Awful!!!!! App suddenly decided it had to be the default message app...which it already was! It completely locked up even after several reboots and only decided to work if permission was granted for it to take over the device's display and give itself priority over anything else on the screen, regardless of what other apps were running. Try driving on a highway with a Waze map that's suddenly blocked by stupid texts you can't hide or ignore. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Do not install!
Starting today, I'm seeing an error that won't let me use the app unless I allow it to be displayed over other apps but when I activate this, usage is very clunky and confusing. I'm also experiencing the same issue as other people where messages I send to one contact appear in the conversation with other people. It's alarming to think I sent a message to the wrong person but it's actually just a display issue.
Bought lifetime premium years ago because I had no plans of using another texting app. After the latest updates, I am uninstalling. Attaching photos from external sources is now a hassle. And I send A LOT of external photos. Also, when I get a text notification and I tap on it, I'm not taken directly to that text; it just opens the app. Not to mention the invasive new "after call" features that are annoying to turn off. Time to find another texting app.
5.10.22 - What happened? My app freezes constantly. I am notified of a text, but it isn't there. I have to close the app and reopen to have it appear. After reading my messages, notifications don't go away. I have raved about this App for years. Now lately, I have actually started looking for other options. Additionally, I used to be able to send you tube, Instagram, internet attachments. Now when I try, the attachment doesn't show up, and I have to do it twice. FRUSTRATING! Please Fix.
Really disappointed with the overlay after call thing. I hate how it won't let me turn it off. I've seen several people have this same problem. This was my go to app and I absolutely loved it, even bought the lifetime as well. I'm now sadly disappointed and looking for a new app. If this can be resolved as a feature to disable properly I would love to continue using.
New update only let's you use the app if you give system permission to appear on top, even if you have the caller ID function, that requires it, turned off. It also forces new notification cards and notification bubbles that float on your screen. No way to turn these off. I have no interest in these notification methods. When I receive a text message, I just want a normal notification through the Android notification bar, like every other app does.
This app was great and when it updated today the compose new chat option disappeared causing all sorts of issues. Downgraded my rating because this has been two solid days with this issue for something that should have been fixed immediately. What good is a messaging app if you can't create new messages or access one of the key features of the app, secret mode.
Update: I recently changed phones and after the switch every single text I every received came back. When I try to delete them they keep coming back! Wasting my time and memory on the phone! HUGE problem! Update: I've been communicating with you via email and STILL cannot get peoples pictures to download. We have been back and forth and I've tried all your suggestions. It's a shame as I paid for the full version and cannot use the app!
I love this app - the customization options are great! Unfortunately, the app underwent a recent update that makes it buggy and it no longer shows me when I have new messages. Even more curious is the fact that I keep getting errors when trying to renew my Premium subscription, and because it's expired, I'm now getting ads. I've emailed Mood support but have received no response. How can a company run when users can't pay them?
Absolutely used to love this app. It was the best app for blacklisting, scheduling, customization, secret mode, and basically everything. Sadly the new updates force unwelcomed changes, having to post even the smallest of clips to YouTube, where other apps allow you to send them. Pictures not being able to be sent. I have had to download the textra app for all clips and pictures. It's sad really. Even the basic messaging phone app allows better picture and videos to be sent. And now the review
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS APP? For 2 months now I have to frequently uninstall and reinstall in order for it to work. Works for maybe a week straight then it just stops, messages just stop coming through, you can't press on a name to send a text, you can't open settings it won't let you press on anything it just stops doing anything where i have to uninstall it and download again to get it to work. I am hoping to find something close to mood so I can just delete for good.
UPDATE... ALMOST EXCEPTIONAL! BUT,,,, this app has a problem with being able to send videos even ones that are recorded inside of the messaging app itself. You always get this triangle and an error message saying the file is to big even if the video is only two seconds long. I don't know what that is about.!.! EVERYTHING I WAS LOOKING FOR THEN SOME! GREAT APP SO FAR.. thigh I keep getting a error message when trying to go premium for some reason
While I love Mood. I hate thr latest update. The new update made me enable overlay and now I get two notifications per text and can no longer access the configuration to disable the option. This overlay has also enable the after call display which l, once again cannot disable. The fully customizable aspect of Mood was the main reason I have been a loyal user for well over 3yrs; however these new annoyances are making me debate removing the app from my phone.
