### "software for the small user as well as mass marketing"

June 8, 2022

5.0

great for the small use as well large corp.

Pros

ease of building different groups and using templets for repetitive emails.

Cons

automatically assigning a random phone number to the account is regretful. Would rather be allowed to use a number recognized by recipient.

### "Pros & Cons"

November 10, 2021

4.0

So far so good.

Pros

Pony Express HQ is very easy to use so far. Everything is set up and ready for you to use within your dashboard. This is my first time trying Pony Express HQ so I can't thoroughly give my full thoughts on it. They give a good bit of opportunities to earn free credit so that should help you get a feel for it before spending your own money.

Cons

This is my first time trying Pony Express HQ so I can't thoroughly give my full thoughts on the cons.

### "Great Product"

October 15, 2020

5.0

My overall experience has been extremely well, its helped us bring in more patients. The patients also love the ease of access and the fact that they can message us back and ask questions.

Pros

The thing that I liked most about this software is how easy it us for consumers to sign up via texting the key phrase to the number attached to this account

Cons

I feel that one good feature would be to include a way to have the mass text say the name of the person we are messaging individually

### "Great fit for my small business"

April 3, 2019

4.0

Because I only need to receive image files, this works well for me. I do not send PDF or other attachments via text. Since my text usage is low volume, the price works well for my budget.

Pros

The price is really good for my needs. I do not use bulk mass texting or send non image attachments. This software does allow IMAGE attachments, 1 to 1 conversations, receives texts initiated by anyone using the dedicated text line #. Love the fact that I can drag and drop attachments once received.

Cons

Not much. But, wish the Conversation List (Inbox and Sent) would also show the contact's Name not just their phone #.

I am inclined to move forward with it.

Pros

Understood this App in about 15 -20 minutes. Had my first broadcast message out to a group of 20 within 20 minutes.

Cons

I had a little trouble logging in on the phone portion of the App. But, connectivity could have been the issue. I sent a help request via email and got a response within the hour.
