Comments on TextU - Private SMS Messenger for Android

★★★★★ Almost 5 but, I can't find the chat heads. Why is that? Please notice me I really want to have chat heads but no chat heads is showing.
★★★★★ I hate the stock calling and messaging app on my Oppo phone which is green with a white font that makes it really hard to read. I've tried 8 dialer and 17 SMS/MMS apps but I always seem to find some fault with them. Then I found this, tried it for 5 days now and this seems to be the one. I have 2 phones, one offline just for calling and texting an another for connecting to the net. I installed this app on my offline phone and it does what I wanted and more. Best features for me are: 1. consolidated call and text in one app 2. no lags in sending and receiving messages that supports dual SIMs 3. default color contrast makes reading messages easy 4. has a message archive for those really important messages 5. messages can be pinned on top of your inbox so it will always be displayed first 6. phone's offline so NO ADS (sorry developers, hehehe). For those who want no ads on their online phones, buy this app. Developers need to eat too, you know. 7. can record, add and merge calls 8. able to do batch delete of SMS and MMS 9. logs differentiate dialed, received and missed calls and can be cleared, individually or by batch 10. my likes list is getting too long For those complaining about private messages getting seen or private numbers displaying, you're doing something illegal or immoral. Or those who say this app forces you to do something, you're way smarter than that. If you don't like the app, give an objective review so the developers can improve their product and look for something else. Do not be frustrated with an app you don't know how to customize.
★★★★★ This app is great but just too expensive. You can either charge expensively lifetime option, or lower monthly payments.
★★★★★ Very good ! IT blocked numbers and was EASY TO UNDERSTAND!/SECURE ALSO AND I DIDNT USE ALL THE FEATURES!!
★★☆☆☆ Received Pictures No Longer Save! I click save to save a picture sent to me and it says saved and open directory. But when you click the link to open, it does nothing. I have to screenshot any received pictures.
★★☆☆☆ Theres no delivered/seen/typing indicators. I dont like the way the main page looks, the bottom buttons and contact bubbles look so bad. I dont like how the background is blurred even though i didnt want that. I wish it was more customizable like being able to make your own theme with your own gif or photo, choose/make your own bubbles or just use colors. Each chat could have its own theme WITH ITS OWN BUBBLES AND WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE OTHER THEME BEHIND IT.
★★☆☆☆ Bilkul hi ghatiya aap bnaane waala usse bhi jada ghatiya hoga 😡😡😡😡
★★☆☆☆ After downloading this app two apps will come in your mobile One of them will be APA and the other will not be named Private car private sms cannot be done from this app Don't want to have two app
