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˜”

Really enjoying using this app. However, there is a minor issue that I hope developer will fix. The contact does not appear to sync with the conversation. even if i linked contacts, it only shows their phone number. They only sync when I delete the conversation, text them again from the system contact. If the issue were to be fix, this would be a 100/100 sms app!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll be fixing this soon. In the meantime however, you can force the contacts to refresh by simply opening the compose screen
