Comments on Simple SMS Messenger for Android

★★★★★ Lakshman · Oct 13, 2026
It's so simple. SMS apps should be like this without unecessary clutter. Promptly bought paid version. Edit. It looks like premium is gone
★★★★★ Sitla Sitla · Sep 1, 2026
As the name implies, simple messenger. Quick to load messages and one of the best features is differentiating between messages from two numbers, as their respective numbers marked separately.
★★★★★ Tommy Paul · Sep 6, 2026
Easy to use without hurrying about accidently sending little icons.
★★★★★ MD Mustafa Khan · Sep 10, 2026

★☆☆☆☆ Martin Gibbs · Sep 19, 2026
WARNING!! DO NOT INSTALL I installed this app gave it permissions, it took over my phone. It changed Everything. My phone was instantly infected with 72 viruses. It was nearly impossible to get it removed from phone I could not find my phone settings. The only thing I could find was app settings. I could not remove. Could not uninstall, I played hell. I finally got into my phone settings, forced stop on it and removed all of its permissions, so I could uninstall. TOTAL NIGHTMARE!
★☆☆☆☆ C Johnston · Sep 19, 2026
There are so many ads in this app that it is almost unusable unless you want to waste a lot of time viewing ads in between every text you send.
★☆☆☆☆ Prashanth Ch · Sep 27, 2026
U have to scroll and find any number to send sms. Awesome isn't it. If u type any number, this won't even search, and I am seeing 4+ ratings. Wow
★☆☆☆☆ Maximus Jones (Max) · Sep 12, 2026
Too much is locked behind paywall. I can find better messaging apps, so much for Simple.
