Group Text: Mass Text Message Reviews

by I Do Not Like Surveys

Things I am having problems with Sometimes GroupText freezes up and I have to start all over loosing everything I just typed. Then there is no method to the madness of the sending process For example sent in alphabet order or what? The text is sent in no certain order so it’s hard to tell where you left off when it freezes up I’m trying to find a more user friendly app but would love to continue using GroupText if these things get fixed. Also would love for my texts to be saved but if it can I don’t know how to do this. As well as using an email to send as well Not happy with GroupText and of no response from your company PLEASE RESPOND.

I’m a teacher and need to teach parents for my classes and something like this would be awesome. But this won’t work because I don’t want to add them to my contacts. I’d like to just create a group with the phone numbers and then be able to send the same text to all of them. Or even be able to text them individually but with a very similar message where I change a few things to personalize it. Google Voice shuts me down and I can’t send group messages. This could be cool and helpful. Sad I paid $9.00 a month and can’t use it. 😢

This morning I needed to send a group text using GroupText that I paid plenty for but it would not work. Turned off I message, made sure I had no texts in my previous texts. Shut down and rebooted my phone. It would not change to green for text and I could not send at all. if this continues, I would love to be able to get my money back.
Update. I deleted the group and rebuilt. Then it worked. I don’t think this should be. I wonder if I will have to regularly do this.

I really like this ap. Makes it easy to send group. Would like to see an “are you sure” button before you actually add ALL your contacts to a group- which is an easy mistake on this ap. Reply to developer. Yes but that’s what I’m saying. Had about 30 in a group. Accidentally hit the add all button trying to add one person. Couldn’t find an undo button. Had to remove them all then go back and add them to a new group. An are you sure button would have saved me a lot of time and aggravation. Thanks!

From the latest iPhone update to their 14.2, GroupText is no longer allowing me to send group messages. Yes I have iMessage off and MMS as well. It’s been working great for almost all of 2020 to our church but stopped yesterday after my last update installed. I’m also using latest App version 4.0.1.9. For some unknown reason it will not allow me to hit the send button, or if I select the contacts then I can no longer return to text message area. Only the cancel button works.

When sending a personalized text, you have to click send for each one. I really wish I could hit send once and have it send individual texts to all the group members. Also, I don’t know when I got to the end of the list. So some people got duplicates accidentally.

You have to manually delete your last message before typing a new one.

Membership is the groups is easy to manage. I like that I could buy GroupText once and not go for a subscription.

U need to have a decent understanding in settings if using iPhone with GroupText. Someone did email me how to navigate GroupText after I had posted a 1 star review because I was rather frustrated and getting nowhere on my own. I’m glad they reached out with help because I do need the ability to mass txt customers about our slow reopening after the “shutdown”

I have researched all the mass text services and apps out there. This is the simplest one and runs pretty much flawlessly in the background. I coordinate a lot of group things and this is really helpful. The only improvement I can see this needing is the ability for it to synchronize with your iCloud contact groups. I am constantly adding people to my groups and I have to completely uninstall, then reinstall GroupText in order for it to sync with my latest contacts added to my iCloud group. Hopefully they fix this in the future.🙇🏼

My daughter was recently diagnosed with leukemia and we needed a way to text family and friends for updates. Exactly what we needed. I have multiple groups, family, school, friends, and can send updates to appropriate groups. Each message can be private if set up properly and nobody sees everyone else’s information, responses only come to me. It is a valuable tool because some people don’t have “SNAP” and some people don’t get everything in email because of filters.
Update: it’s been a week now of twice daily usage. Works as expected. Groups of up to 60 people, however, If you stick to all text it works great, but...sending emojis 😀 may cause text to not be sent individually, also read carefully and follow guides to watch the size of the group and pictures, but still working great 👍👍

As a small business owner with over 50 clients, I need a dependable app that I can send messages with, where customers’ contact info and replies aren’t shared with each other. GroupText allows me to do exactly that! There were a few kinks I had tk figure out in the beginning, but the customer service I received was very helpful and easy to get ahold of, which made all the difference. I tried a few other similar apps before this one that either didn’t work, or had poor customer support. GroupText makes my job easier and it’s nice to know I can get assistance if I need it as a paying customer! I highly recommend GroupText.

GroupText is absolutely amazing!!!! I’ve consistently been able to send group texts to 100+ people everyday of the work week for over 2 years without a failed attempt. However I do have one question, in the event that I have to exchange phones, or break or lose my current phone, is there anyway to backup my Group Texts lists? Do you or could you offer a cloud backup service? Even if it’s for a fee. My only reason for asking is to prevent me from having to compile a list separate and apart from this awesome Group Texts app. Peace and blessings.

Many cell providers in the United States limit texts to a maximum of 20 contacts. GroupText will allow anyone to easily add, delete, save, and send along with pictures to multiple 20 person groupings. Great for communicating with family, friends and business associates without having to scroll through your contacts each time. I’ve been using GroupText multiple times a week to stay in touch with over 160 friends in minutes. Developer responds back very quickly… Works great! and so easy to use… Hope this helps…

In the beginning I would have given it 5 stars. But now I can barely give 1 star. After a couple months, it freezes up more than it works. It so frustrating to type out a whole long text for it not to send. I’m done. I had even signed up for a year script because it worked so good. That money is down the drain. Looking for another app.

by TRROBO

I have tried other group text apps and this one is the best and costs less than others I’ve tried. I am trying to text over 300 people at a time and GroupText handles it well. I had an issue with GroupText today and left customer support a message. I received an email just a few minutes later with some suggestions. They worked! And I got my message out to over 300 people with the click of one button.

