Latest "bug fixes and stability improvements" neither fixes bugs nor improves stability. Once you have a version that works, don't update because it's a roll of the dice as to what's going to break. Clearly they can't be putting much effort into it because the team is too lazy to even give a description as to what's changed from one version to the next. I just assume that nothing has changed as description is always the same.

I just got a new phone which installed this app with it. It made it so I couldn't send any sms messages at all! I could still receive sms (about 10-15 minutes later than they actually sent it) but I could not send. After a few hours of digging I came to the conclusion that this app is what was causing me problems. I uninstalled it and my sms messages IMMEDIATELY started working again so I know for 100% that this app was at fault. I'd give O stars if I could! Glad to have it gone.

Look at it's permissions, very intrusive spyware. You have no control over this. You cannot disable it. For me, it constantly tries to connect to a carrier different from the one I have, takes over the phone and freezes it for 6 minutes, during this I can't even use my phone! I'm on day 2 now of it freezing my phone like this every few hours, for 6 minutes, all because I did a reboot. I go through this each time I do a reboot. Google needs to get it's act together.
