About GroupText

SMS/Text a group of people quickly and easily.

No limit (phone may have limit; see FAQ. E.g. some telephone companies may only allow 10 texts). Users have reported sending over 750 in one go!

Generic Failures notice:
Some phones with Android Jellybean and Kitkat have started getting these. Especially on messages longer than 160 characters.
It seems to be an issue with the phone's build of Android itself - especially Samsung - but we are trying to find a workaround. The Setting "Generic Failure fix" setting may help and it is a good idea to keep messages to less than 160 long.
Remember that other apps have the same issue - it is not just GroupText - we cannot fix the phones.

Uses your Gmail contacts and groups.
History.
Multiple account support.
Group edit (via GroupManager).
Name substitution using "$firstname", "$lastname" and "$fullname".
Schedule messages: send a message later (Note that this new function is in Beta).

This app cannot be saved to the SD card due to an Android feature to allow it to Send Later.

Nice..fantastic.

The Apps good for what it does, but a problem I have is that our mobile phone is restricted to 50 texts at one time. Now I'm not sure is the group text app has gotten round that or if there is a way of seeing who hasn't received a text yet, if sending out to more than 50 people at a time.

The ads are on top of app and not on bottom...Very very annoying

Why am I receiving ads with the paid version?

Z70%
by Z####:

When you have multiple numbers under one contact it shows all those numbers available for selection to text. But it defaults to "custom" to identify each person even though I have entered the specific name of the person. So unless I know each number off by heart, I can't use it to select the correct recipients. Also it doesn't provide a delivery confirmation for each recipient, which is vital.

Z70%
by Z####:

It is a good app, but needs the options to set only x SMS per second, as the rest of the SMS fail.

Z70%
by Z####:

Works very well. Still a few enhancement to be made but I am happy with it. Well done.

U70%
by U####:

I hate it when I get stuck in a group text where someone says something and my phone gets blown up when everyone says "ok". This app splits them up and sends individual texts. As a parents that coaches my kids sport teams I love this app. I can text parents as a group and not get all the confusion. I see some people don't like this but it is perfect for me. Thanks

Z70%
by Z####:

The app is a bit awkward but that is acceptable. I wanted this app to allow me to personalize my group messages. While it allows you to add a firstname field, to the message, it only uses the first letters until it sees a space. In other words, if one of my recipients is Mr John Smith, my message will say "Hello Mr" instead of "Hello John". If you don't use titles, this will work. I will have to keep looking.

I have to text about 300 people a day. At first it was working fine now when i press send it stays sending then it shows that i lose coverage and most people don't receive my texts. Really annoying. Please look into it.

by Z####:

It sends sms to many contacts at a go, but each sms appear as an individual conversation, this is annoying especially when u send an sms to 50+ people, this means you will have 50+ new coversations. Please fix this

by Z####:

You are able to send txt to a group and the msg will be received by each individual separately. The only thing is that if I have more than 1 group to send it to I have to delete and add people individually.

Does exactly what I wanted it to do. One issue was duplicating selected contacts in the selected section. Just watch it before you hit send.

I was able to make end out 100 or more text with no problem and then I upgraded to Marshmallow. Now I have text that arent making it to certain contacts. I am not sure if the app has been upgraded to handle the Marshmallow upgrade. Is there an update in the works?

I wanted an app where I could send a group message to more than 20 people. This app sent them all as individual messages instead of one group text.

Y70%
by Y####:

When I send the message a lot of them don't send and I have to click on each individual message and resend it. It's very annoying. I would also like the ability to send a group message. I am Using a Nexus 6p.

This app completely messed up my phone. Completely shut down my entire texting. Had to do a factory reset and some apps still not working properly.

I was previously using Handcent SMS but for some reason it stopped sending texts. I downloaded GroupText and sent the first text to 185 contacts in less than two minutes. This is perfect for my use - I need to send one-way texts to a large number of people that are in a Google Group and if they reply it only comes to me (not the whole group). I can't wait to use the Send SMS later feature for reminders. The other thing I didn't like about Handcent was that if a contact had multiple numbers stored (home, mobile etc) I would have to manually check each one I wanted to send to. I love that with GroupText I can 'select all'. This alone makes up for the ads at the bottom.
