Comments on Color SMS: Message & Messenger for Android

★★★★☆ Michele Shultz · Jul 31, 2026

I like it so far except it won't let me take a screenshot. Not good. Just started checking it out so not sure if there are any other issues. Not sure if it backs up my messages yet. I noticed this is international app. What country developed this app please? Update as of July 27th when phone had an update this app which I use the paid version has started using nearly all my cpu its gone up to 94.8 percent of CPU usage n it is draining my battery. It worked great until after update.

★★★★☆ Victoris Severine Kiwango (Programmer) · Aug 2, 2026

It has good features and is easy to use. I recommend this app if you are looking for an alternative to your phone's built-in SMS app.

★★★★☆ Liliana Hernandez · Jul 23, 2026

Since the samsung messages is being deactivated this sms app is the best replacement, and I love it so far! -the only thing that need update is to click on multiple photos to send

★☆☆☆☆ Alex Salazar · Jul 15, 2026

Update 7/15/26 - Upon switching back and forth between this messaging app and the default one, the default works absolutely fine and yours rejects messages. 🙄 Used to love this app, but I've just recently received feedback about people getting "message failed" or "message not delivered" texts. Even from someone who was in the same room as me- it seemed like only half their messages were being sent through to me. I even missed an important message from a client. Please fix lol

★☆☆☆☆ mino inthesea · Jul 24, 2026

This is BS. I got this as a replacement for Samsung Messages so that creepy Google Messages doesn't hold every message I send/receive along with tons of other data it doesn't need. Overall, it functions ok, but I can't send pics or GIFs. Checked settings & ensured carrier limit for msgs was removed, app is updated, but it didn't help. When someone else sends me a GIF, the following text-only msgs I send do not go through & have to be resent.

★★☆☆☆ Kris h · Jul 19, 2026

Cute features and customization. Can't send any pictures though. Plain text is slow to send. I am looking for a new messaging app.