Edit: 3/11/22 Latest update removed my payment info for the premium subscription. And it won't allow me to re-enter the information and upgrade my account. It says it's a problem on your end. Please get it fixed ASAP as I don't like using the free version with all the banners and ads. --- Good texting app. Very customizable with built in banners and/or use your own backgrounds. Not thrilled will a few features but it's better than the stock texting app.
Pixel 3a. Updated to Android 11. I no longer receive texts. I must change to default messaging, then back. And then they show up. I don't know if it is Android 11 or Mood 2/2022 Still does not receive texts. Send works, I never receive texts until I switch back to stock messages. Anybody see this issue? Is it a setting I'm missing? I've tried all of that, no luck. can send, can't receive. One message did come through, it was spam from an email account.
Easily the best SMS app I've had. But for some reason I was unable to ever receive pictures or any kind of MMS media. I talked with the service department for a week and they couldn't figure out the problem and the things they told me to try to fix it I had already done so they just stopped telling me anything so I decided to go back to my previous sms app. Maybe I'll check it out again in a year or something but I doubt it.
I love this app. But I cannot use it anymore. I get a dialogue asking me to grant permission to draw over other apps for after call to work. I use android 11 go edition. That feature is disabled in android go versions. Can't you guys add a disable feature to the dialogue other than "Quit"? I even uninstalled and reinstalled. It was the sane merry go round. Fix this.
I use the love this app . i really hate that after a call the message pop up. Its very annoying. Thats just one of the things. But right now thats the most important. And also i dont see the typing indictor when someone is typing back. Please fix and update. I would hate to switch... Also why ehen im tryung to upgrade to the premium plan no ads i keep getting error messages
Photo sharing seems to be fixed but I am missing messages completely. They are being sent to me overnight and then not being delivered once I take my phone out of airplane mode. They just vanish. EDIT: The solution is unacceptable, fix your app don't make us go into deep settings on our phones. Also, photo sharing is messed up again.
Messages & pictures I send to one person are later showing up as if they were also sent to a second individual at the same time. I don't think they are actually going through to the second individual, just showing up in my conversation threads later with the same timestamp the messages or pictures were sent to the intended recipient. ... Update: Now NEW GROUP CONVOS are being created in Mood with random texts from other group convos showing up as if they were sent.
I'm officially done with this app. When I first started using this app I didn't care much about the premium stuff but then that stupid annoying ad placement right above the first message became an issue constantly clicking on it. I finally gave up and went premium worked fine for months until I stopped it. When I tried to go back to premium I get a message that says internal server error or something went wrong on our end. No help from the company I'm just done with this trash app.
Downloaded this a few years ago since imo better than Samsung app (have s10+). Recent update has a new permission request to allow this app to "draw over other apps". The problem is I don't need a bubble STAYING ON MY SCREEN UNTIL I OPEN IT (what if I don't want to read the message now??) , since the information is also on my notification bar. Problem is you CAN NOT DISABLE this new feature if you want to continue using the app. TLDR: can't disable new "feature" if you wish to use the app.
I go back and forth from liking and disliking this app. The thing I want to see is letting us send a video 90 seconds to 2 minutes in size. When I take a picture of a dog on the sidewalk, sometimes it says the file is too big to send. I have the original messaging app on my phone that I can't delete and if I deny that access to my phone and camera then mood won't work. And mood is set as my messaging app. Thank you below for helping me I made sure that was on the SMS will it help time will tell
I've used this app for quite awhile and was very happy until recently. I've dealt with the forced stops, the occasional non notifications, but now it's not working at all. For days it didn't notify me when I had new texts NOW I can even open a text to send a message! Ridiculous!
Loved this app and have been using for a few years now. Just recently it started being really buggy. Not allowing me to close it and repeatedly opening back up until I can within a few seconds time force stop. Leaving my review as I just now am sending them a message to see if we can't resolve issue.
The caller id functions are impossible to turn off, and when you try you get TWO "are you sure?" messages for each of the four "features" which may be the most insulting thing an app has ever done to me. Plus, if you disable drawing over other apps you are locked out from even using it at all. Only options are to change settings or quit. Yeah, real flexible, huh Word of advice: forcing stupid half-baked and unasked for "features" on your users will drive people away from your app. Idiots.