Nice to see there is still a group text messaging app out there. This was the only one I could find that would allow me to create groups for text messaging. I can name them and then add any from my contacts. It does limit the number you can have to 15 or so. I have just created 2 groups when the groups exceeded this. You can unselect numbers if you need to send a text without a particular person on it. Just the features that are needed and very simple.
Great App if your looking for a simple free SMS group messaging App.

I have used Text Groups for several years and have the paid version so that I can have multiple groups of varying sizes. GroupText is fairly intuitive and easy to use. I did have to reach out to customer service for assistance and they were extremely prompt with a response. I would suggest adding a FAQ for the Preferences settings to make these a little more clear. Great tool!

by Opie 372

I use this so I can send the same message to a large group of people, and I can see their responses, but they don’t see each others’. This way I’m the only one getting multiple replies. We all know how much we hate group texts because EVERYONE gets multiple responses AND they start conversations that half of the group could care less about.

As a store manager, I despise having to say the same thing many times to many staff members. Group Text gives me the ability to set up groups and send out texts at once to those who need the information. While the free app limits the number of people that can be sent to at one time, the Pro version is inexpensive enough to not place a burden on you. The convenience of GroupText makes the small price very affordable. The support staff is very attentive to help requests and gives prompt, courteous assistance. I highly recommend GroupText.

by MorriseyJD

I’ve tried several group text apps and this one has been the best. Very user friendly. I have several groups that I have to keep track of and GroupText makes it simple. I had one issue that I dealt with for about a month with splitting groups but it was finally fixed with an update. I considered dropping my rating down to 4 Stars but I’m keeping my rating at 5 Stars because it’s simply the best I’ve seen.

Spent ages today looking for a way to quickly and cheaply text all 1500 of my contacts, apparently that’s a really big ask because it’s not easy to do, thankfully I found GroupText after trying a few others first that were useless. It was a little slow to load up the text I wanted to send but I waited and it worked perfectly after a minute or two. Very happy to have this now!

by Addy1207

GroupText is really great, I handle coordinating alumni events for my job so I need to reach out to over 100 people every month. GroupText is perfect for what I need. I can send a single message to over 100 individual contacts in less than 5 minutes and it’s so easy to navigate. Also doesn’t show as a group text, which is more personal and I can edit the text for each contact - for example putting their name in the message to make it individual to them. It’s $40 a year but well worth it. 💯/💯

I have tried forever to get my iPhone to create editable list of people groups. It is just plain stupid to have a group of 75 people and when someone wants out have to do the whole list over -without them. I thought certainly something as sophisticated as an iPhone would have such an important tool. But oh no -it does not. Who would believe such a thing? I spent several years trying accomplish the editable group task without success. Enter “Text Groups”! How great to to have list for my various groups that I can send messages to and edit! This is fantastic!

by SefinaHawke

A college friend of mine suggested this up to me after she really enjoyed using it with her friends. One of the things I really like is the fact that I can keep in contact with all of my friends and that I can create different groups which allows me to keep my messages organized. It was very easy to use GroupText and I like to get those no long to tutorial process that I had to learn. GroupText was well organized and it was very easy to navigate without problems. Overall I'm very happy and I plan to continue to use GroupText in the future.

I run a non-profit where I have to be in communication with my volunteers and don’t necessarily want to text them in a group chat. GroupText allows me to send messages individually (that can be personalized too!) all at once which saves SO much time. Customer service was super receptive and had a quick turn around in responding to my questions. GroupText is a great tool!

by HorizonAppreciator

I like GroupText- simple & easy to use. My only issue to date is if there is a group of 13 or less I can send a text. 14+ it says to hit the enter button & the text box will appear. Unless I’m doing something mindlessly wrong, it doesn’t appear. So, I have to make two groups to send the same info which defeats the purpose of paying for GroupText . Please let me know if there is assistance for this.

As an entrepreneur, I am always trying to stay in contact with my clients on a genuine level in a time saving way. This does exactly that! It allows me to have one on one connections with 100’s of people in seconds! I absolutely love GroupText! Also- I have had GroupText for over a year now and I’m so excited that we can attach and image now for automatic messages! Thank you for adding this feature. Do you have an affiliate link program? I love GroupText so much I have added it to my events course and have linked it as a preferred resource. I would love to track & monetize the referral conversions made with your app. Is there any opportunity to get set up with an affiliate link?

by Ktommul

I’ve had GroupText now for a little over a month and so far, it’s great. It has all of the features I was looking for. I’m able to send group text messages but they go out individually. It also helps me keep track of all of the people I usually send messages to. Again, excellent app! You can try the one month before committing.... I’m ready to commit to a lifetime subscription!

by GrandDivaFee

This has made communicating with large groups all at once without retyping the info over and over especially great when you may not want to disclose each person’s phone number and information to the others in the group chat. I’ve only used it a few times but definitely like GroupText!!!

by Gordon.719

I think GroupText is really cool for messaging. My friends and I have been good friends since we were in secondary chool. And we always hang in touch. Of course, we used to create a lot of groupchat with some apps and this one is incuded in those. In general, it is really good I have to say that. Easy to use, fast to send messages and icons, stickers are really cute. We actually like using it. If you need an app for groupchat, you can consider it, I highly recommend it to you.
