Ienjoy messages forAnddroid looking forward using for many years so thanking for letting me....!

★★★★★ Linda Ammon · Jul 19, 2026

Switching from AT&T to this messengers' application has been very valuable. Friends on my phone list get a banner flash message, I as well. It gets my immediate attention. I use it several times a day to interact.

★★★★★ Zakary Durdle · Jul 18, 2026

I loved this txt as message for Android this is what I liked more

★★★★★ Dennis Greer · Jul 29, 2026

Great! Very simple to install not complicated for senior citizens. App didn't crash.

★☆☆☆☆ Jeny Feldner · Jul 16, 2026

I can't receive important group texts from my boss or pictures she sends me from her phone! I also hate the constant ads that come with it or that when my phone calls end it switches to the messenger app, and I can't click out of it the same way as I usually do because of the stupid ads. This app has made my live more difficult, and I hate it. I wish my provider didn't make me switch since the old one as discontinued.

★☆☆☆☆ Novella Keith · Aug 5, 2026

Since accidentally downloading this app along with the Google Messages app, to replace the Samsung app, I've gotten lots on unwanted ads including 3 fake ones that my phone had been hacked. I don't trust it, and I'm deleting it. Besides, why should put up with the ads and in-app purchases when I don't have to?

★☆☆☆☆ Josh Mirfield · Aug 10, 2026

The ads are outrageous when I open it I have to wait for the ads to load then I have to try to back out of them to get to my messages witch I can't see half of them I still can't send any type of pictures I wouldn't use this app but Samsung messaging is no longer an option, so now I use fb messenger its absolutely annoying and frustrating

★★☆☆☆ Marilyn Palmer · Aug 5, 2026

I love the app, but it doesn't give me any sound when I get a text message from someone and I need it for work, so I may have to switch to another message app.
