Used to be a great app

I have had this app for several years and when it first came out I was like AWESOME. No more worries about distractions while I was driving and the auto text message worked great. All my friends and family would comment on the text they received and signed up afterwards. Now that feature does not work. I used to auto reply to EVERY call and text with a text message I customized. I could be awesome again but now it is one more app taking up space on my phone.
Great concept but is not compatible with iMessage

Can’t wait till I can use this app with iMessage. It’s a great idea but it’s kind of pointless until the update is made.
Incompatible with iMessage
Dom dad
This app is incompatible with iMessage which is incompatible with how my family uses our phones. It's a nonstarter.
Thumbs down
No iMessages while driving
It does not block iMessages. Tells you to turn iMessages off. If they if AT&T was serious about their campaign of not texting they figure out a way to make it work.
Why doesn't the auto-reply turn on!

When I attempted to turn on the auto-reply it goes through to motion to activate then opens the auto-reply message box as if I was going to edit my response.
No iMessage Support

The idea is great. However without iMessage support this app has no value.
Does not work with iMessage

This app seems great and I was excited to use it until I downloaded it and read it is NOT compatible with iMessage. You must turn off iMessage to use it. I'm not willing to do that.
No iMessage auto-reply support
Flying game fanatic
Useless until it's able to silence AND auto-reply to iMessages as well as SMS/MMS.
Doesn't work

Click on auto reply then it automatically shuts off again right away. Junk. Don't install until fixed
Awful app.

This app may be ok for AT&T customers but it's useless for anyone else. It will not send auto replies if you are not an AT&T customer, so what's the point? In auto mode it will turn your ringer & alert sounds off while you're driving but I want it to send a reply saying I'm driving & I'll get back to the sender later. Plus, there does not appear to be a way to customize the reply. Don't waste your time with this.
