I recommend to any of my friends who text irresponsibly

Best text messaging app there is

Great concept but it takes 7 seconds to load. It might sound like that's no big deal but when you're talking about "instant messaging" I guarantee that will be more than enough to persuade you to abandon the app. The suspicious part of me also wonders what info the app gathers in that span of time.

I have an older phone (Galaxy S4). That may b the reason why I can only send an MMS (picture) if it's already on my phone. When hit attach and take a picture the picture won't load. Other than that the is has saved me a few embarrassing texts. I would also like the option to send immediately..maybe a long press or something.

I don't really rate or promote apps I download, but I feel this one deserves it. Been looking for a simple SMS based app to replace the stock app, and even one better than the popular texting apps in the play store. This one takes the cake for me. The only thing I'm hoping to improve is better carrier ID for MMS service. But that's not going to stop me from rating 5 stars.

It is a great app, love the ability to recall a message within my set timeframe. However, for some reason the app has access to Wi-Fi, and frequently turns off my Wi-Fi even when the app is not in use. This is a frustrating problem, as it persists through safeguards and blocked network switches. I hope the developers address this soon

Easy to use, and helps keep you from looking dumb, by enabling the user to correct a mistake before sending, but there is a flaw. Something in the coding adversely affected my wifi signal and turns it off no matter my setting are to keep wifi on. I had to uninstall the app because of that. Fix that wifi bug and I'll re-download.

I really wanted to like this app. I had it before on my Note 5, however I just downloaded it on my Samsung 8 plus, and it took too long to load a group message. When I previously had the app it ran smoothly, and everything went through rather quickly. I'm rather disappointed because I really liked being able to correct a mistake before sending a message.

This app is great with the potential to be one of the best, but has some issues. The biggest issue I'm having is that when I send an image or an attachment to someone it disconnects my Wi-Fi. This uses my carrier data plan and isn't cool. Also, you have to enter in a recipient BEFORE you compose your message. The app should allow you to compose the message before choosing who it will go to. That in itself is another safeguard to not sending a message to someone it's not suppose to go to. The app also needs a "slide" feature that allows you to slide on a message that is in your message list, and have it either call or create a reply message back to that contact, depending on if you slide left or right. This is a very basic feature that is on almost all SMS apps today. Would also love to see some options to customize the look of the app (themes, etc...). Again, the biggest issue is the Wi-Fi disconnect issue. If that doesn't get fixed soon, then I'm going to have to look for a different app. Only 3 Stars for now...

Great concept. Having a grace period to review a sent message is awesome. WiFi is temporarily turned off when you send attachments, which is a BIG problem for me. Also, many attachments just fail to send at all. This would be a 5 star app if these problems were addressed.

So, i downloaded this app, because i had just before sent a message that i didnt want to send, and i really liked it! It was easy to use and very nice, but i have to uninstall. that evening, i went to work, i wasnt there for, and i see that my phone wont turn on. It turned out that my battery went from 74%, to 0% in less than 4 hours. I got home and charged it, and it worked. Dont get me wrong, this is a great app.

This app takes control of your WiFi and will kill it automatically. You can't use the app without allowing it this control. I got an entirely new phone because everyone thought it was a problem with my device. Turns out it was just this nasty and very slow app. Do not recommend

Ugly, colorless, tasteless, buggy, time-consuming, no MMS support. Only up to 60 second retrievals? This is a message delay app, not a real message retrieval app. Who has time to babysit each message? Trash. Just, totally, useless. Not well thought out at all, this is a bad seemingly smart idea rushed to market. Better off finding ways to design a message app that offers a more panoramic view for editing before sending.

I've been using this app on my S5 for at least a year and LOVED it!! But I just recently got an S7 Edge, and now it loads conversations SO slow that I've been forced to switch to a different app. I tried clearing the apps cache, and that made it load much faster, but after a few more texts sent back and forth it goes back to loading very slow. Also, I think most of us would really like to see some theme/look customization options, as we're not all fans of Orange :). Overall, great concept for an SMS app, but with these new devices there needs to be an update that fixes the long loading of each conversation thread.

