About Tap2Text - SMS / TXT Shortcuts

Create home screen widgets that instantly send a predefined TXT / SMS message to a contact. The widgets act like shortcuts to send messages. Works similar to a pager with canned responses.

Choose the contact and write the message. Each time you click the widget your message will be sent.

Features
• Customizable countdown timer before sending message to stop accidental tap.
• Add 1 or more contacts to each message.
• You can choose what text appears on the widget.
• Lots of different colors to distinguish your widgets.
• Optionally choose to save your text message in your phone's outbound sent items.
• Edit messages on the fly.
• Small 1 x 1 sized widget.
• NO advertising, banners etc.

Examples:
• Let your spouse know that you're going to be home in 30min.
• Tell your boss that you are running 5min late
• Let your friend know that you are free to catchup.
• Write your own, you're free to decide!!
• Perform some home automation

NOTE: The words 'sent by Tap2Text' are automatically added to the end of each message. If you want to remove this simply purchase the 'Tap2Text Unlock' application from the store or use the in-app purchase button.

F.A.Q
• How to add widget to Home screen
On home screen press "menu", then "add", click on "widgets" and choose "Tap2Text" from the list
(If you can't press add button for some reason, workaround is to press and hold any space on the home screen and a menu pops up)
On most of devices with Android 4.0 widget can be found under "Widgets" tab in app drawer
• Can't find Tap2Text in list of Widgets
Try to restart home launcher application (or device)
• Wrap text on Widget label
Use n to add a newline into your widget label.

X70%
by X####:

useful for sending repetitive messages

G70%
by G####:

I had a negative experience. 1) Shouldn't have to click on the "+" after I've already typed in the contact name. Especially when sending to just one contact. 2) It adds extra text to the SMS message unless you pay for the app. This caused me to uninstall because I needed to send messages to an automated system which doesn't understand the extra text. 3) The widget icon was way too big and I couldn't figure out a way to change that

X70%

Gives me only two options, upgrade to pro, or close. Supposedly I'm supposed to be able to try it before upgrading... unable to do so.

by X####:

Hasn't been updated in 2 1/2 years. Not working on Nougat. Worked on Lollipop & below. Emailed developer, no reply.

L70%
by L####:

Does what it says. Everything has simple and clean design. Worth the money. There's no need to give less stars for something it doesn't promise. Only downfall is no feedback button but we can email the dev. I'd request a few ideas. 1) Dual SIM. 2)Give drop down list options and enter values while editing messages similar to "SMS Templates Plus Free" by 5 Kupang Studios. 3) Add current GPS location.. EDIT : Recently the widget sends double texts each time I send one text.

Y70%

Exactly the simplicity I was looking for to send a group e-mail to one recipient at a time (no REPLY ALLS!) for simple messages like "I'm leaving now' or 'Running 15 minutes late'. I accidentally sent a message because I didn't realize I could set the send delay option! The manual send option helps me not to worry that I'll accidentally launch another message. Excellent! Wish the foot print was a little bit smaller so that it is the same size as the other app widgets on my Samsung. I think more information about the features up front is needed. Happily paid the 0.99 cents just to say Thanks - I needed that!

Y70%
by Y####:

Very useful app, but 2 things would make it perfect: 1) allow the widget to be 1x1, 2x2 is too big and a waste of space. 2) would love to have 1 widget to click, but then given a choice of 3-5 pre-entered text messages to send. And/Or send one of those messages at random. Would pay for full version if it included these.

I was afraid I was going to have to create an app, but then I found this gem. Works excellent, upgraded to the pro version to eliminate the tag with each text. We are using this app to send our gate the required SMS code to open it easily from the home screen.

The license/ pro version does not transfer to you're new device. Contacted support via email with no reply.

Seems to work well enough. There should be a way to reconfigure quick send messages.

It's forcing me to pay on the first screen

T70%
by T####:

You have to add it as a widget on the home screen. And once you press the icon. It sends your predefined msg to the your predefined number. I thought it worked in the sms app, but it doesn't.

U70%

Great improvement allowing messages to be sent to several people/ numbers at the same time.

U70%
by U####:

I am a pro user. I would give 5 stars if you offered a tap 2 share my location shortcut or widget option where I can create a shortcut with a person I want to share my location (google map link) with and the app I want to use for share. I.e. Skype user or message contact or Facebook message friend. When we create the shortcut we could check a option for sending the map link in front or behind our custom message.

Performs well on Samsung Tab. Font size feature would be nice.

Q70%
by Q####:

Great app but is there a way to create a widget that will send a pre-defined text message to more than one phone number?

Q70%
by Q####:

Needs minor improvement to allow the message to be sent to several people/ numbers at the same time i.e. I can only pre set to send the message to one person in it's current configuration.

Q70%
by Q####:

Every time there is an update it wipes out the widgets and I have to set then up again.

F70%
by F####:

I had to restart my phone to get the widget to show up in my widget list but after that it works perfectly. I use it with ifttt to record a work timesheet with the push of a button. Works great.

I made a suggestion to the dev and they incorporated it. And this was a good app to begin with
