Started off great, I really enjoyed having ability to schedule messages. The phone I had the full app did not include that feature, and this was one of the only ones that did. It also looks pretty nice and minimal, so that was a bonus. Unfortunately my main issue is that the MMS settings cannot be fixed if you are using a prepaid SIM, and had to update your APN settings. This was something I couldn't understand for the longest time, but switching to the Samsung or Google app, MMS worked fine.

I've been using this for years & it's still the very best. I wish for a few options & tweaks such as showing mobile numbers only, but over all it's as good as it gets. It still has errors with adding wrong numbers from a contact group. It's feature packed, ridiculously customizable, so many settings one could get lost, no nonsense, great attachment support.

It's a great application, but sadly hasn't been updated in years. I'm not going to trust an sms application that isn't actively being updated with sending messages. Shame because the design capabilities with this were excellent with how small of an app it is. Being able to customize everything with this made it one of the most versatile messaging apps out there.
