Waboom programma i messaggi che devi mandare su WhatsApp e li fa partire all'ora giusta, anche quando l'app e' chiusa e il telefono e' in tasca. SCRIVI ADESSO, SCEGLI TU QUANDO • Scegli il destinatario dalle chat recenti, anche di gruppo, oppure dalla rubrica dell'iPhone • Scrivi il messaggio e allega una foto, un video, un documento o un file audio • Fissa data e ora al minuto, nel fuso che vedi scritto sotto la data • Segui l'esito in Programmati: in programma, inviato, da verificare Una programmazione confermata continua sul server: non serve tenere l'app aperta, ne' il telefono acceso. I TESTI CHE RIPETI, GIA' PRONTI Salva i messaggi ricorrenti come template, con le variabili da compilare al momento — nome, giorno, ora — e riusali in due tocchi. I template restano sull'organizzazione, quindi valgono per tutte le tue istanze. PIU' ACCOUNT, UNA SOLA APP Collega piu' istanze Waboom e passa dall'una all'altra dal selettore in alto. Il nome dell'istanza attiva resta sempre in vista, cosi' sai da quale account stai programmando prima di premere invio. COME FUNZIONA Waboom per iPhone e' il client della tua istanza del gateway Waboom. L'istanza si collega al tuo account WhatsApp come dispositivo aggiuntivo, inquadrando un codice QR o digitando un codice, la stessa procedura che usi per WhatsApp Web. Serve quindi un'istanza Waboom attiva: puoi usare il servizio ospitato su waboom.it oppure ospitarla tu. Senza istanza collegata l'app non ha niente da programmare. PRIVACY La rubrica resta sul tuo iPhone. Al server arrivano soltanto il nome e il numero del destinatario che hai scelto, il testo del messaggio, gli allegati che alleghi e i dati della programmazione. I token delle istanze e la sessione dell'account sono custoditi nel Portachiavi. I file allegati alle programmazioni attive vengono conservati finche' servono; dopo la conclusione restano sette giorni, poi vengono cancellati. Waboom e' un prodotto indipendente. Non e' affiliato, sponsorizzato o approvato da WhatsApp LLC o da Meta Platforms, Inc. WhatsApp e' un marchio registrato dei rispettivi titolari.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Waboom at none against Scheduled's 10. Scheduled's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
