User reviews
Updating my review from a few months ago. So like another user, the app sometimes sends 10-12 old messages. Not sure if it is when a group text gets updated or an RCS message. Hope this issue gets fixed soon. I do like that the email does not have to go through a Google account to be sent. A feature I would like to see is the ability to set different times for each day of the week you want the app to operate.

I absolutely do not recommend. I'm really hoping that I don't lose business over this app. I set it up for clients text messages to go to my business email and this morning it sent out random text message conversations between me and other people to all of my clients.

When I tested the app message forward feature. It start sending same messages in bulk which doesn't require leads to lose some amount of charge which exhausted daily limit. Guys keep check on this, fix and improve.
