERY problem and issue I had! 

Seriously, rock on, dude/dev. You are awesome and I mean every word. Keep it up!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-02-14*

Excellent
