YipSMS Simple SMS Marketing

we liked the pay-as-you go model. very few apps like this out there, but this app is very basic and difficult to navigate. doesnt include emoji's to spice things up a bit and doesnt optimize time of day to send so youre left on your own experience. extremely slow to load, unable to initiate a campaign from mobile. And, cant figure out how to fund a campaign. ugg. you want to pay folks, and cannot. LOL

YipSMS has been pretty easy to use for my campaigns. I did run into a top-up issue once, but their team got it fixed the next day. Would be great if they add a feature to edit or update lists/segments — that would make things even smoother.

Buggy and unreliable, with almost no customer support.

Here are the issues we experienced:

Pop-ups wouldn’t work at all — setup only produced a blank screen.

Automations couldn’t be set up — constant error messages.

Pricing errors — the app repeatedly tried to overcharge me (3x the correct price) until I refreshed.

No SMS compliance guidance — this is a huge risk, since violations can lead to fines of up to $500 per message.

The concept behind the app is decent, but in practice it doesn’t work. Support is extremely slow — it took them over a week to reply to my latest ticket, and their only suggestion was to “maybe do a screen share next week.” Meanwhile, they offer no clarity around SMS compliance, leaving users exposed to serious legal risk.

Bottom line: The app is buggy, support is nearly nonexistent, and the lack of compliance information could put businesses in danger.
