This free messaging app gives you so many extra options than other message apps. I love the fact that you can schedule text messages, and you can archive messages without having to delete them. The stickers that are available are both free and some you pay to download. So far, I've not found anything negative to say about this app. Highly recommend!!
Reviews for Smart Messages
What I don't like: I just wish that the pop-up messages were bubbles and I wish that when you touch a quick reply, that it would just send the message instead of having to hit the enter key as well; Would be faster. They need to add more option for quick reply. Other than that, this app is great. You do need to get others to download and use the app kinda like Android Messages. This app does have more customization.
The app is very slow for an SMS app. It has some features I like, but the ad banner slows the app's speed. It gives an error message about recipients then freezes, nearly daily. Freezes daily. New messages come in as notifications and show in my notification bar, but do not show in the actually conversation chat. Get delayed message messages fairly commonly... but most of the time, the message actually went through, which is confusing and frustrating. Lots of spam texts.. Looking for a new app!!
My original messaging site quit taking dictation and this one works really well for that. But it hangs up a lot of the time and does various other things that I find are hard to work around. Sending messages to multiple recipients is hard, it only posts recent people in a quick directory so it's hard to find an address to send something to without going into a different application and clicking message in there. There's several enhancements that I would suggest to the developers of this site.
I "want" to like this app. It seems to have the basics, and that's all I was looking for after Verizon forcing us off Messages+. Ads not invasive. I was able to customize fields indicated (wallpaper, bubble colors, font size, (didn't see font style) etc. I tried testing with an out-of-state friend. Msgs sent back and forth worked. Sending (very short) audio clip worked. Sending a photo worked, but.....Would NOT send a video clip that was only 10 seconds long. And phone now freezing and crashing
Constantly freezing and crashing. I have checked for and installed updates. I have uninstalled and re installed the app. The ads are annoying. It's not very customizable. The one and only reason I downloaded this app was because it supports group texts of more than ten people, which I need for work. But I'm lucky if I get through a few words before it freezes and or crashes.
I downloaded this app and I'm really enjoying how fast it worked ,even with messaging and sending pictures. the only gripe that I have so far is that when I want to forward something, to a chat room it doesn't show the chat .I actually have to put in the number each time, and the name that's kind of frustrating, but besides that I'm really enjoying this app . if they can fix that situation where if I want to forward a picture and just instantly go to the group chat ,that would be great.
All right. This app is pretty good, but I had a few bugs. It wouldn't keep all of the messages I sent, and sometimes it would show me as in a group chat with the person I was talking to. Also, there didnt seem to actually be AI spam detection, which was one of the reasons why I got it. But I imagine it is probably pretty secure (which was reason #1)! Another downside was you couldn't react with emojis to a message, but I know that's not exactly a need.
This app is still lacking some key features and still has a lot of bugs. For example, sharing from an external app, there is no way to send to a group with a single click like the competition. An example of a bug is you send an image but that image doesn't show as part of the thread until the app is force killed. I purchased an annual subscription thinking that it has potential, but cancelled not long after since I couldn't stand the bugs.
Great App. Very basic. If you are looking for a simple messaging app, this is it. Moved over your existing texts. Some advertising texts, but not a lot. No annoying ad videos. Settings allow you to choose font, font size, notifications, background and color of bubbles etc. I tried many. Love this one for its simplicity.
