For the people who send the texts
The app is for the coaches, leaders, and staff who send announcements and answer replies. Members never need it. They keep getting plain text messages on any phone that can text, flip phones included.
Install on iPhone
- Open rallytext.app/dashboard in Safari and sign in.
- Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow pointing up).
- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.
- Open RallyText from your home screen. If it asks you to sign in, sign in once more.
- To get reply alerts, tap Enable when the dashboard offers notifications, then tap Allow.
Reply alerts on iPhone and iPad need iOS 16.4 or later, and they only work from the installed app on your home screen, not from a Safari tab.
Install on Android
- Open rallytext.app/dashboard in Chrome and sign in.
- Tap Install when the dashboard offers it. Or open the Chrome menu (⋮) and choose Install app. Some phones call it Add to Home screen.
- Open RallyText from your home screen or app drawer.
- To get reply alerts, tap Enable when the dashboard offers notifications, then tap Allow.
Install on a computer
In Chrome or Microsoft Edge, open the dashboard and click Install when it's offered, or use the install icon at the right end of the address bar. RallyText then opens in its own window and can show reply alerts while your browser is running.
Know when someone texts back
When a member replies, staff who turned on alerts get a notification with the sender's name and the start of the message. Tap it to open the inbox. Alerts go to the staff roles that receive replies. You can turn them off any time in your phone's or browser's notification settings.
