Needs improvement I JUST uninstalled and will try something else. I scheduled 3 texts to send to an individual, one after the other, one minute apart ... the first one sent successfully and the next two didn't. Why? Who knows. Also, a number of times I would add a scheduled text and it would essentially tell me the time was invalid. IT WASN'T! Most of the time the app worked fine but sometimes it did not.

Does exactly what it should, simply. Yes obviously it won't work when your phone is switched off or you don't have reception, it's not magic and isn't storing your message on a cloud to send later. But if your phone is on and has coverage, it works perfectly. With a simple interface and options to send timed texts and emails it does the job well and without complication. The Dev also seems to be good at updating it which is often a bugbear with smaller developers. Great app.

Probably one of my most favorite tools ever! Does exactly what it's supposed to do and easily. A great way to send a message to someone without waking them up Wish I would have found this tool years ago. One thing that I also use it for is sending myself a message at a particular time. Things like don't forget to do this or that. Take yer meds etc. I highly recommend you give this a try. And get creative with it.

Very useful This works great for me. I use it to send reminders to myself and others because regular reminders seen to get missed too often. One enhancement I would suggest applied to adding recipients. When I start typing a name it starts to auto-complete and show matches/numbers that aren't mobile and can not receive texts. Filter this list to only show mobile numbers. My text messaging app actually has this as a user selectable setting (display all numbers or, mobile only)

Exactly what I've needed I don't know why this isn't built directly into the factory email, but this is the next best thing. Perfect for reminding my family of appointments, commitments, etc. I even use it to welcome guests to our vacation rental, setting it up when they book it. The sent text appears in your regular text message system. Perfect.

Great app! You want to send a text to someone, but not wake them up? Use this, and send it for a more convenient time. Want to look like you are working late? Text your coworkers late! Its a great app worth paying for. Note: the app generates a notification 'message sent' which tells you it went through. Your regular text message system wont show that it was sent. And thats not a problem. Remember : this is to send a message LATER. And then use your preferred text system for conversations you want NOW. Great app!!

Thank you for the kind review :). There is one point I have to correct through: this app does not send email :) Probably one of my most favorite tools ever! Does exactly what it's supposed to do and easily. A great way to send a message to someone without waking them up Wish I would have found this tool years ago.

Good app, I recommend it First off, I have to applaud the UI. Beautiful- I enjoy using this app due to it. I took a star off though because I'm not a fan of the military time on the scheduling function, (that's minor though,) and I think that you have to have internet connection to be able to send a message. (not COMPLETELY sure on this.) It's so inconvenient to have to drain your battery by keeping your WiFi or data on until the message sends, and WiFi isn't always available, so if you don't have data?
Two improvement required: 1. Sent message appears in stock messaging app but delivery report is not available. Needful may be done. 2. Scheduled message is sent through SIM 1 always. Provision should be there to select SIM. Needful may be done for this enhancement too. Otherwise developers have done good job creating this app. Thanks. All the best. Looking forward for above enhancements in new version.
Loving it Very powerful app. I just love the way it works out for me. Saves me time, saves me additional work. One feature of directly selecting contacts from contact book can be added. Right now we have to manually enter the number. Other wise ita one of the best app I have used ever. Are you working on social media send it later. It would be really great to schedule updates of social media as well.

