About this app

If you are still using the SMS texting app that came with your phone, you really should check out Bantr.

Bantr is a smart, new SMS/text messaging app, with incredibly useful features not found in other SMS apps.

* Schedule messages to be delivered later
* Broadcast a message to 25 people individually, all at once
* Cancel a sent message (wait a few seconds before sending)
* Set any conversation as VIP (to keep family, etc, at the top)
* Flag conversations (just like in email)
* Contact/Group muting and blocking
* Text to speech (hear new messages spoken as they arrive)
* Add home screen shortcuts to any conversations
* Great integrated emoji keyboard
* Super fast message searching
* Super fast message & conversation deleting

All of that, and Bantr is totally free - no ads and no in-app purchases.

Bantr replaces the default SMS app that shipped with your device, instantly improving the way you text and communicate. If you ever uninstall Bantr, your sent/received messages will not be lost - you can go right back to your previous SMS app. But we're pretty sure you'll love Bantr and keep it forever!
