## What is Wild Fruit Messenger?

Managing club events just got easier. Wild Fruit Messenger is the ultimate companion app for Wild Apricot administrators, allowing you to send group SMS announcements, event reminders, and last-minute updates directly from your iPhone—without paying for expensive third-party messaging subscriptions.

Instead of navigating complex web dashboards or paying per-message API fees, the app syncs directly with your Wild Apricot database. Simply select an event or member list, write your message once, and let the app securely hand off the recipients to your native Apple Messages app.

Key Features:

    Direct Integration: Log in securely to instantly sync your active Wild Apricot events and member lists.

    Zero Messaging Fees: Utilizes your cellular plan's native SMS/MMS, completely bypassing external API costs.

    Smart Batching: Automatically chunks large attendee lists into manageable groups to ensure reliable delivery.

    Write Once, Send to All: Type your announcement a single time and easily dispatch it to your queued batches.

    Privacy First: Keeps your club's data local to your device and your communications securely within your trusted native texting app.

(Note: Standard cellular carrier text messaging rates apply depending on your mobile plan).
