Needs a search function on the page to add contacts to a group. I have thousands of contacts so can't easily add a dozen or so for a group.

I've been using this for the user testing purpose. When I launch something new, I'd reach out to friends and family to give it a try.
Pros:- Helps you to reach out to your close circle when you launch a product - You can create a contact group which you can reuse everytime
Cons:None
I've been using this for informing friends and family for a launch of a new product (ask them to give it a try, provide feedback, etc.). You can also create a group of contact that includes the most closest people in your network for different purposes (e.g. invite them for an event, try your new app, etc.). Indeed very handy!
Hello people π!
When I was a student I used a lot group bulk messages to invite my friends for a party or a dinner.
I was sending message like "Hello people, I invite you to my party tomorrow, please let me know if you join?" and only the closest friends were answering.
Then I improved it to "Hey dude, how are you, I invite you to my party tomorrow, please let me know if you join?", and I got a little bit more answers because it looked more personal.
It's only when I added the name of my friend instead of "dude" that I got the highest rate of answers.
But what if you have to invite 50 or 100 people π€? it takes ages to copy paste and change the name!
That is why I decided to build TextBlast π, that helps you to send personalized mass messages easily using your friend's name (with the option of editing before sending). It will take you 5 minutes instead of 5 hours π! I hope you like it and also helps you to save some time π
*Note that it's not 100% automated because iOS and Android (very recently) restricted the SMS permissions, you will still have to press the sending button Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
@sandochee I see there is an inapp purchase - is that for a certain amount of use?
Guessing this is not for business use as there will be no opt out?
@krishnade Hi, the inapp purchase works forever, it's a one time purchase, it unlocks the number of groups and contacts per group. Unfortunately as you were guessing there is no opt out π Maybe this can be implemented in the future.
@sandochee Thanks for confirming - perhaps put a message in app to remind people of this so to use it when they have permission to message people and not for business as it won't conform with data protection across the globe - just to cover yourself!
Amazing product as you come to expect from Sandoche & Co. I always follow your launches and I am very impressed with every single new thing you guys come up with. Intuitive, easy to use, and very helpfull when you want to get the sms to multiple people. Well done!
@carlos_bernabeu Thanks a lot Carlos π There are a lot of products I will be released this year!
This is actually a life saver! I will use this to promote my new website π. Very well design, straight to the point and intuitive app also, I am starting to get convinced by NativeScript βΊοΈ
Did you test if SMS have higher answer rate than WhatsApp for example?
@patricia_mayo1 Thanks a lot! You will see it works good.
Well, for the answer rate it really depends on the people you are targetting and your country. In France a lot of people are still using a lot SMS instead of Whatsapp
Interesting but for me the app does crash when trying to create a group. I do have about 10230 contacts tho....
@debarati_ghosh With Textblast you can automatically append the Firstname or Lastname of your contacts, also the SMS are sent from your device and not a third party number. So your friends really knows that it comes from you. Does this answer your question?
Could understand the pricing strategy.
As no pricing was mentioned or found in app and on website.
I want to use it for my students but since I don't see pricing details, I am not giving it full try
@nikhilchhajar Sorry for the missing pricing.
Each SMS are sent from your mobile, so the price of each SMS sent depends on your mobile network provider.
Nevertheless, there is a limitation of 10 contacts that you can unlock buying Textblast Premium (an in app purchase) that you have to buy only once.
