Re: Finally iOS 18 will be able to schedule messages

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

It's good that you're asking questions.

It sent when I turned airplane mode back on.

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.

The good news is you're asking questions.

The bad news is that we covered this a thousand times already on this
newsgroup (yes, both on the Apple newsgroup and on the Android newsgroup).

There's a *reason* I called it the last known good version of PulseSMS.

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.

I don't want to come down too hard on you because you're at least asking
questions, which is something most of the ignorant Apple zealots never do.

The bad thing is we covered this a thousand times already, where we covered
it in the Apple newsgroups when we explained there's nothing that messages
does on Apple products that PulseSMS doesn't do on every platform, where
even Steve Scharf (SMS) got into the act saying that PulseSMS was sold to
Maple Media years ago.

There's a *reason* I called it "the last known good version" by the Klinker
brothers and why my screenshots showed that, which is you have to use the
last known good version.

Since we've covered this a thousand times, you'll pardon my frustration as
I'm not used to people needing something to be told to them a thousand
times. But I do appreciate that you looked it up.

That's better than what the Apple morons do who never look anything up.
So I give you credit for figuring out what I knew years ago but which the
Apple uneducated religious zealots like Jolly Roger & Alan Browne never
will figure out.

Hence, you're at least smarter than they are, which is a good thing.
So here are some searches for "last known good version pulsesms"...
