Comments on Handcent Anywhere for Android

★★★★☆ Geoffry Miley · Mar 28, 2022
My hand cent sms app disappeared off my phone. I have a Galaxy S10 plus. I've been using this app for over 7 years and never had an issue. I'd like to have it back.
★★★★★ Joseph Scorza · Mar 28, 2022
Temporary work-around: install the (Hand cent) Next SMS widget. Make sure your home screen is not locked. Press any blank spot on your home screen. Select Widgets. Scroll or search for Next SMS. Select it and choose the format you want to add the widget to your home screen. Works to bring the app back without having to reinstall it.
★★★★★ MICHAEL SANCHEZ · Mar 28, 2022
If you are stuck with new app "Messenger Home" Swipe up from bottom of phome screen. Go to your phone settings. System settings. Apps. Scrool down to messanger home. Set home screen to One UI Home. This set my phone back to original home screen settings. Then go back into settings. Apps. Go to Messenger Home app. Uninstall button should now be illuminated to uninstall if it wasn't before.
★☆☆☆☆ Seddy Sed · Aug 8, 2022
I had hand cent on my phone and had to reset it, and it is gone. This is the second time it has happened. I got the gold subscription. If it is not available anymore I should be able to get my money back.
★☆☆☆☆ Ashley Nicole · May 18, 2022
I can't find the hand cent next app anymore and this one won't let me do anything as far as trying to log in
★☆☆☆☆ Carina Casadero- Soto · May 13, 2022
Disappeared again Why is the next sms app gone from the play store again? Will this continues to happen? I really didn't like it when it disappeared last time and I love this app, I haven't found any quite like it. Please fix your issues
