Messenger vs Textra

[eric002]

So, after realizing that allo doesn't have any SMS integration and that's a very very inconvenient and bad thing, I'm trying text wrap out for myself. I'm realizing that has a lot more customization options for colors and quick replies and what I love is when you quick reply to an incoming text message number one it will also clear the message from the notification shade like nougat did in developer preview 3 with Google Messenger. Number 2 is you can apply a picture message from the notification shade and not just in the main texting you! That's a really nice feature ! Does anyone else here use Textra for texting?

I always use Textra now. I love the quick reply and being able to customize all the notifications / how they operate.

Yes, yes. I never knew that text was so customizable before. I use Google Messenger in the past all the time to use all Google apps which I actually love and whatnot but I have found that when creating new messages in Google Messenger it is a bit sluggish and laggy and it's not smooth. And yeah the quick reply in Textra and their color customizations are pretty awesome! And it doesn't seem like it's a ram memory hog or a batteries hog either. What do you think so?

I've used both Messenger and Textra and prefer Textra. More customization and just a better overall experience. Nothing really wrong with Messenger, I just like Textra better. I liked it enough to purchase the Pro version.

I've used both. Textra is much better!

I can see that well thanks for the feedback everyone, I really appreciate it!

On a side note, I did like the idea of allo, however it's not meant for sms integration, and that could be one of the main reasons it fail unfortunately.
