Comments on Messages — No RCS, Clean SMS for Android

★★★★★ Anubhav Gautam · Aug 13, 2026
Hey Dev! You’ve made a great alternative for people who want a simple text messaging app. It’s really lightweight and clean. I have a few suggestions, if you’re open to implementing them: 1. Pitch-black theme — preferably without Material You, for users who prefer a true AMOLED-friendly black theme. 2. Accent color option — allowing users to choose their preferred accent color would be a nice customization option. 3. Alternative app logo — the current logo feels quite basic; a more polished.
★★★★★ Norman Mills · Aug 12, 2026
This is EXACTLY what I want! Even if SMS is less capable than RCS, I don't need or want the capabilities of RCS. But RCS isn't the end-game, and I definitely don't need or want the capabilities of RBM on my phone. May I, however, suggest a more distinctive and descriptive name for the app? Let's add another acronym. How about calling it Messages by UH (Unsung Hero)? There, that works for me!
★★★★★ Shane Butler · Sep 17, 2026
BY FAR THE BEST TEXT APP! There are zero ads. Not a single pop up. No hidden fees. Not a single hidden anything. Very smooth, simple, just like it should be..... did I mention free! There is a section in settings you can donate the guy who built and designed this a "coffee". I strongly suggest you do.

This app isn't opening in my phone. It's not working
★★☆☆☆ Lindsay Buck · Sep 23, 2026
Why can't I click on a photo that has been sent to me and bring it up? And does this app show when you've read the messages??
