Ratings and reviews

I liked QKSMS even with the bugs. I contacted the developer via email 5 times. Waited 4 weeks. NOT ONE REPLY. Nothing on the web for support either. It is obvious this app is no longer supported. This version in the Play Store is from February 24, 2021. Nothing new since. I uninstalled QKSMS and had to find something else for messaging. I could not continue to use QKSMS with the bugs, as they are too severe to live with. Fix the bugs and this app could be one of the most popular messaging apps available.

If you have issues good luck getting a response. Customer service doesn't exist. The app itself is decent but a few issues like if you start a text but have to answer the phone, you come back to finish it but there's no "draft" to let you know where you left off so you have to go through each text to find it. Also, the delivery notice is useless. Sometimes it works but most times it doesn't. So many other issues but minor ones.

Sorry it took me so long to update this review. The app now blocks spam very well. Half the time, though, it won't let me schedule a text (the other half the time it will). Question: when will I be able to send pictures? I've donated/paid for all features already and can't figure out why it never sends them. I can attach them but they never send and re-tapping the image as directed never works either. Thanks!
