Ratings and reviews

Update - I have used this app for a few days now thought initially how wonderful it was. Now when saving any photos, it wants me to Grant permissions above and beyond: it wants to access files, all files without my permission and to delete these files without my specific permission. All I want to do is save a picture, and without granting the above, it will not let me. Sorry to say, there is no reason for this. The quest is on for another app.

Update (06/11/24): this app should have similar customization settings as its partner app "Right Messages". (04/05/24): please add option to "always" show time stamps in bubble messages. Also, please consider unlocking one of the other bubble styles for free usage, thereby giving two choices rather than one. Prior review (2023): Would rate 4 or 5 stars except you have to pay to customize bubble chats and use the 'delayed send' function; should be free just like in other messaging apps.

Not ready for Prime Time. This app has so much potential but falls short. I've been using textra for 7 years and ready for something new but I would be sacrificing way too much for this app. #1) No individual conversation mute function is a deal breaker. #2) Custom conversation notification gets deleted when you delete the conversation. Textra remembers this per contact. #3) Can't send voice messages.
