Pros and cons of Group Text Easy app for iPhone and iPad

Group Text Easy app good for

Makes my life much easier. Texted 54 messages the first time! I have to text many people at a time for my job and it helps out a lot. Works with groups already made in MobileMe and vice versa.
Make sure you disable group texting in iPhone settings. You can pick 1 number per contact.
big fan of this app. I am a concert promoter and its SO ANNOYING having to go 1 by 1, im stoked to have gotten this app. thanks for recognizing an applicable change and making something good better.
This is a good app, but I hate that it doesnt work for contacts with multiple numbers if their mobile number is designated as an "iPhone." I have to designate these contacts as"mobile." A small inconvenience, but still. When I saw an update was available, I was certain it was to fix that. But apparently not.
I used this app to coordinate a NYC trip of about 10 couples. Once in the city TextGroups proved invaluable at keeping everyone informed as to group plans, etc. The only problem: after last update, all my groups got deleted. Had to recreate everything "Yet again." But for that reason I would rate 5 stars.
Ive tried perhaps ten of the group message apps. This is the only one that shows you exactly which emails youre sending to and lets you choose this one cc, next one bc, etc. Ive deleted all the others!

Some bad moments

I have purchased the app. It is useless. Does not support to access all the address books. Waste of money.
Since I updated to new version its become difficult to send group message
When I went to send my first message, right after I sent it, the Apple reboot screen showed. When I went back into my messages to see if it sent, ALL of my history was GONE. The message did send (I got some responses) but Ive lost every text message that I received or sent.
I am able to create new groups but when I select contacts to add to the group, it doesnt show any of them. And with absolutely no help or settings to adjust, this became a waste of $0.99.
It stopped working. My phone freezes and the text doesnt go out. What happened?
I mistaken thought I could use this to have a conversation like on my iPhone with Messages, but no, it only sends. Needs to be made clear.
