Nope. Would not get this ever. If you dont have a line, you cant text on it. It will not let you send messages. So, if u wanna use this, make sure u have a line. I dont so it's not working. But if you are someone who needs a app to text on with no line, there are 2 apps I know that work amazing. "Skype' and " voice" those 2 are so useful. I text my mom on voice every time and it works just fine.

No premium version, only way to remove ads is by inviting people to the app and you get a month no ads. Can't text files that are too large. 11 second video is too big >.> Update post dev response: They've added a paid subscription model. If that's you're thing, it's better in that it is a more consistent way of having the pro version. Personally, I don't join subscription models but it's a nice user experience update.

It's a great app but for some reason a couple times it had some trouble sending out text messages. Like there was a couple times where my texts will get sent and a minute later it goes back to failing to send texts. Even after restarting my phone a few times, it still was failing to send out text messages; plus my text messages can only get sent if I'm somewhere else outside my house; it's only whenever I'm at home that it does that.

It doesn't allow group messaging. I can send the initial text thread as a group but on receiving end they get individual messages and all the replies come back individual. Nothing in settings fix this. It's two options there and both return the same result. Ads still annoying but I can deal if a few other things were tightened up. It keeps freezing...and sometimes I'll type something and hit enter...it won't appear...I have to close the app out for my text to send and appear.

Great quality app, but there is one major flaw that's just a deal breaker. It does not seem to support group texts. It shows that someone texted you privately when in a group chat. You have no ability to respond on the group (you don't even know it is a group to begin with), you don't know who's in the group, and it gets very confusing. Would absolutely switch back to it if this were fixed.

ADS ARE WAY TOO INVASIVE!!! Immediately after installing an ad appeared and it was hard to find the "X" icon to close it. In the list of previous messages there was an ad before/after every 3 people/groups. Upon opening the most recent text message, an ad appeared below the received text, looking like it was a text sent by the person who's text I was viewing. IMMEDIATELY UNINSTALLED AFTER WRITING THIS REVIEW. *** NOT RECOMMENDED ***

Right now, I'm still trying to figure it out 1st thing I noticed the options for font,color ; background options.. really appreciate the few options.I did notice that there will be more coming soon 2ndly ,he ads are kinda annoying ,but realize that they are necessary for a new app. 3rd ... I wish there were an available option to have s s message sent on a consistent basesbasisnd not having to continually change /or configuration in setting because it will cause a delay in sending / receivin

Used Revvl V. This has a lot to offer, easy maneuver. And I might can deal with ads because of that(options to get rid of ads). But I'm not going to keep it cause it seem as though I'm not able to remove contacts from the group texts. Also I don't seem like I can just click on a group and then send a text. Has save, private setting,boost,archive,lock,star,unread, backup/restore options. Seems to sort group text to individual text and keep the group text as well. Has several quick text options.

So far I like the app but... I don't like the fact that the ads come up in the middle of the messages. That's just confusing. And the ads are much brighter and make the messages harder to see . I also have not been able to find a way to change the text color and the messaging person on the main email listing page. The problem I see with that is that depending on the type of theme you pick, and the default text colors, the message listing can be very hard to see.

I would definitely do a 5+ across the board, but it's the ads that can be a little annoying. Now, I know it has a "premium" option that removes all of the ads. The last msg app I had was free & it didn't have all of these ads. I know, maybe that's why it was no longer used by Google🙄 That's totally irrelevant,p, can you please just lighten up on some of these ads? It's an excellent app & I don't want to not have it anymore! ;)

Overall I like it's appearance and reliability. My default texting app would not receive texts from certain friends. This app solved the problem. So why not a 5 star rating? My group contact occasionally disappears and you have to dig into the program to reacreate it. Plus some of the ads are for other text apps which will want to replace this one as my default. This one works great and you don't replace apps that are already getting the job done.

Just like previous reviews, I don't like the fact that the ads come up in the middle of the messages. Recommended to purchase the "Pro" version of the app, I did that, and I am still getting the ads as if I'm using the free version. Please fix this OR refund me my subscription. I paid for the annual subscription. I also emailed the developer, but only received an automated email, no response yet.

Textra is able to send big videos and pictures with no issues. I do like the private box, but it's not real private unless it's auctualy hidden outside the application. Also, your notification part does not work at all. One thing that is majorly annoying and it doesn't seem to fix, is that messages (all of them) appear and disappear like every 2 seconds when your trying to view them. Y'all need to get ALL that fixed. I don't mind the ads. Private box need to be more private.

Great app. But while in conversations, it shows the person said something they didn't say. For example, it will show something they said 10 minutes ago instead of the message they sent right now. There should also be a way to turn off the 'boost' feature. It gets really annoying when every time I install an app a pop up shows up about boosting said app. Edit: after a few weeks of using it incoming messages instead of being given as normal notifications are now plastered onto my screen

So far, I really like this app! it's fun, easy to use and have very nice wallpapers 😁. The only downfall for me are the ads of course, but it's not too bad 😕.I also wish they add more wallpapers, just more choices! The only other thing is that I don't like that it needs permission to draw over other apps. It gets in my way when my phone rings and sometimes, it shows wrong calls. Otherwise, I really like the app.

Too many ads. I'm not going to buy a single thing any of the ads are selling me, so they're rather pointless. As soon as you install the app a giant ad comes up you can't get out of. When it finally disappears, there are ads in between your messages (that I will also never click on). It really is a waste of a good messaging app, because other than the ads I liked it. Pro version far too expensive to make it worth not just switching to one of the myriad of free sms apps. Do not recommend. D+
