The good news is it works on all platforms, so anyone can test it out.

So why don't you? You're the one who already uses it and sing its praises.
You could have done it in the time it took write this post.

 
It worked for me, Chris, which I tried before you even asked, but I don't
want to risk saying it works for everyone since I only tested it once.
 
I turned on airplane mode.
I scheduled a message to my wife.
I waited an hour and turned airplane mode off.
 
It sent.

When? At the same time scheduled time or when you switched off airplane
mode?

Interestingly, you claim this app is free and open source, but the source
doesn't exist and the github releases haven't been updated in nearly 18
months.

That's worrying for an election app as they require regular updates to fix
vulnerabilities and bugs.

Will it send for everyone?
Hell if I know.
 
But if I say it does, then you guys will jump all over me, like you always
do, so I kept mum about it and simply said anyone could test it.
 
Pulse SMS works with Chrome & Firefox on any platform and it runs on
Android phones & tablets, and Android TV and macOS, Windows & Linux.
 
Unlike almost everything from Apple, PulseSMS works in the real world.

Not if you look at the reviews. Almost all recent reviews complain that it
doesn't work on Android (anymore) or requires a subscription.

The Play Store version has been updated so it looks like they've abandoned
their open source model.
