Text Delay - Schedule SMS Reviews

Later is seriously my most used app!! It’s ideal for my organized style!! I say all the time TextDelay makes me a better friend!! I don’t have to remember that my friend has an interview on Thursday and I want to wish her luck, I can write the text when I have time and set it to go on the right day!! I cannot believe people still function without TextDelay. Sure, every once in a while there are bugs, but in my experience the developer quickly fixes them and has it up and running again very seamlessly!!

This is a great way to “schedule “ your communications. I’d love to see this expand to lots of other ways to send/post stuff later. I always have great ideas in the middle of the night, but I don’t want people to think I was up in the middle night.

Got TextDelay and figured out I need premium to actually have it send on its own. This is horrible.

Sometimes the texts don’t go through at correct time, but overall this is very useful app!

Suggestion: messages that have already been sent are saved, and when you select a saved text then the “edit” button doesn’t allow you to resend at again at diff time.
Some of these texts are regular reminders to myself that would be nice to be able to select them to resend at another future date (right now if you select “send” option from a sent text it just lets you resend in the moment)

But very useful app overall

I was looking for an app to actual send texts for me at designated times. When you select (and pay for!) the option to “send automatically” All this does is give me an alert that it’s time to send the message I already typed. Then I have to click the alert and hit send. Not saving any time or actually doing it for me. Misleading and not helpful.

I downloaded TextDelay to schedule texts for my DS business. The numbers are for customers I don’t necessarily need to store in my contacts. I scheduled twenty texts and everything was fine with that part. But, when I got the reminder and hit Send, I had to re-enter every number because none of them are in my contacts. There is now no point to using TextDelay for my business.

Texting boss! Created a message. All is well. Husband recommended I schedule a text for his phone to make sure service works and no message ever came through to his phone!! As far as I’m concerned app can not be trusted for job. Immediately deleted and will just set my clock to paste message to boss. Ugh!

Looking to get $$ back. Had to upgrade to Later Plus to send scheduled texts... only one in four messages ever being sent and those from a number not my own!!! No way to get replies!!! Going to complain to Apple!

Later is a pretty slick looking app. The core app sends a user defined alert to send a prewritten text or email, or to post to social media. I can easily set a reminder or timer for that purpose without Later.
The utility I was looking for is a “Compose, Send and Forget” app for SMS. I presently use a simple app that allows me to compose and send a (text-only) SMS (no picts) for future delivery at date and time of my choosing. The SMS can only be sent to a single phone number at a time. You can't use an email address for a non cellular device unless the recipient uses a Pinger or similar phone number.
Unfortunately it's been a bit flakey lately and the developer has been non responsive. So I was looking for s replacement.
Later costs $4.99 a month for that service which is $4.99 more than I've been paying. TextDelay I'm using costs only $0.99 with no additional monthly fees. I'll keep hoping it works better and keep searching in the mean time.
The developer is a 24 fan so I'm sure they'll find a way to make TextDelay affordable and save us from disaster at the same time.

App does not work! I scheduled a text to be sent in the morning and come to find out once I got up it never sent.

So bummed. Really need a solution but I planned a bunch of texts in advance and it said they were sent. My recipient never received ANY of them. 😖

I paid premium and it did not unlock auto send. Developers doesn’t care. Never received refund. I want to love it but it does not work.

1. Signature should have “no signature” option
2. Tested paid app version and found
Not able to edit pending messages, only delete
Never received test message being sent to my own number

I was totally disappointed

No auto send works please report TextDelay to apple. Get refunded if you paid and help keep apps scammers like this off the store!

Monthly subscription .... really .... this should be a one time purchase like other apps so yeah

Does not work

No

The author must be living in some sort of a bubble. $5 per month just to send scheduled texts? AND they will not be sent from your phone number? AND you need to create an account? Add a couple of bucks per month and you get Netflix. iTunes Match costs just over half the price per year. Are you even remotely serious?
Two stars instead of one just for the good idea and for sheer chutzpah.

I see these whiny reviews and I think they were just confused when they downloaded TextDelay . It clearly states in the description that the free version does not auto send, but it does make it easy to write the text while you're thinking about it (say 1am because you can't sleep and forgot to tell a coworker about an important update) and the give you a reminder to send at a more reasonable hour without having to retype the text. Works seamlessly for me, and I use it regularly.

I keep using TextDelay more and more. It's a scheduler and only that. I mostly use the message and email functions to send alerts, reminders or notes either to me or my friends. It would be cool if i could tie a reminder to a specific location though. For example buy milk when I am close to a specific supermarket

Got TextDelay to help me stay organized as of finding out my mother has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer. She currently had the ‘Chemo Brain’. TextDelay seemed the most user friendly, however. I cannot get my signature to stay saved in TextDelay . The receivers still see pretty much sent by Later. For my Chemo Fogged mother, this can be confusing. Any insight to getting this fixed?

Thank you!

It worked as advertised for text. But actually only text will be sent later and the other ones are just push notification to remind me. It's close but not enough...

I use TextDelay daily! It helps me schedule texts so I don’t forget people’s birthdays, anniversary’s etc. I also sometimes schedule texts to myself when I don’t want to forget something!

I immediately bought the paid version because I want to schedule accountability texts for a friend and then go do my own thing.

Works great! I didn’t notice the “schedule” toggle on the page but once I set that, it’s good. Thanks!

I love the anonymity of the number because you can send someone a txt and they dont know where it came from and cant trace it back to you this way they cant judge the info “they may truly need to take heed to” based on the sender ... i gave it 4 stars because the email part does not send automatically for some reason

This is a great app and it is only going to get better! It is extremely helpful and easy to use. The design interface makes it easy to write and store your message and receive a reminder to send out your message.
