The app still freezes up and sometimes my messages don't go through and are returned to me as failed. I loved this app when I 1st got it as an alternative to the Verizon Message + app, but since the most recent update I've encountered some issues. If they could work out the kinks I'd definitely rate this app 5 stars as it's the closest app to the message + I've experienced thus far.

just downloaded because of Verizon messenger going away and I am testing out a whole bunch of messaging apps. so far my favorite has been handcent but this is coming in a good second. somewhat customizable. backgrounds etc can be changed. however I gave it four stores because I can't customize the font. it's plain generic font. can you fix that? or maybe I'm missing it. but so far overall I am liking it. if you had some more customizing features I would be extremely happy with it.

So far the app is doing well. Had to find another app because of Verizon dropping there app. Have had couple of days, and so far l like it. I have tried Google and Samsung, but didn't like either. There are some ads that pop up at top of the app, but nothing so far to interfere with texting. This is a short term review of the app. I will give a later review after long term use.
