Contact Hit Em Up Support

by Hollie2010

WORST APP EVER!! COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE SMS FUNCTION ON MY PHONE!!! I wanted to send something to all 1600 people in my iPhone so I got this app. First, they failed to mention you have to hit send for every single contact so it took me hours to do so despite the app. Second, it doesn't show up on your home page so it was INCREDIBLY difficult to delete. Third, it disabled my iMessage, which says it's on but it's not, I get a failed to send message on every text before it sends, IF it sends. Some don't. Videos won't send. I'm getting calls from people who are asking why I haven't responded to texts I never received, while sending me screenshots of the sent texts, which forces me to use WhatsApp for the people I KNOW I'm not receiving texts from. Others....I'll never know about, which is going to seriously affect my business. I'm going to Apple tomorrow to see if they can untangle this mess. If not, I'll have to use a May backup and lose 20 GB of data added between May and Sept. Yes, 20 GB. I run a business from my phone. WORST APP EVER. I have never, EVER had anything screw up my phone as badly as this app. I would have been better off if the developers had stolen my phone. At least then, $1200 would have fixed the problem without me losing 5 months of data. I'm Furious.

The user interface is relatively easy to use and kept simple. I gave it 1 star because it works only half of the time I need to use it and it’s very expensive considering it’s simple task and the fact that it often does not wore. It constantly requires that I verify my phone number and often responds that it’s “offline” and can not verify even though my internet connection is fine and all other apps are working. I’ve tried reconnecting to my network, reinstalling, updating to a new version, and even tried a different phone, but it changed nothing. I suppose most people who are ready to spend money on this app probably need it for a specific use, not just chatting, and so the app working only 50% of the time will simply force you to find another app. I spent around $70 on this app and I consider it to be a waste for the reasons above. I don’t recommend purchasing this app.

I purchased a one-month subscription to communicate with a non-profit group's biennial conference. It worked, but much was lacking for what I wanted it to do--and that is communicate with important updates and changes. 1) I wanted to import >400 names; 2) But I didn't really want all those names in my private contact list (they are); 3) the restriction that permits sending only 50 texts at a time meant I had to make 9 groups, but the app doesn't identify what has been sent so it's counting on fingers; 4) Each of the groups requires multiple click-throughs to actually send a text. Need to be aware of that!; 5) the interface is clunky; and 6) the request to rate the ap is intrusive....again...and again. (I'll rate it when I know what it can--and cannot--do.)
I think there is promise with this app. It worked. It was just difficult to manage and I felt like I was working with 10-year-old software.

This app gets higher marks since Zake contacted me so quickly. Unfortunately, although I'd tried out sending texts to a small group--and it did well--the scale up did not perform well for me. I did make separate groups in my contacts by labeling the company field and using that to make my 50-person group text. I still must now delete. More than 400 entries from my personal contact list--unless there is a simpler way?
Zake--are you saying that if I used the personalized option, I could have distributed them in one go?
