User Reviews

Reviews mainly complain that an update removed one-tap sending, requiring users to confirm messages manually. Several users say version 4.0 still works and disable updates to keep it. There are also repeated complaints about Pro purchases or features not working, plus unwanted message text or character-count problems. Some users value the app for quick, repeated SMS shortcuts, especially in older versions.

Pros

Earlier versions, especially 4.0, were praised for reliably sending SMS with one tap; several users said they kept using that version.
The shortcuts were useful for sending frequent or simple messages, including repeated SMS commands and quick updates.

Cons

Recent versions no longer send with one tap and instead open the messaging app for manual confirmation, which many users say defeats the app’s main purpose.
Multiple users report problems after paying for Pro, including Pro features not activating or paid features not working as expected.
Users report unwanted extra text or a character-count issue in messages, including after upgrading to Pro.

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.