I love the consept and at times its great but it takes forever to actually load the messages allot... Not send i understand that delay i mean to just load in general.. Then MMS only sometimes work... Videos wont send aall and they are quite small its videos my native app can send.. Just hope you guys dont abandon the project and fix the bugs... Btw im on a tmo Note 4 all stock Android 4.4

So when this app was working, it was perfect in every way but it started causing problems. I am assuming these problems were after an update because it had no problems for many months. Basically the problem was that for some stupid reason it would turn off my wifi in the settings. If you guys fixed this, I would gladly come back but for now I'm moving onto another app. The problem occured on s8+ on tmobile network. I tried fiddling with app settings, phone settings, turning my phone on and off but this didn't solve anything. The only thing that did work was turning off permissions which wouldn't let the app turn off my wifi but then when you try to use the app, it says it requires permisions. This means from my end, there is no fix unless I actually change the code which is something I am not gonna do because I'm not a developer. If you fix this problem, feel free to contact me and I will gladly switch back with a 5 star review.

good app, prevent you from make a fool of yourself if you are fast enough ;-) First I like you can give yourself a chosen timeframe to prevent you from send message. By swype right or left, you will prevent the message to send. Either you recall or delete the message. Second thing is that you can set a curfiew and prevent sending message at all within a chosen timeframe. Also here you can swype it. I would like to see this swype works on every app that you can send text messages.

Knocks out WIFI every time used if not forced stopped. Great concept... but looks like this WIFI bug has been around for a while (see past reviews). I would think a bug could be fixed in 18 months.

Mat. N. Jul 12, 2017     

I love this app. I needed to be able to delay my messages to not look like a fool by texting the wrong person. My only issue is the app dosent give you the message size. I would like to know how many characters I have used In my message and than i would give it 5 stars

Dan. D. K. Jan 14, 2017     

Replace, or give option, of an "X" to delay instead of swiping. And also, swiping right to delete does not work very well because it is initially to close to the right side of the screen. Need that "X" button option.

Rog. R. May 21, 2017     

I downloaded the app for its sole purpose of delaying my messages from sending and it fulfills that perfectly. This feature was my favorite feature from the default messaging app and it was removed therefore I downloaded this. However I also ditched iPhone for Android for its customization and this app has none. At all. The ugly orange color can't be changed from the interface, no customizable backgrounds or speech bubbles, not one thing. Even though it does what its meant to, its hard to make this my default messaging app when I don't like looking at it.

ANO. R. Sep 13, 2017     

This app doesn't work with my dual sim phone number, as it can't decide which sim to use for sending sms. I haven't set any default sim to send sms, it should ask.

App works fairly well but one bug has been causing me grief. I will randomly receive old photos that people have sent me in the past. This happens several times a week.

Dav. L. May 15, 2016     

It fails to send a photo every time. That makes this app too much of a hassle.

Chr. S. Jan 13, 2018     

Tested to my wife's phone right next to me. Does not recall messages as stated. Caches messages to be delivered after a delay. If they stated that it cached messages for later delivery I would rate it ok. False advertising.

Tar. L. Jan 9, 2017     

I appreciate the app very much. But it sems to remove the notification sound when I receive a text. I've checked my sounds and uninstalled and reinstalled the app to no avail.

A. G. u. Apr 2, 2018     

I like the fact that you have a grace period before sending a text. Also, being able to set a curfew means that you have to confirm if a message is to be sent; that prevents 'pocket texting' which has happened in the past & is embarrassing! Thank you!

DeW. J. Oct 20, 2016     

Love the recall, about to Uninstaller because I can't send pics. They always fail.

Jua. V. Jul 24, 2016     

Great app from the examples they gave me after downloading. Only problem was after selecting for mms or sms not sure my data went off had no internet service. That's no good had to remove app.
