This was the best app I have found since getting dumped by Samsung. BUT, there are major drawbacks. The most significant is the glitch in receiving messages (you have ONE job). My phone will buzz telling me there is a message and will even have the visual indication, but when I open the thread, there is no new new message. I have to close the app and reboot it to find the new one. #2 I can't search within a thread #3 I can't send animated gifts. #4 No labels. It is still better than Google.

Fossify is a clunky ol' thing, but it gets the job done, mostly. That whole "press to retry" when you're out of reception range, doesn't work because all you're doing is forwarding the message to the very person you'd intended to send it to in the first place. Then it copies that forwarded line to the next unrelated person you're corresponding with. Imagine the red faces when someone receives an unintended forward! There are other issues. It's a good go, but could use some streamlining.

Getting better! Search has definitely improved. Having problems interacting with iphone users. If they attempt to use their "like, love, agree, etc." feature, I get an odd reply of my text, and then may miss the next 1-2 texts from them. Caused a bit of an issue yesterday. Beginning to look elsewhere for a replacement after I've already paid for Thank You.😕
