It makes my job easier
10/04/2018

I deal with a lot of people in my job. I needed an app to sort my many contacts so I know who’s calling me before I pick up. I also didn’t need to scroll through hundreds of names to find who I needed to call. This app has worked so far & I can have a lot of categories to sort my contacts - by week and destination, bus Drivers, group Leaders, Hotels, restaurants, tour Guides, etc. There are 3 things that bug me. 1. Sometimes it will not let me edit a date or delete something like a date or phone # that I’ve entered incorrectly. 2. Another thing is I might have 2 or 3 dates listed chronologically on a contact & I enter a new date & I go back into the contact & find the date has been moved to between the other dates or to the top date location throwing the chronological order off. If I re-edit it sometimes it works & sometimes it doesn’t.3. The last thing is after I enter a new contact this box pops up: Do you want more information on this contact yes or no. My answer is always no. This is annoying & a waste of my time. I want to be able to turn that option off!

Groups App is Awesome

This App has been a time saver for me concerning email and text message addresses to my groups. If you are sending out group emails and text messages in a small group environment in church, community, military organizations, clubs, etc., I recommend using this App. You can add addresses or phone numbers one time and choose each message or text who you want to include or who you want to leave out. You can also add and delete people as you desire. I highly recommend this App, and that’s without knowing what else it can do... Looking forward to the rest of you telling me what else I may be missing in this App. I also recommend you investing in the different upgrades that you need or if for no other reason, to support this company for this awesome App. Thanks. Be blessed and be safe. 20April2020 P.S. ‼️Ready to give it less than a five, if it keeps asking me each month to review it again after I’ve already reviewed it... Please fix that. Thank you. 26July2020

Merging Contacts Bug
10/05/2019

I was excited to see this app as I needed an app to help me manage the different groups of contacts I have. I’m running into a couple of issues. 1. The function to consolidate duplicates is great, the bug here is I can only successfully merge one set of duplicates, when I repeat the process to merge the next set of duplicates I get kicked out of the app, the app shuts down. So to merge the next set of duplicates I would have to go into the app and start the process from the beginning. Each time it allows me to merge one set of duplicates then the app shuts down.2. The functionality that lists out all the contacts that have potential duplicates is great. However, the “merge” button is not enabled even after I have put a check mark next to each suggested contact that has duplicates, the result is I cannot do the group merge, even though intuitively I think this is the purpose of the list and the merge button. Can you please address these issues? Thanks

Undependable

I’ve been using this app for several years to send groups texts to my church members and to my employees. The first few years were fine, with a few times that, for some reason unknown, people just wouldn’t get their texts, or it just wouldn’t work at all. Since the update, I have really disliked using it. Firstly, it is so undependable. I never know when it’s going to decide to work. Some days, it won’t even load on my phone when I open it. Other times, I write the message and get ready to send, and it does nothing! I’m left scrambling at the last minute trying to send an important message to 60 people! Also, I don’t find it to be as user friendly as it once was. If I want to delete a contact in a certain group, but keep them in another one, it erases the contact entirely from my personal phone! Why would you do that?! I didn’t realize that happened and hadn’t written down the person’s info, and I had to call other people to get it. That infuriated me! Please, please fix this! When the app works, it’s great, but it just isn’t consistent.

Please, if you want to remove contacts from groups, do not delete contacts using the trash can button. The app even warns you about this before attempting it. You are supposed to select the contact and edit it groups. You can certainly remove the contact from a groups and keep it in others, within 4 taps. That’s a major purpose of why we built this app.

Make your messages stand out from the crowd! Add fun text effects like fancy fonts, circles, and squares to any SMS or email subject line. Plus, we fixed a bunch of small bugs reported by our users.
