## Review summary

SA Group Text Lite is a capable mass texting tool with CSV/Excel data support and group/contacts sending, praised for usefulness and practicality. However, reliability is hampered by ad/video load failures, file storage and path issues after updates, Android permission compatibility problems, occasional duplicate messages on certain devices, and missing dual-SIM selection. Overall it’s useful but not consistently dependable across versions and hardware.

### Pros

- Very effective mass messaging tool with practical workflow once learned.
- Supports Excel and CSV imports and can send SMS from contacts and groups.
- Authentic and generally good for SMS tasks; handy in bulk messaging.
- Simple, lightweight interface that is functional and practical.

### Cons

- Ads/video loading failures hinder sending bulk messages.
- File import and storage access issues across updates: cannot read internal storage, folders/files visibility affected, path issues.
- Android version compatibility and background-permission handling are flaky (permissions prompts, greyed-out options).
- Sending duplicates on some devices (e.g., Samsung Note 20).
- No option to select a SIM card for dual-SIM devices.
