I have read a lot of reviews & everybody's talking about ads in the app? Weird! I have not seen any ads at all! It was hard to get it to work for me at first, but something happened & it kicked in & is working great now. Thank goodness I don't have any ads cuz if there was I wouldn't have the app anymore.

This particular message app seems to provide what is expected. I will be counting on its upkeep 24/7.

I see too many forced ads in messages. They block full or half of my screen all the time and there is no way to close them ! They are extremely annoying as they prevent me from reading important message and responding timely. It also increases load time for message app. I feel terrible. I really need a way to get rid of ads in text message app. I will never buy any product that annoys me so much while doing important tasks. Stop harassing people with ads.

I tried this as an alternative to Google messages since Samsung has discontinued their messaging app. It's got way too many adds and you cant take away any permissions that you don't want the app to have access to (phone and draw over other apps) without it freaking out.

Can't send multiple photos at once they come out blurry, can't open videos and won't play, really ignoring how you get brought into app cause of stupid after call. If you just want to send messages it work fine, but they can shove there ads where the sun don't shine! App is junk in my opinion!!! Makes you watch ad if opening, and after sending a message botom line don't waste your time, if I want to watch ads I'll watch TV... and they really need to add a 0-star rating for this app its trash! NEXT.
