User Reviews

Reviewers praise ease of use and SMS automation when the app works, especially on Android Oreo. However, a core problem is the loss of one-tap sending after updates and policy changes, forcing manual or double taps. Pro purchases frequently fail, with refunds requested or payments deducted without access. Other recurring issues include widget bugs, such as unwanted extra text, oversized icons, and confusing character limits. Overall, reliability and the change to instant send are the main pain points, while the app’s automation concept remains valued when the features work.

Pros

Easy to use and simple setup.
Effective automation for sending SMS / commands.
Works on Android Oreo and is easy to set up for SMS automation.

Cons

No longer sends SMS automatically; requires manual confirmation or two taps due to policy/update.
Pro purchases not unlocking or refund issues; payments deducted but features unavailable.
Widget/text bugs: extra appended text, large icons, and confusing text limits.

Recent reviews

The new version does not send sms automatically. Instead you have to confirm sending. I installed the old 4.0 version and now it works with one tap on widget.

The App don't do what is said in the video and in the description. We need to press Send in message app, useless, it's supposed to be one touch only. I paid the Pro version, and the App it's not working as it should be, How to refund?
