Hi, looks good, simple interface, very clear functionality, it's something that I would use if I needed it ... Having said that, I'm not sure how many people might need such an application - the immediate target groups that spring to mind are tour groups and football teams
It might be worth adding email support to the application also

I have an idea for a slight variation: a way for people to remind themselves about things they need to do.
Let people specify a message, and a datetime that that message should be sent to them. Or let them specify recurring tasks like on day x of each month/quarter/year etc. Let people specify that the message should be sent again every day or week until the app receives notification that whatever needs to be done has been done. Such notification of completion could be achieved by the person replying to the SMS. Perhaps that way you could earn a couple of cents for each reminder reply, maybe enough to make it a free service at that level.
I, for example, have a load of boring tasks that I have to do once a month, once a quarter, or once a year. Like taxes. A reminder that told me each time something was due, and then pestered me once a day until I'd done it (because I inevitably procrastinate on boring tasks), would be great.
Jagira, Wanna spin off a differently branded app called something like CameHomeSafe? I want to target working parents with a product that schedules reminders for their children to answer the question: "Did you you come home safe?" and you already have the functionality with this app. Initially, this was going to be my first app as I am currently learning Rails and this seemed like a simple Twilio-on-Rails exercise. I'm currently based in Houston and I am free for the next 3 months until I move back to UT-Austin for a Masters in Statistics program. I have another startup idea that is a bit harder in functionality that has been my motivation for learning Rails. If you're interested we can talk on skype or first just email me at Basil at my hacker username.

good luck!

I was looking for something to just remind me of something at a given time.
I'm currently using it to remind myself of things to bake on Saturdays, but I've used it for a lot more than that.
Right now you enter in What, and when, then it emails you at that time.
I've been meaning to add recurring tasks, and I like the idea of "nagging tasks"
