Coming from an officer in a Student Organization at a University there are many issues that seem to be solved with solid communication. Sending out consistent Alerts and Reminders are a huge part of being successful. E-mails work alright, however myself, like many college students, do not prioritize checking and responding to e-mails, especially mass-emails, with our busy schedules. The next best thing would be to set up a group chat such as a GroupMe, however the important announcements can get easily buried between other posts in the giant group thread. E-mail to SMS gateways work great for sending a large group of individual texts, however you'd need to know every member in your organizations carrier, which is a hassle.

M-txt removes the hassle and provides a simple and intuitive way to send mass text alerts to a student organization. M-txt allows the user to select one of the phone's contact groups, either stored on the phone or synced to their Google account. M-txt then allows the user to send an individual text message using just their android phone to the entire group! The beauty of syncing with Google Contacts is allowing the ease of adding in new contacts and creating new groups from the comfort of a desktop or laptop rather than an Android phone. This provides an incredibly fast way to upload contacts and connect to your student organization. All the user needs to know are the phone numbers of their group members.

Another key feature is the ability to insert contacts names into the messages. This allows the messages to feel more personal and can help with their effectiveness by making members not feel as if they're just a part of a large group message. M-txt is an incredibly intuitive way to send mass text alerts.
