## What is SMSClerk?

Need to remember to tell someone "happy birthday" this week?  Or remember that you need to ask your friend about something, but it's too late to text right now?

SMSClerk lets you pre-write texts to send later.  When the scheduled time arrives, you'll get a notification.  Press the notification, and everything will be filled out for you, you just need to hit send!

SMSClerk also allows daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly recurring messages.

iOS requires that all outbound text messages are actively sent by the user, so you will still need to hit the "Send" button to send the message.

## Key features

- Schedule text messages
- Pre-written message templates
- Send notifications for sending
- Recurring message options
- Supports daily, weekly, monthly, yearly
- iOS requires manual send confirmation

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-11-07*

Cannot enter a message

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2019-02-02*

I thought this would automatically send a text later for me once I scheduled the time. False.  All it does is send me a reminder asking if I want to still send it.  Pointless.

### 2/5 — Not what I needed.

*2018-05-13*

It’s my fault for not reading the description of product, but it only sends reminders to text someone.  If there are already products that automatically send delayed texts, I don’t really see the point of an app that simply reminds you. Either way, product works I guess.  It’s just useless to me.

### 1/5 — Fraud

*2017-07-06*

This App should not even be on the App Store, I'm actually confused as why Apple hasn't done so. If there was a negative Star system, I'd give it a negative 1. Do not waste your money on this scam.

### 4/5 — Nice app - but needs a few tweaks

*2016-10-08*

Very simple & effective. 
Suggestions:
*Adding multiple contacts is a slight pain - buggy because of ios10?
*Would like ability to "copy" contacts (ex. Group messaging) into future messages
*show preview of contacts when displaying all messages
I really think I like this app though :)
It does not automatically send which is cool. I personally prefer the reminder question "do u still want to send..." 
I use this for my business needs and business needs change often. Please keep this app alive.

### 5/5 — Me Gusta

*2016-05-01*

I think the interface is simple and clean. I love that it actually send the messages in the native SMS app and all you have to do is hit send. About as easy as it gets with the current iOS restrictions. Nicely done.

### 2/5 — Keep you're expectations low

*2016-04-10*

The other reviewer is dumb. Apple doesn’t allow for automatic sending, the best any app can do is remind you.

Good: it works-ish

Bad: If you accidentally set a past date, it won't error out and ask for an acceptable date, it just disappears. Where's the QA?

Bad: Sometimes I lose whole messages and I don’t know why. I have to type in everything again. 

Bad: It’s hard to schedule anything really far out, like you’re friend’s birthday or New Year's Day messages. You have to scroll over all the days. It’s April I want to schedule a reminder, I have to scroll 266 days down! And do it all over again if I want to send another message on New Years! I should be able to skip to December. 

Bad: You can’t paste a phone number into the send field, you have to have you’re friends number in your contact list. That group of friends you always message, yea you can’t copy paste that. You have to select each one individually.
That list of contacts you have at work, no, you can't type in their number you have to add that loser into your contact list.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2016-02-15*

I was led to believe this app automatically sent scheduled texts. It does not do this. It simply reminds you to send a text. I could have set my own reminder in my phone. Not worth it.

### 3/5 — Ok but

*2016-01-28*

Good app but would be VERY helpful if there were instructions on the app itself. I assumed the text would go automatically at the time I had set for it. It wasn't until 2 hours later I discovered it didn't. I finally found "instructions" in the app description in the App Store that said I would get a notification at the set time to send it. Won't use the app again since it doesn't meet my needs. Not worth $0.99 I paid for it.

### 5/5 — Finally the SMS assistant I have been waiting for!!!

*2015-10-02*

Great job!  I've tried every app available to remind me daily to text my daughter away at college.  Thank you so much!
