Used to be the best text messaging app on the market until it stopped sending pics about a month ago. Messaged support and was told to check back in a couple days and look for an update. Almost 2 weeks later, there’s been an update, but it didn’t fix the problem. Went back to my […]

I’ve used this app for several years now. It used to work amazing and I preferred it over any other messaging platform. Now it just seems to be full of bugs and issues. The last year has been frustrating with missing messages, notifications not appearing, issues sending media, and lots of other annoying issues. My […]
Fabtastic app! I initially got it for the delayed texting but have decided to keep it because of its superb windows program that allows for texting from your computer. “Messages” by Microsoft allows for the same but it’s unreliable and delayed. Pulse is instantaneous and reliable. All around just a great SMS app. Update: went […]
I’ve been using the app for 6 years and have loved it. Recently, when texting from a PC, some texts *appear* to have been sent, but the phone app doesn’t show them at all; they are just “silently” not sent. I unsuccessfully tried all the troubleshooting options including resyncing the device and my account. Support […]
The app is very good. I’ve been using it for some years now. I especially like the forward and back arrows where you can position the cursor wherever you want easily. Also like that you can slide your fingers to spell out the words. And it does pretty good at knowing the correct word. When […]
I used the free app for years and finally bought the full app when I was offered a half-price ad. That’s when my problems started. Calls get messed up. Sometimes, my phone will ring, but no app appears to allow me to answer. And sometimes, some of those calls aren’t even in the call log. […]
Been using Pulse for years with good results. Updated it recently and now it won’t sync with my web browser. When I click on a message, it just spins and won’t load the message. Tried resyncing messages, but that didn’t solve it. Tried reinstalling app. That didn’t solve it either. Hope they get it sorted […]
Update: Very fast response to fix issue. Returning favorable review. Will update if anything changes. Old: Used to have a five star review. Changing after I started receiving ads even though I’ve had premium for years. I ignored the first one in case it was a fluke, but I’ve seen them repeatedly for a week […]
I’ve been using pulse for about a year and a 1/2. I’ve been a paid user for almost as long, and I find the service to be absolutely essential. The ability to send links as quick links, the ability to save and send pre-written texts, the incredible degrees of customization and, of course, the ability […]
A lot of features to like, but still a few bugs to work out. When composing a text, if you get interrupted by a phone call, email, or other notification, the content of the draft disappears…which is highly annoying. With the stock messages program on Android, the drafts automatically get saved (and indefinitely), but not […]
the app repeatedly does not notify me of new text messages. I missed so many messages because notifications don’t come through. this is not an issue with my phone as I don’t have the same problem with the native app. I even tried “upgrading” to the paid version and it did nothing to fix the […]
This app used to be one of the best, and now it’s one of the worst. For some unknown reason, I’m unable to send any SMS, jifs, or include any pictures with my messages. in addition, I’m being charged for 3 separate post subscriptions for the same phone. I don’t even understand why each one […]
9/30/2025 down to 1 star, app just keeps getting worse, finally switching off it since it’s pretty much useless 3/31/2023 down to 2 stars. Have used this for quite awhile with only an occasional issue. I’ve the last couple of months it’s been constant issues. The most recent being that I’ll get a notification that […]
Removed a star because the app got more expensive for really no extra benefit to the people who use it. The original creator sold this to maple media and they increased the prices quite a bit. Still a great app, but cannot in good conscious keep the 5th star. edit: went down another star. I […]
my email address was compromised and I’ve tried to get my subscription moved to new address and it took a few weeks wrestling with support and i thought they had finally got it down, but I’m back in the free version about 6 months short of my paid annual subscription end date. I’m canceling forever. […]
I have used this app for years and generally really like it. The biggest thing I like is the android widget where I can see all my messages on my home screen. However, recently text messages in group texts are not showing up. And people try to send me pics that also don’t show up. […]
Overall, pretty all right. My only complaint is that when you start a text conversation with somebody, and then edit the name of that person (sometimes you learn somebody’s last name after you’ve known him for a while), the name in the pulse app stays the same; it doesn’t update your contact’s name. The only […]
Only been using Pulse a few days, but it’s an outstanding app!! When Android quit supporting it’s Messages app, I went to Google Messages. Unhappy with it. Sometimes it would not send out my texts. Plus, when someone would respond to my texts with a thumbs up, the icon was so small it was easy […]
I used Pulse because it was simple with no frills. Now, was forced to upgrade even though I had no issues with the original. New version adds unnecessary clutter that can’t be turned off. Editing to add: Even worse. Now I’m getting a daily prompt to upgrade to a paid $100 version of this app […]
It works pretty well but there are a few glitches that would be helpful to fix. 1) setting up group texts between multiple people in your contacts works well, but adding a manually entered phone number can be tricky. The only way it seems to accept it is if I put a semicolon after the […]
