Reviews for Messages – SMS Texting App

Giles Jaite

way too many ads and they constantly play every time just about I go into messenger and I'm in a hurry to send a message and I can't because of their stupid ads. I was already mad that they forced me to put this on my phone. especially when my old messenger work just fine and had no ads.

I have been using this app for a couple weeks and had no idea that loved ones had sent me photos because they never came through. I've been a Google Play Pass member for many years and was really counting on this. I'm uninstalling it as soon as I find a different one.

Excellent SMS application and operates well on Android versions including Android 6. I am certain the application will serve a broad spectrum of users. Surprisingly it allows settings of standard international languages during launching. Even though KINDLY KEEP GOOGLE STORE APP ADVERTS MINIMAL. Thanks to the developers and will keep you informed on further observations based on my future experience while using the application.

Great app. I uninstalled it when I saw the price for premium! Tried the premium version. Don't waste your money. It's glitchy. couldn't send pictures while I was in a voice conversation could receive pics when in s conversation. This app is a hot mess.

$9.99 PER WEEK for no ads? That's insane! I was ready to subscribe until I saw that and I get too many texts to deal with ads. It's a real shame, the app is almost perfect. The fact that you think nearly $500 per year is a fair price for an app is ludicrous.

So far it's pretty similar to messages+, which I like, but it's riddled with ads, which I hate. I don't want to have to close an ad Everytime I open a text message. This is ridiculous. I miss message+. Edit: Was originally three stars, but the ads are relentless. I can't open the app without 10,000 ads popping up before I even get to my text messages. Verizon sucks for getting rid of message+. I actually dred opening this app because of how many ads there are.

It just so happens I have just downloaded the app, with the utmost caution that is. So far so good; its nice being able to control font and color along with the dark mode and the recieved pop up notification. The only CON I had wasnot being able edit whether you want your messages to display the received, sent, delivered, read, and the 'typing' feature.

Update: I am unable to send picture messages, so I took a star off my rating. Guess I need to go back to Google messages until this issue is fixed. I downloaded this app because Google Messages is so basic and missing a lot of features from Verizon Messages+. I like it so far, but there needs to be an option to bookmark individual messages from people. I like how I can customize colors, and the font matches what's on my phone.

This app was working great for about a day and a half. I didn't get any ads because of my Google Play Pass. I didn't realize it had ads until I downloaded it on my mom's phone for her. She could barely use the app with all the constant popups. Now I'm having issues with the app not sending my messages. If I can't send messages, am I receiving messages? I'm deleting the app and looking for a better option. I can't have something that's inconsistent when it comes to communication!

super egregious ads, and a subscription plan far, far, far more expensive that what it's worth. an SMS app should not cost me as much as a Netflix/Hulu subscription. $14.99 each month just to send SMS messages without ads is ridiculous. Also, ads should not take up the entire screen, making it so the user might accidentally click on them without knowing it was an ad.
