Ratings and reviews

This is not a great app for viewing old messages. Once you try to scroll back past 30 or so messages it pops up a "loading" window that stays up for quite some time as the system very slowly retrieves another 100 or so messages. It's also not very configurable. This app does seem to work well though for people who use the Verizon network and are having issues with other texting apps receiving MMS images that are extremely blurry. I've yet to encounter that problem with this app.

The Message+ app stopped working on my Pixel 6a phone 5/17/2024. It says "cannot compose message. Message+ is not your default message app." I have it set as my default message app and sending messages is disabled on the app and I do not know how to get this feature back on. I have contacted Tech Support and they were not any help. This is the only text app I have used the entire 11yrs I've had Verizon services. So disappointing and frustrating

The app started out great but now it has become glitchy and doesn't show who the contact is anymore. They also keep removing features. I used it for years but with how many features they have removed and how many bugs it is getting it isn't worth using anymore. Used to let you schedule a message to be sent at a later time. They removed that feature. They stated they won't let you send pictures and videos through it soon as well. Good app thar became garbage.
