### 3/5 — Textwiz good could be better

*2015-01-05, version 3.7.1*

If a few things could be corrected I would rank it a 5. 
There needs to be a smoother transition of selecting groups and sending the text. Often groups from previous texts are still showing up the the new text. 
It has also been crashing a lot lately and not saving the new message information.

### 3/5 — Not compatible with iOS 8

*2014-09-20, version 3.7*

Please update to work with iOS 8. It cancels every other person in a list.

### 4/5 — Great app, works as described!

*2012-11-24, version 3.2.0*

Love this app! It let me send out 110 Thanksgiving Day text messages in under 10 minutes!

This app isn't perfect (hence the four stars) but the developer was immediately responsive to my feedback and I have a feeling I will update it to five stars very soon!

### 2/5 — Great idea, doesn't execute

*2012-04-09, version 2.4*

This app is a great idea. I tried to use it to tell all my friends about a performance I have coming up, but it just didn't send the messages. What's a person to do?

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2012-04-09, version 2.4*

The only app I found that sends "individualized" texts.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Waste of time and money

*2020-04-05, version 4.1*

Not intuitive — period.

### 1/5 — Erase all my contacts

*2014-02-17, version 3.6*

This app deleted the name on my contacts adress book. It make my waste 4 hours fixing my contacts.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2013-12-11, version 3.6*

Update rendered my contacts list and groups completely empty. Looks nice though. Please fix. This app makes my life much easier when it works

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2013-03-13*

Just downloaded this app - have gone through my contacts twice to create groups for sending text messages, however just after selecting everyone to be in the group, the app has closed and I have lost all the information I submitted. Completely useless if it can't even do what it is meant to do! Save your money!

### 1/5 — No result.  Waist of money

*2012-08-26, version 2.4*

I can not see my contacts in alphabetical order. They are all mixed. Also can not create a group either. Restarted the phone and still the same. Waisted a $.  iPhone 4s

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2011-06-20, version 2.0*

Crashes every time I try to add contacts

Addendum: because I think this app is a good idea, I deleted it and re-downloaded. Still doesn't work.

### 1/5 — Horrible program

*2011-01-02, version 1.2*

Doesn't allow you to save contacts, doesn't save templates

### 2/5 — Frustrated

*2016-12-18, version 4.0.1*

This is my second time downloading this app and now I remember why I stopped using it.  It forces closes in the middle of sending out texts (first problem), and when I reopen the app it starts from the beginning instead of where we left off (second problem). Is there a fix for this issue???

### 2/5 — FIX BUGS !!!

*2014-09-25, version 3.7*

This is frustrating. I have been using this app for ever a year faithfully with no issues. Now all of a sudden; I can't send messages at all. And when they do. They skip over each other and says "message cancelled, send remaining option" when I cancelled no message to begin with. Please fix this. This is not compatible with IOS8 !!!!!!!!!

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2012-10-22, version 3.0.2*

The 4 stars is totally misleading. The app is very buggy and crashes often. Doesn't let me add contacts to groups and tells me error unknown after I have selected all my contacts. For a free app I might understand but a paid app... Totally unacceptable. I truly hate being so harsh but I feel really misled.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-01-18*

I wanted to be able to BCC groups, but Apple has some proprietary restrictions that doesn’t allow this basic function. Textwiz is great for me. I have 4 groups that I message regularly. The groups are easy to manage and the messages look great.

### 5/5 — Not bad, but doesn't do what I really need it to do

*2016-05-25, version 3.7.2*

Sure, you can create a group and send personalized text messages. But the messages are sent 1 at a time. So the app loads the message and you hit send. If you've got a group of 50 then you wait and hit send 50 times. 

There is a free app that does the same thing, but the free app has ads. So not bad, but not ideal. Probably not worth the money.

### 5/5 — Mr

*2015-11-27*

This is the only TXT app that can send to a group of contacts separately that I could find.

This is important because people in the group will not be able to see who else is on the group and if they reply to you the TXT does not reply to the whole group.

Well done.

### 5/5 — A "Must-Have" for Youth Pastors!

*2014-08-21, version 3.7*

Love this app! Yes, there are a few quirks when you have a lot of contacts. But overall, it is a great app! I use it multiple times a week for many different groups.

### 5/5 — Aaaammmzzzingg

*2014-05-24, version 3.6.1*

I love that everyone can feel like a group text is a personal text from me!! And unlike other texting apps I an flip my phone horizontally which is how I normally text! I love it and all the other apps mikecheck development has made.

### 5/5 — most effective personalization app

*2012-11-24, version 3.2.0*

This app was exactly what i was looking for, and it has been the best solution to a "mail merge" type app for texting groups in a personal way! definitely worth the download!!!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-03-16, version 2.4*

This works perfectly for businesses or ministry!

### 5/5 — This is app is SICK

*2010-12-22, version 1.2*

This app is amazing because it personalized texts. You no longer have to send generic texts to multiple people and be "that friend". Also the fact that the orientation changes makes typing faster and easier.

### 5/5 — Well done and easy to use

*2010-12-21, version 1.2*

Awesome app- no more group ails that look impersonal now people will believe I care

### 5/5 — Awesome and Intuitive

*2010-12-20, version 1.2*

Love sending those MHTs (Mass Holiday Texts)?!?! This is the App for you:)
Or even if you just frequently send a couple of your friends the same messages... Here you go!
