I like this app because you can connect it with another app called Call Control, which blocks spam calls. When connected, it also blocks spam texts. I bought the premium of QKSMS back in 2021, and it's been fantastic. A one time payment too, rather than a whole damn subscription, what a novelty. Recently, however, it no longer sends or receives texts, which is what the program is meant to do, so I can't reccomend it to anyone. It hasn't been updated since 2021. It's a real shame.

I love it!! Been using for years and love the customization options as well as schedule send feature. Attachments work pretty well too. The one thing I really miss is the ability to "lock" specific messages so they don't get deleted. Lost some sentimental ones when that feature was gone. šŸ˜”

This app used to be 5 stars however there has been no development in years, which is disappointing as I purchased the + version. Currently the message count that appears in the icon badge is inaccurate. It displays 2 messages even though there is only 1 message. Turns out there was an unread message stuck in memory from 3 yrs ago that was skewing the count. The unread message initially could not be seen however after changing the delete mesages setting to 1 yr the app is now working
