JammText 1.1.4 is now available. Our latest version improves syncing across multiple computers so you can run one computer at your events, then go to another computer at home and quickly access all your messages and contacts.
In other new features, JammText now allows you to mask your texting number. This is useful for events where you want to personally select who can text the screen. By masking your JammText number, only the individuals you give the number to can text the screen.
For video DJs who create custom banners, JammText now allows you to skip default instructional banners in banner mode. You can drag in your own custom instructions to the montage instead. Please note: JammText is designed to automatically stop showing default instructional banners if internet is temporarily unavailable. If you choose to create your own custom instructional banners, they will continue to run even if you lose your internet connection.
Download the new version by logging into your account on this website. Or if you haven’t gotten JammText yet, click here to sign up today!
