Ratings and reviews

Update: Realized open conversations don't notify of new messages with the screen off. Kind of a big issue for me. Original: Pretty good, but MMS "fixes" haven't worked. Still can't send picture messages after 3 updates that claimed to fix it. I like the app pretty well, but this is a big problem. EDIT: I can send photos reliably now, but they get compressed down to 300KB, which is pretty low resolution. It'll work for now, but not very well.

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!

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.
