Comments on SMS Group Invite for Android
★★★★★
Love it. Could use some tweaking like automatically sorting the yes/maybe/no replies given, and allowing an attachment in the invite, but over all, the best text invite app thus far.
★★★★★
Long term user, issue with text inbox filling up I am a pro user and have used this app for many years. It has worked great. However, since the recent update all of the outgoing messages are saved to my text message inbox creating a mess of messages and also causing my important text messages to get thrown to the bottom of the list making them impossible to find. It is also hard to see who actually replies to the invite because of the huge amount of outgoing messages that are showing up. How can this be fixed? The old version did not put the sent messages in your send folder. Another suggestion: When selecting names to invite, can this be setup more like our contacts in our phone. This could include pictures of our contacts just like our phone. If we can at least get the outgoing text message saving option removed this would help me as of right now I am currently trying to find another option. Hate to do this but I can't stand my inbox being filled of these outgoing messages.
★★★★★
Awesome app... wish it had colors and what not but over all a good app.
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't do what it's supposed to. Of the 18 people I sent an invite to only 5 people were reached and 13 failed to send. Ended up just using my own sms instead. Uninstalled this non working app.
★★☆☆☆
Samsung galaxy 5 Fills up my inbox with same sent message. And now splits the message in 3parts. It did not do this on galaxy 3. Might need to find another app to send group messages :(
★★☆☆☆
Sending Issue Like the app, but on my Galaxy S5, sending to about 150 people takes wayyyy too long. Only sends like 8 messages an hour n there is no way to change the settings.
