Works exactly as intended with perfect execution, super simple interface, and minimal ads. Very satisfied. I work all hours of the day and often think of things I need to text at times that would be inappropriate to send them. When normal waking hours arrive, I forget who or what I needed to send. This app allows me to write out the text my boss, Mom, or whoever else at 3am but have it actually sent at 8am. It's perfect. Love it.

I'd give it 5 stars if they had a version I could buy to avoid the ads... I get they need to make money...so I understand the ones in the free app... It would just be nice to have a version you could buy that would be ad free... Otherwise the app is perfect... VERY easy to use... Nothing fancy... Just your basic "delay" texting app... By far the most user friendly one I've ever used! Highly recommend it!!

Ive used this a couple times and find it a useful. Issues:once I have my msg written, date selected, and hit SET, there's no flash of confirmation that ive done it correctly. When I pick ”pending Msgs" it doesn't show any, so I never know if ive entered everything in correctly or not, I just have to wait and see. Also the big SEND MESSAGE button near the top of the compose page is intuitively what I want to select before seeing the SET button, but I believe that would make the msg send now, right?

On the one time I used it, it didn't work. Text was sent hours later than scheduled. So I read the other reviews and decided to try again. Scheduled a text for 6.30 am which arrived at 8.20 am, too late to be actioned. There were no Internet connection problems with either phone. My old Galaxy had this built in and it always worked perfectly. Will be uninstalling to try another app. Don't believe the good reviews, this app does NOT work properly

I love this app. I can write a text in the middle of the night if I wake up thinking about something and then set the time I want it to go out to the person, at a more reasonable hour, and Text Later will do the rest. Then I'm able to clear that thought out of my head and I don't have to worry about it. I can even edit the text before it goes out if I wake up and change mind my as to what I wanted to say.

This is probably the most useful app I have. Think of a question you absolutely need to remember to ask someone tomorrow, but it's too late tonight? Schedule it. Need to let your boss know that you're going to be out "sick?" Schedule it. Have to take away one star because every time I try to open a scheduled message for review, the app crashes.

About this app

Text Later is the simple solution to sending SMS messages at a later date. Need to send a reminder about a meeting? Or maybe you are a little forgetful about sending out Happy Birthday messages to friends and family. Text Later allows you to send out SMS messages to contacts, at any date or time of your choosing. Make sure you have a texting plan through your carrier, as Text Later sends standard SMS messages and you are responsible for any charges from your carrier regarding the sending of SMS messages.

The latest update refreshes the UI to better conform to updated Android standards. Now it's even simpler to schedule text messages!

By default you can send messages based on a 15 minute interval, however if you prefer a different spacing you can change it in the settings menu.

In Android KitKat and above, dent messages will be logged to your default messages app. That way you'll never forget what you said.

If you find issues please email me, don't put them in the comments. I cannot respond to comments, but I will fix issues that come to me via email. :)

Some comments have claimed this will send spam messages. THE APP WILL NOT SEND SUCH MESSAGES. If you are getting that it is from some other app. That type of behavior is against Google play policy, and I do not engage in that sort of thing. The only messages that will be sent are ones that you schedule.

This is a free app, I make no warranties regarding it.

PERMISSION EXPLANATION
- READ CONTACTS: This is used purely so you can choose from your existing contacts when sending a message.
- SEND SMS: This is obviously required to send out SMS Messages.
- START AT BOOT: This is so the application can continue to send messages that have previously been scheduled for after your phone restarts.
- INTERNET: This is a free ad-supported application. Internet access is used *ONLY* for ads.

NEW v 1.4
- WAKE LOCK (Prevent device from sleeping): This ensures that messages go out at the time that they are scheduled, and not delayed if the device happens to be in a CPU idle sleep.
- WRITE SMS: This is for the new experimental feature to log the SMS messages to your default SMS app.
- READ SMS: This is required and used ONLY for the new experimental feature so that SMS messages can be added to your regular SMS app.

NEW v. 1.7
- READ_PHONE_STATE: Required by LG to solve some force-close issues.