Thank you for your feedback !
Actually, you can select the contacts from contact book (just type in the name, and it will automatically show you the matched names in contacts ) . On the first time running, the app have to load the contacts list, and it will not show the contacts if it is not completed yet :) - will fix in next version. So far so good I have only used this app for 3 days but so far its flawless. I work private security and they make us text an automated system to check in every hour during the night and often times I would forget to text in every hour. Now I have it scheduled and it sends it automatically. Must Download! Galaxy Note 3 user
Downgraded from 5 stars Let's me write people when the spirit moves me without worrying about waking them with incoming messages notifications in the middle of the night. Sent messages appear in your default text app so your records are in one place. No ugly ads.. But splits message into multiple messages. Even the short ones get split up. This is costly and unsightly.
Great tool for work I use this to communicate with new employees. Instead of messaging them today to remind them of something to do tomorrow, I can schedule it. I'll schedule a message for 10 minutes before their shift starts saying "Don't forget to vacuum!" Or 10 minutes before it ends saying "Make sure you fill out your time sheet." Or today for example, instead of contacting a coworkers at 6am when I remember something I need her to do, I scheduled it to send when her shift starts.
Simple and to the point. I have loved this concept for quite a while now and once I knew I could do it I quickly found an app that did texts for the future and was pumped about it. I used it for small things but I also used it for more important stuff like meetings or events I needed to attend. Then it just started to not send me messages unless I physically opened the app which is kind of the opposite of the point of said app. I ended up deleting it and downloaded this one and I've had zero problems. I use it everyday.
Stops working after one week! I've had this app for a while and initially it was great and served it's purpose. However, now, every 5-7 days it'll stop sending the messages (I have messages that need to be sent everyday) and then I need to go into the app and click on the message again and press save. What's the point of setting up scheduled messages when I need to go and "reset" it every few days.
App works, but lacks essential features. The app does indeed schedule your texts. But unfortunately there's a cancel button right next to the send. If you hit that by accident, the entire work report you've been working on for the last 15 minutes gets deleted with no 2nd chance or warning, and with no way to undo it. I will be looking for a new app immediately, sorry.
Perfect This app has never let me down. I have lots of things I need to get done or say but I have to wait to do it, this app lets me set it whenever I want and will always send it when you schedule it. Makes my life so much easier.
Was Great...But After I use this for approximately 3 months it starts sending some of the reminders an hour later than you schedule them for why is that??? Why is it only military time & nice if it had its own sound. These are the only things I would change...
Easy to use, if it works This app is great when it works right. Easy to add multiple senders, store messages for later use, and the interface is a no brainer to figure out. However, I've been having issues with it not sending messages. Can't pin-point to what conditions prevent the messages to send yet, it's pretty much random now.
It goes down hill... I've had this app for around a month now and just recently noticed every now and again it will send the message 20-60 minutes AFTER the time you set. not always, but it does happen. Plus the weekly, monthly and daily sending settings is a great way to annoy people I dont like 😆
I like the features The app is neat I love the ability to schedule texts for a future date. It helps me remember important meetings I've set up, and timers that allows me to run away from people I don't wanna talk to. Like send a txt in 5 min.
Does the job, nice and simple One plea. I sometimes want to send messages overnight, but none of these apps seem able to do it. Perhaps it needs some extra permissions to wake the phone up? Presumably alarm clock apps have this capability. EDIT found an app called LATR that does the above.
2 phone I don't use it often but I love it when I do. This is the second phone I have downloaded it on. I would say third but I can't remember if I had found it on my oldest phone... either way you know I love it I did download it on 2 phones after all. IF it doesn't send or says invalid you should look at the times and date. I have messed up sometimes with that but that was my fault not the apps.
Too limited. Uninstalled after trying one message My old phone had this built in. Straighttalk s5 does not. This is far inferior to the stock option on the older android. Failed to send first test message. Has an edit option but that only allowed a delete of pending texts rather than an edit of the actual text content. Pending list did not show time that it would be sent. No confidence in this doing what I am trusting it to do. Sorry. But at least offer equal usability to the old android feature.
Horrible app Im a software engineer android. Ao i can build this kind of a app very easily. I dont know u ar a noob or jst some stupid company.. If u ar a company. Please close ur company and do some other stuff..
A little axe cuts down big trees Very useful thing! Thanks a lot to developer. A request: please, let user to skip next sending (e.g. by editting schedule of task, or simply let him suspend and resume task)
Great program. Simple, str8 forward, works like a charm! Would have rated 5 but never got a reply when needed help. The problem had nothing to do with the app though. It was the phones APN settings in Str8 Talk.
Unreliable For no obvious reason it did not send several text messages I had scheduled for the next morning. As this program is highly rated the most likely reason I can think of is this app has not been updated by the developer in a long time and I have a new phone with latest android. Not going to waste my time any more and will just try an alternative app.
Best app ever!! Jobs done every time. I Dont know why sometimes it dont send scheduled msgs. But you did a really nice job. Can u add social networking scheduling in this too. Would be great to schedule ur post statuses or maybe mails. Just right on time
Best SMS Scheduler I've Found! I struggled to find a *reliable* SMS scheduler app that does what I want, and this one is almost perfect. I've benefited from it almost daily for the better part of a year. Kudos to the developer! P.S. 2 new feature requests: (1) option to auto retry failed sends when cell signal returns (2) ability to send on intermittent schedules, like every other week

Thank you for the feedback, I am working on a new version, and the options will be considered :) Kelly This app is great especially when a you don't want to disturb the recipient at a questionable time. The one thing that would make it much better is if were automatically an option in message, vs pulling up the app separately.
Best app I had my sister's bday so i looking for an timer app than i found it so i add a message and set timer and i sleep and when i am wake up in the morning i see that message is send on 00:01. It really a good app if you need any timer for message i suggests this app for you it really worth it..........
I tried this great app...it does perfectly what it says.. My previous SMS Scheduler sent 100 messages continuously to my client where it was supposed to send just one messege. I uninstalled it and it was hard to pacify the irate client. This app is the coolest one...Go for it..
I love it (update) Great app. Works great. I hope it remains the same. Many app dev do upgrades but make things worse. Now i wish it could do phone calls too. Maybe so it wont ruin this app, create a new app.
Great App for the Memoryless We use this app at work because our boss cannot remember anything 1 hour after he sets up an appointment. This app has made our jobs much easier.
Doesn't work! This app would be exactly what I want - if it worked. Tried sending a few test messages (both once and scheduled), but none of them arrived.
No good for me Can't send to 3 people,if I send to 1 person the txts come out in 2 separate txts...if there's a fix I'll buy
Very useful I found this app after some struggle. But now all my business and all my day text have become ease. Type and save it on time and work done. Possible try to change UI some modern look.
Needs am and pm option It's fantastic except it doesn't have an am or pm option. I scheduled a good night text to my mom everyday, but it sends the good night text at 10am. There's no way to edit am and pm to make the times more accurate.
I loved it but please read on.. I used this to give my dad a big happy fathers day. The only issue... not being able to send picture with it. The app works it's great but please add that in as a function!!! Then 5 solid stars from me!!!
I went on a men's retreat and I was not allowed a phone so I scheduled daily messages for. My wife. Upon my return I learned that none of the messages went through... Very dissapointed
