Updated to use newest contacts database, and HTML display methods.

App Description

TextShot lets you easily send SMS* and iMessages to groups of friends or colleagues. Messages are sent directly from the app with a single tap of the TextShot logo on the title page.

Save typing by choosing from your own preset messages (such as “I’m running late. I’ll be there as soon as I can”, or “I’ll be there in ten minutes”) You can edit the message before it is sent.

This version lets you try for free, with 2 groups of up to 4 contacts, and can easily be upgraded with an in-app purchase to remove those limits. "TextShot Pro", without those restrictions, is also available on the App Store.

From the makers of the popular "MailShot" group email app, TextGroup features all the same methods to quickly create groups from your contacts.

• Create message groups by adding contacts from your address book.

• Create your own message presets, for rapid re-use.

• Add multiple contacts quickly using a checklist, or add entire address book groups.

• You can also add contacts manually, bypassing your address book

• Replicates the look and feel of our popular “MailShot” group email app.

• NEW Import from a list of names and numbers.

• Supports Voiceover.

COMPATIBILILTY

iPhone can send both SMS and iMessages to groups. iPad can only send iMessages without assistance from an iPhone

To send to groups larger than 10, please disable the "Group Messaging" switch in the Messages page of the Settings app, if it is present. If it is not, disable the switch marked "MMS Messaging".

NOTE: TextShot is not designed to send group email (please try our "MailShot" app for that)
