Schedule SMS text message reminders for medication, prescription, appointments, deadlines, or important moments - for you or loved ones. Recipients don't need internet, a smartphone, or even the app. Set Text Go is a simple, reliable way to schedule SMS reminders for everything important in your life. Available in U.S. & Canada Only KEY FEATURES: - Schedule one-time or recurring SMS reminders. - Speak instead of type - dictate your reminder message with your voice. - Calendar view - see every upcoming reminder at a glance. - Flexible scheduling - hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom intervals. - Multiple phone numbers per account - remind yourself on personal phones, work phones, or send reminders to family and friends. - Duplicate any reminder in one tap to reuse it. - Every U.S. and Canadian timezone built in, with international options for travel. - Pay as you go or subscribe for monthly top-ups. Either way, credits roll over and never expire! - U.S. based telecommunications and technology infrastructure. PERFECT FOR: - Medication/prescription reminders - Never miss a dose. - Appointment reminders - Doctor visits, meetings, events. - Bill payment reminders - Rent, utilities. - Daily routines - Exercise, habit reminders, vitamins, pet care. - Special occasions - Birthdays, anniversaries (yearly reminders send themselves). - Business reminders - Follow-ups, deadlines, tasks. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Create your reminder - type it or dictate it. 2. Set date, time, and recurrence. 3. Recipient gets a real SMS text at the scheduled time. 4. That's it! Simple and reliable. Why Set Text Go isn't free: Every reminder is a real text message delivered through phone carriers. We pay carrier fees and a cost for every message sent, plus the ongoing expenses of the US-based infrastructure that runs the app around the clock. That is why reminders use credits: buy a credit pack whenever you need one, or choose an optional monthly plan that adds credits automatically. Either way, your credits never expire. Monthly plans renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel anytime in your Apple Account subscription settings.

Reminder Text's advantage is ratings volume (135 vs 6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
