Comments on Pulse SMS (Phone/Tablet/Web) for Android

★★★★☆ Damien Tillman · Jul 28, 2026
Better than Google messaging at the moment.
★★★★★ Courtney · Aug 19, 2026
I have been using this for years. It is a great replacement. I only wish I could respond to messages with likes, etc. like iOS
★★★★★ Butch Garst · Aug 19, 2026
I had to replace Samsung Messages and this is the only app similar! The folder option and multiple pin contacts are the best features similar to Samsung! If you miss Samsung Messages this is your new go to messaging app - just get it!
★★★★★ Gracie Bishop · Oct 18, 2026
I've enjoyed using this app. It has been very helpful in keeping things organized and the private text feature is wonderful.
★☆☆☆☆ RusticCitrus · Oct 4, 2026
Edit: I am needing to change my review from a 5/5 to a 1/5. I want to stress that this app used to be wonderful and worked as intended. However, since the major companies have updated their technology to allow for RCS, this app no longer knows how to receive text messages in group chats. I have just found out I've missed countless text messages over the year or so here. 1/5 due to its usability. If the developer updates Pulse to support RCS, my review will be updated back to a 5/5.
★☆☆☆☆ Rob Pennell · Oct 30, 2026
Missed texts. Does not always send texts. After update, still does receive all texts. Can't access my account data, can't connect to desktop, and no text message forwarding implementation. Avoid at all costs.

Pulse SMS is a seriously beautiful, next-generation, private text messaging app.

We care deeply about your experience with the app, and are committed to creating the best SMS texting app.

To round out its best-in-class phone app, Pulse SMS re-imagines your communication by giving you the ability to sync your SMS and MMS messages across all of your devices. Send and receive texts and pictures—seamlessly—from your computer, tablet, car, or any device with an internet connection.

This is text messaging, done right.

---------

A Taste of the Features
Pulse SMS is jam packed with features. On top of syncing between all of your devices, here is a small taste of what makes it the ultimate text messaging experience:
- Unparalleled design and fluid animations
- Endless global and per-conversation customization options
- Suggested Smart Replies within conversations
- Password protected, private text conversations
- Share GIFs with your messages, from Giphy
- Powerful searching through messages and conversations
- Automatic message backup and restore with a Pulse SMS account*
- Preview web links
- Blacklist pesky spammers
- Delayed sending to give you time to edit or cancel messages you send
- Automated replies based on contacts, keywords, and driving/vacation modes
- Dual-SIM support

Encryption Protocol
First and foremost, all of your conversations are stored in end-to-end encryption. You never have to worry about your data leaking out and no one can see your messages except for you, not even the Pulse SMS Team! With Pulse SMS, you get privacy and peace of mind, right out of the box.

Privacy Protection Proof
In technical terms, we use PBKDF2 to encrypt your password and use it as a key to encrypt messages and conversations.

Technical Encryption Overview

1) When an account is created, we generate two salts. One to use with authentication and one for end-to-end encryption.

2) The one that we use with login is straight-forward and normal. We store a version of your password, hashed against the first salt, and authenticate you against this hash.

3) For the encryption, we hash your password against salt #2 and store it locally on your device (computer/tablet/phone). Having this key is the only way that you can decrypt messages. Since no one else has the password that was hashed against the second salt, no one else will be able to decrypt anything.

We share our privacy protocol publicly so our users have peace of mind knowing their password is never stored anywhere and without that password, there is no way to create the secret key used for encrypting and decrypting the content stored in the backend.

*Backups and registered user accounts for all users (free users, subscribers, one time purchases) are deleted after 60 days of inactivity.

Supported Platforms
Pulse SMS has a web app that you can use. It also has native apps for tablets, MacOS, Windows, Google Chrome, Firefox, Linux, and even Android TV. Check out all of our platforms, along with screenshots, here: https://home.pulsesms.app/overview/

-------

Pulse SMS is the premier web, computer, and private texting application on Android. Everything is instant, setup is a breeze, and it's design is unlike anything you have ever seen.
