Out of date, and limited timezone. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2014-06-20* I cannot even use this app because I cannot register. Seems like it could be very useful but if it doesn't work what's the point? ### 1/5 — It just slowly crashes each time, for this I'm grateful! *2013-08-03* Because i can see it's no "text Later", which is the app that I had that worked perfectly through 3 iPhones and 1 iPad, when I got the second iPad I couldn't find that app "text Later", which I will assume is the one we're all praising, because it worked so flawlessly. Somebody is asleep at the switch, hello, hello, wake uP! You're letting buggie apps in the house, of Apple! Oye f'kakta! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2013-05-22* This app does not work. Don't waste your time with it. ### 4/5 — Great Idea!!! *2012-08-19* It's a great idea. It work really well!! ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2012-04-30* App does not work and customer support does not respond to any attempts at contacting them. ### 1/5 — Try SMS auto *2012-02-14* horrible app, doesn't work in any of the feature areas. Timezone & date incorrect. I agree that this is en a-mail harvester pretending to be an app. Try using Auto SMS. It's not free, but does what it seems we're all looking for - and not just sending us a reminder to text someone. ### 1/5 — This is the worst freaking app ever *2011-11-19* This is the worst freaking app ever ### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all! *2011-05-21* Doesn't work!!!!! ### 1/5 — Stupid App *2011-04-20* Doesn't know what timezones are ## Frequently asked questions about Textalert Free ### Does Textalert Free have ads?
