Use this app if you need to, but don’t download it just for fun. Yes, I have the latest versions of each app.Īt this time, the only reason I haven’t deleted the app altogether is because I’ve recently started to have issues with receiving large media files from folks who do not have iPhones so cannot use iMessages. The entire app feels like it was thrown together in a very short period of time by a development team that was not given appropriate resources to build a great app. It frequently displays the incorrect number of unread messages in the bubble on the app icon. I have the desktop version of this application and it does not talk with the mobile version, which is a very big oversight and needs to be dealt with. I don’t like how it doesn’t play nice with the native messages app (which I still feel like is far superior to any other messages app out there). I certainly consider it a necessary evil. Unfortunately, I don’t have a whole lot of great things to say about this app.
I also don’t tend to write reviews about things I don’t care for, but this application deserves a review. Like most people, I don’t tend to write reviews for things I like. If the glitches were addressed, I would have given 5 stars. And sometimes when I receive texts it will say who the text is from by name, and other times just show the phone number, even if you have been continually texting the same person who is a saved contact. It will shutdown randomly, and then you lose whatever u were going to send in a text, even pics, and have to type it all again. It’s nice to be able to text people without Apple devices from my iPad too. And it is syncing between my phone, iPad and Apple Watch, which wasn’t working as it should thru the regular message app that comes on all these devices. Backgrounds, fonts and text bubble colors. It says sent, delivered, read, and shows when someone is typing u back, just like iMessaging. This app is great for texting those without iMessage. I chose not to turn off the iMessage feature on my phone.
My phone alerts me now thru this app when I get texts, except for iMessages, which is fine. It’s getting to the point where it isn’t notifying my when I gets texts randomly. I really would love to see this work properly, but it needs a lot of work clearly. And at some point, they also need to increase the maximum auto reply character count I would say at least an extra 30 to 40 characters Minimum. Right now there’s a trouble ticket into Verizon, but there has been no resolution as of yet. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app numerous times, and it is still stuck there. Jump ahead to a couple of months ago, the auto reply functionality is stuck in the on position. I have used this functionality for the last couple of years. They really truly need to focus on this on the next update. And even when you do, there’s times where I would back out come back and the lever would be still in the original position. Often times you have to flip the lever a few times to get it to stick.
However, for some reason, it has become extremely finicky when trying to turn it on and off. Truly a blessing for folks that have clients who reach out to you via text over other means. I was truly excited to finally see an app that allows to have auto reply functionality in text messaging.
