After the Verizon texting app closed, I needed to find a new app. When I found this app, all the features included inside were amazing; privacy, along with the ease of access to changing the appearance of contacts. I gave it four stars, however, because of two reasons; when I take pictures (from app) portrait, it automatically sets to landscape. I also dislike that if you want to call someone, instead of just clicking on the phone icon, you'd have to click it twice. It'd help if this gets fixed.

Overall it's a nice texting service. it's not too cluttered and you can change the message text size. it does provide for a pop-up but it could really use a true pop-up message over device lock screen that stays until you cancel it (like Verizo.. message +). You do receive a notification which is usually followed by a message saying that you received a notification which can't be turned off. You can change the background colors or add themes you can share images, videos and phone call.

I "want" to like this app. It seems to have the basics, and that's all I was looking for after Verizon forcing us off Messages+. Ads not invasive. I was able to customize fields indicated (wallpaper, bubble colors, font size, (didn't see font style) etc. I tried testing with an out-of-state friend. Msgs sent back and forth worked. Sending (very short) audio clip worked. Sending a photo worked, but.....Would NOT send a video clip that was only 10 seconds long. And phone now freezing and crashing
