Pros & Cons

SMS/MMS messaging works offline without internet connectivity.
Message scheduling helps you automate texts for timely communication.
Group messaging and pinning keep conversations organized and easily accessible.
Privacy-focused design with a secure messaging experience and a dark-mode UI.

Lacks traditional 'messenger' style chat, conversations, and cross-platform chat ecosystems as seen with some competitors.
No explicit in-app backup/restore capabilities listed in features.
Broader permission set and SMS-centric model may be less appealing to users seeking full-featured, internet-based chat experiences could be perceived as limited compared to multi-platform messengers.

★☆☆☆☆ John Prince · Aug 13, 2026

After a phone call I never expect to see anything to doo with a message. Stop wasting my time and annoyance. What is the perverted point.

★☆☆☆☆ Sean Strong · Aug 12, 2026

I don't like the ad bar aon my screen. it's a major annoyance, and interferes with my navigating on my phone. Also, I can't see when my contact is typing. My original SMS Messenger allowed me to.

★☆☆☆☆ Gary Featherston · Aug 13, 2026
