This is definitely a great app to continue the feel of the Trek total launcher theme. The only issue I have is that it keeps a tally of messages. Even when I have read everything it tells me I have 172 unread messages and it keeps growing. I can't seem to get it to recognize that all the messages have been read.
Reviews for TREK: T.I. SMS
← Back to TREK: T.I. SMSSo, I do love the look of this, but I wll echo someone else's complaint that the bottom Home/ Back buttons disappearing is annoying. More importantly, it seems that as soon as I started using this app, my family could see my txts to our group chat, but i couldn't see their txts. i don't know enough tech these days to understand why, but if i'm given direction, i'd be happy to help.
Gosh, I love where this app is going, but it's not quite there. There are a lot of bugs. 1. If you choose a phone font, text in settings gets cut off and buttons move out of alignment. 2. For Samsung Note 20, hovering the s-pen over message threads makes horrible constant noises. 3. Gesture nav buttons overlay the interface, hide, and are hard to get up. 4. The classic LCARS font is illegible for message text but it would be great to keep it on menus for the complete look. Please don't give up!
Dude, this app is almost perfect. But it's making my nav buttons disappear from the bottom of the screen. So everytime I have to go back between texts or back to my home screen I have to swipe up from the bottom first. I saw the response... Changing my review to 5 stars. I really don't like that solution. But I like you, and your ridiculously quick response time. You care about your product and it shows. maybe you could add a selector in settings to bring the buttons back in a future release.
The app looks and sound great! But when I go back to home screen and press the SMS button it changes to default in order for me to use the app. I have to go to play store and open it. Can you please fix this. And when I try to use my phone installed SMS it tells me I need to choose IT as a default in order to send a text.
Can't get it to work! Every time messenger comes up instead! I've Uninstaller cleaned my phone reinstalled, gone through permissions, 4 hours spent trying to fix it!!!! Maybe the developer would be nice enough to help me, it worked when I first downloaded everything, star trek t.i. large, comm, sounds, and sms....what am I doing wrong please....
Been using it for years, but today the app crashes when I open it, I have tried restarting my phone, I even uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, it will still crash. Update: 5 stars, they were able to help me get the app working again. Now my Star Trek theme phone is completed again!
Edit 2: I did that as well as uninstalling and reinstalling. It still hangs and crashes on initial msg sync. I also sent an email to the support email listed here. Used to use this on my Galaxy S10 and I recently upgraded to an S21 but the app no longer works. It won't import my messages during the initial app opening and just hangs and crashes. The bar stops at around .5% and then the app crashes.
The app aesthetics are on point. if there were no issues, i wind give this app 5*. however, the app would recieve late text messages or they would not come in at all. the only way i found to receive new messages was to resync the database every time which is time consuming and the constant beeping is extremely annoying. i want to love this app, but i just can't until the sync issues are fixed
This app is a great companion to the LCARS interface for the rest of the phone. My biggest complaint though is that I get a ton of spam messages with it that the built-in Android SMS app normally blocked. I wish it could use the built-in SMS spam blocking functionality without the need to download and install yet another app to do that.
Very excited but unfortunately for me it is not working on my s24+, open it and set as default and it is immediately laggy and freezes. Looks like it works for most tho! I'll try again down the road and update review if it starts working.
The app is great when it works but, it does have issues. It gets locked up kind of often especially if switching to it from doing something else like, when you see a text notification in the middle of watching a video. Otherwise its "cool" but there are some times I just need to do a reply and have to wait for the thing to relax.
Won't let me update- ah, I had installed this from the Amazon app store that's why. I switched it to the Google Play store version and it updated. Thanks. Maybe you should update the version in the Amazon app store as well? Because that one was not showing any available update. OK, the play store version keeps getting replaced by the amazon, that worries me with the impending closure of the Amazon store.
4/5 only until I can figure out how to fix the problem I am having, then it will go back up to a 5. When someone sends me an MMS like a video or picture or something, it doesn't show up in my TREK SMS. I have to force stop the app and then wait for the messages to sync, which takes quite a while before I can see what came through.
I've had this app for over a year and it's never worked. I've been informed on the camera update as well as clearing cache and data but it always launches, tries to sync messages and then crashes. I boot it up here and there hoping it has been fixed but no luck. The rest of his apps are fantastic! I just wish I could use this one.
I love this app and it worked great for over a year. Now it won't open the normal way (clicking on the app in the comms screen, or through "all apps"). The only way I can get to it is from a notification, directly opening a specific message. If I try to back out of the message, it just closes. In all cases I get the "this app keeps closing" message. I'm going to test if it's a battery saver problem Edit: It wasn't a battery optimization problem. Trek SMS was already unrestricted Edit: ty friend
Love the look of it, sends WAY quicker than my stock Google messages app, however it NEVER sends MMS. Pics, audio, video all fail to send, and when I hit resend, it doubles the message and still fails. I have to go back and use Messages to send pics and stuff. If that was fixed, it would be 5 stars for sure! Update: It won't let you respond to, or start group texts either. Would really like to be able to fully commit to this SMS app. But I'm probably going to have to abandon it if the issues aren't fixed :(
It's a really cool-looking app and I like most of the stuff in it but my biggest problem right now is the fact that it's not sending or receiving read receipts. The only thing that seems to show up is the delivery confirmation but that does not mean that the person read the other text message or that they are able to see that I read their text message. Also there's issues sending gifs and no ability to send audio messages.
It's very beautiful. However on my pixel it seems to struggle sending photos / gets stuck "sending" sometimes the receiver will still get the photos, but they still say sending. I've deleted every message from stock / TrekSMS and re-sync'd with mild success, but it quickly failed again. I can not have a texting app fail to send texts. Edit, 3 stars was too harsh, and the developer is still active.
Absolutley great. Although the button sounds for a key press get a little annoying when typing a long text, however I usually just wear headphones and deal with it so people don't complain around me. I would say disable the button noises for typing. Also, I'd like to be able to send videos and not just pictures. That was quite confusing to find out it wasn't an option.
