  • Just downloaded the paid version. This is very nice!! I switched over from Handcent after they developed some issues after the last update. I’m so pleased with this I don’t know what to do. Keep up the good work and please continue to upgrade. Hope my .99 helps.

  • Trying it on my Razr M. Pretty straightforward & cuts out a few extra swipes. Of course MMS support will make it worth while.

  • It’s actually really nice. I never liked using third-party SMS apps, but this one is an exception. I wish more apps would take advantage of sliding from the screen’s edges (much like Ubuntu is doing with their OS).

    I’m surprised that Facebook hasn’t even implemented opening their left-side menu with a slide as on iOS.

  • The demo-video is just constantly blurred out for “privacy” reasons. You can’t even see the thing. They REALLY couldn’t make a demo-video with test info???? Sheezess. Very poorly done.

  • I’m running cyanogen 10.1 on my SGS3, I LOVE this UI but it’s a little slow when launching it, and no mms 🙁 I’ll keep it installed and await updates.

  • Gave it a try, way too many force closes on the GS3. Seems like its pretty good once the support is better.

  • Using my N4 it’s very laggy & buggy.

    Though I bought the paid version to support the Dev so hopefully the bugs will get addressed ASAP.

    Until then, going back to Chomp.

  • Great app. Easy to use great design. Its brand new and getting new updates often so im sure the mms support will be worked in soon.

  • checking it out and keeping it installed regardless of how it is so I can keep track of updates. great concept and will get better once MMS is implemented.

  • This definitely has the “WOW” factor. The only problem, (besides the known MMS, and G Voice issue), is when I have a shortcut on my home screen for a direct message, and I select it, it doesn’t automatically go to that contact in the app. That is a deal breaker for me. Has so much potential though!!

  • The UI doesn’t make sense in the respect that the title bar previews the names of other threads. This leads the user to believe they can swipe left or right to switch conversations, when they can’t. Left takes you to the master thread list, right takes you to new compose.

    In addition to this, for some odd reason there is still a new compose button in the action bar. So either the button or swiping right is now redundant, your choice.

    • you need to enable quick paging in order to be able to swipe between contacts (using that blue bar)

    • Good thing you didn’t know how to work it. I was trying to figure out if there was a master thread list and how to get to it! I didn’t think of swiping from the edge of the screen… I really like this now.

    • If you don’t swipe from the very edge you can indeed swipe between conversations. Only grabbing the lip seems to bring up the compose screen

  • I haven’t used an alternative text app since my OG Droid days. But THIS, I like. As soon as there is mms support and it proves to be reliable, I’m in.

  • This app is great! My only complain it no MMS and when I enable emojis, the first few rows are all the little android dude. Is there anyway to change that?

  • Unfortunately not compatible with any of my devices. Would love to see a video of it in action.

  • My friend that lives just down the street made this app all by himself! We attend the University of Iowa together

      • I’m sorry to hear that. If you contact him with your model, android version, and possibly a crash report he is very responsive and will help you as soon as he can

        • Right. Noticed that he was happy to get feedback on email. Just mailed him the basic details. Would provide whatever info he wants to get this fixed. Saw another review from a user of Galaxy Nexus but the Verizon edition with a similar problem. Thanks.

    • You should tell him to get in talks with CyanogenMod and see if they could implement this into cm or is this app open source?

      • Will do, we go back to school this Tuesday so development will probably slow down but he is very open to new ideas

    • Yo, tell your friend that there are a lot of people who are going to give this a real shot as soon as it gets MMS support.

      Hell, I’ve got it installed already. It’s just not going to get to do anything.

    • Iowa represent! I used to live in Iowa City. 20 minutes away. Awesome! I’m downloading now just for that. lol

    • great app! I really do love it. However the lag issues when opening are really turning me away. Idk if that’s something that is easily fixed but should definitely be addressed. But again this is the coolest sms app to date.

    • Hey, your friend did a great job on the app! 1 thing I’ve noticed, is that when you set the ringtone to be used and then press Ok, the app quits instead of going back 1 step to the settings page

  • I find it hard to tab between threads. Sometimes it starts a new text, sometimes it takes me to my list of threads, sometimes it does what I want. fantastic concept though, hope all the kinks get worked out soon!

    • Swiping from the edges of the screen will open the message list or the new message tab. swiping in the center of the screen will switch between conversations.

    • Yar. At this point, the only reason I’m using Handcent is because I use SwiftKey and emoji support for stock Messaging is nil. A pretty app like that which will allow me to use emoji and doesn’t have a million bells and whistles that I don’t care about?

      Yes and please and thank you.

    • If you think Rita`s story is terrific,, 2 weeks ago my mum worked and
      got paid $5159 working a seventeen hour week from there house and their
      buddy’s mother`s neighbour did this for three months and actually
      earned over $5159 part time from a laptop. apply the guide from this
      web-site… jump15.comCHECK IT OUT

  • Yeah, I definitely think they should use this design, when Google combines Google Talk, SMS, and Google+ Messenger. That would make a sweet iMessage competitor. I’m hoping for it in KLP.

    • Half the time I talk to someone about leaving their iPhone for Android, one of their top reasons is iMessage and how it is unified with the text messaging app, if Google were to combine everything, or at least give the option, which should be simple enough, it would be yet another plus for Android as a whole. It would help people feel like they are moving to an OS that is more unified as well as customizable than IOS.

  • I’m not against trying out new things, so I’ll give it a whirl and see what happens. It does look pretty cool.

    But I’ll probably still continue to use GO SMS Pro though.
