Reminder Texts allows you to create groups that you often send text messages to. It sends the texts one at a time eliminating those giant mass group texts . This does require you personally verifying each text which can be beneficial. 1. All the texts are sent from your phone and not a server 2. All contacts are stored locally. 3. You can add or modify each text a bit. There is no server storing your phone numbers so you can rest assured that your personal data is safe. You can use individuals in your contacts or create new users you want to message. The goal is to be similar to the antenna innards pictured in the background of our icon. This app broadcasts text messages to a small group without any of the individuals knowing about each other. They only know about the broadcaster. Your members will not be harassed by multiple replies from other users stating they got the original message. You can have as many groups as you want and you get update existing groups by simply swiping their title. You can also view reports of past texts you have sent out to your groups.
