QKSMS

I really like the message you get for the status of the sent message. "Delivered" Problem is, it's NOT delivered. And that usually won't happen from 5-15 minutes. If at All. Sent messages that still haven't been received days later. Other than that (friends not receiving messages) everything appears to work. (Except for why I installed the messaging app for in the first place. To send messages..

Can only attach photos and contacts. Not very useful. It's touted as a replacement for google messaging and seems good for what it can do, just can't do enough. 7 22 25.Some time has passed, been using. Suddenly, out of the blue, can no longer send or receive pictures or any type of attachments. Guessing android/google or both, are just trying to force you to use a newer app that can more easily steal your info and data as well as pump ads and make you buy lame products.

QKSMS recently has been having issues sending and receiving messages, especially pictures. I reached out to the developer but he never responded. It's a simple messenger. It does not send or receive audio messages. It does not have the ability to send or receive some images. It definitely cannot send videos. Links to other apps or to news articles do not have previews. I liked it because it worked enough to do the minimum. Unfortunately, it needs updating.

UPDATE: Since my initial review, I've discovered that this app cannot send pictures, no matter what compression setting I choose. I'm on Verizon, so I doubt this is a carrier issue. Really disappointed, but I guess I can just use another app to do that. Really inconvenient though. Almost perfect. Does everything it's supposed to. I just wish you could customize the theme more, like changing the colors of the sent and received bubbles overall, like you can in other apps like Textra.

I love the app! It's very clean and I love being able to customize the colors. It's also just really nice to be able to use and support open source apps. The only complaint I have is I can't receive any mms messages. They show up as empty messages, and even if I turn on my data and try to sync messages, nothing happens. Edit: My phone is the US model of the S10e, so no dual sim.

I had such high hopes! But I can't send pictures, videos, or gifs. They'll send if they're compressed, but it.compresses them so much you can't even tell what it's supposed to be. When I change the setting to "no compression" it just says "failed to send, tap to try again" and never sends. I love the app, the look, and all the customization options, but not being able to send media is a deal breaker.

I originally gave this 5 stars. I stumbled on this app when I had phone problems sending messages. It works really great so far. You can change the colors so your messages have alternate colors making it easier to read what is what. BUT... After checking the reviews and the last update schedule I probably will not buy. The last updates are for in 2021 meaning they're not maintaining it anymore. So sorry you lost Stars. And a customer.

seems to be a very nice looking alternative to googles messages app. BUT I can't send GIFS at normal quality. They get really blurry and small for other people. Also something I'd love to see in the app is that in group chats, the individual contacts involved have different colors attached to them. Preferably the ones assignment in their individual chats. 😁😁

This is generally a good app, but it's inability to send images or gifs without badly compressing them (especially gifs) is frustrating enough that it's time to move on. It's disappointing that nothing seems to work, and previous comments by the dev is just to try a smaller image (more compression) which is the whole problem. I understand there are sms and MMS limitations, but when other messaging apps work well, the only issue seems to be the app.

As soon as I downloaded the app I was in love. I was using Google messages for the longest time once I switched to this one I was hooked. Unfortunately the only downside is that I have the note 20 ultra and the pictures are amazing but when I go to send them they no longer look great. I switch to auto compression or no compression where the pictures still look great but they won't send. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

This app was nice until it stopped sending texts right when I sent them. It told me delivered but my friend didn't get them until the next day. It was the same in the opposite direction. She would send something and I wouldn't get them until later. We were so confused. Also, my family sent me a pic which I never received. I never had any of these problems with other apps. I do like that when I sent pics it was really quick. Unfortunately because of the lag in sending and receiving texts I'm having to Uninstall this app. Makes me sad.

Honestly, I really liked this app at first, but for the last... 6 or so months (I've lost track of time, so it could be longer), it doesn't let me send photos or GIFs. Super annoying to have to send it through another app every time. I've been through all my settings thinking I messed with something, but just found another review having the same problem, so I don't think it's just me... If it weren't for this issue, I'd say, definitely a 5 star app.

Honestly, one of the best SMS apps I've seen. My favorite part about it is the layout and customization, it's very easy to navigate and has theming comparable to apps like Textra. It's fairly priced too, which unlocks things like delayed sending and custom colors. Definitely some features to add though, but even as of now, it's one of the best. Edit: Just some small features, like per contact signatures. Also maybe a way to change the color of outgoing messages. Keep up the awesome work!

Thus far this is a very good app. Though as a previous reviewer mentioned, I find the groups listed at the top of the recipient list rather than individuals when creating a new text to be a hassle. I do have quite a few groups defined in my contacts. So, a means to eliminate them from the list, or, even better, order them at the bottom of the list would be a big improvement to me.

Great app, very snappy. Always use it on any Android phone I get. Only thing that bugs me is that it seems to completely lack the ability to send videos. It can send photos, but videos don't even show up as an option in the gallery. It will display videos that are sent to you, and it keeps track of videos you send with other messaging apps.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll verify that the contacts are available like you indicated. Regarding my comment about the attachment buttons: I use dark mode, and the attachment buttons are black. The background is black. It's hard to make out the dark buttons on the dark background. I'd also like to be able to send a voice memo. I couldn't fit that on my original post. Thank you!

Fast, simple, easy not complex, ...needs group texting though at least with options. Other than that good secondary app until a little more options are available. Update: does group texting... had to press space key in the contact window after each entry...learn by trial and error. For some reason the voice messaging microphone didn't open until the second day after downloading. Changed rating to a 5.

Well I can't complain...works with my call control pro license and it actually shows the pics on my Galaxy phone while the stupid stock app doesn't. Listen guys... great job so far. Keep up the good work. 👍 Update:. I have to come down on my review bc you guys really need to allow audio and video like the stock app on Samsung. I have to swap back and forth in order to do this.

Edit: as of this point, neither pictures nor videos will send. I will be unfortunately switching back to my default messenger. Original review: Pretty good, but still needs work. My main gripe is that attaching pictures on a samsung phone takes multiple clicks. Also, it is current impossible to send video with the app. The app is on the right track, but definitely needs more work.

Great so far! I've been playing with a variety of messaging apps and decided on this one. The super black mode is very welcome. I decided to pay the max donation to show support. The one thing I don't see is a way to send multiple pics at the same time. Other than that it checks all the boxes on my list of needs. Oh and I see the dev is actively responding to comments so that's awesome.
