3/5Update
The new update makes it worse! Please fix :(

Andyisabutt · 31 Jul 2026
2/5New Update
I updated mine and now things aren't working as well as it did before I updated it. The messages collides and the waiting screen isn't working. Please have an update to fix these problems ASAP.

1/5Update Making App Aweful
Since the latest update messages conflict with pics, the "set-up" page doesn't hide like before, and reading the fake text(s) the messages do not look realistic. Please revert back to the "old" version--updates doesn't always mean better functionality or better.

5/5Awesome ^=^
Best message app I've seen and it is really worth the price.

1/5This app is terrible
I bought the .99 version of it because with the free version the messages overlap and I thought if I got the .99 version that would solve it, WRONG. As far as I'm concerned this app is a piece of you know what and you should really try to fix it because it ridiculous to buy an app for .99 that DOESNT EVEN WORK. sorry for being so harsh...I really am. Please try to fix it ~Thanks
