I think I'll complain about this in one more thread. I like Messenger, too. But, why don't they let you see the message you're responding to in quick reply? And why can't you mark as read from the notification? Seems simple and obvious. That's one thing I like better in iOS. Simple and polished.

@Tall guy...i am using textra pro but it keeps crashing which is annoying.

No crashed here...are you using Swiftkey?

Textra has been my primary text app until I bought a Gear S smartwatch so I have to use the stock app so that I'll be able to reply from the text app on the watch.

BTW, never had any crashing issues using Textra so try deleting the app, clear the cache partition and reinstall the app.

Nothing else I'm aware of goes above a 3.0 rating.

Textra Pro

The one app Verizon has made that is worth a darn.... Verizon Message+. Great texting app, with tons of visual customizations. Also has ability to autoreply to text if it senses you're driving (sync'd to car bluetooth). Server side storage of texts, and restorations if you factory reset. Overall, the best texting app I've used that was free (with Verizon phones).

have you used Textra and Google Messanger?

Just curious, i have only used the stock messanger, which i dont have a problem with but will be trying these other 3 to make a decision...

If I use Verizon Messages+, is Integrated Messages automatically activated? If I don't have Integrated Messages activated, can I still send texts over wifi through Verizon Messages +.

Also, Messages + acts like a normal messaging app where I can save all text messages with SMS Backup like stock, correct? I think it is only Integrated that stores 90 days online.

If I try it, do I make it the default? After a couple of weeks, if go back to stock, all the texts from previous two weeks will be in stock too, correct?

Thanks for any info.

I use a combo of Textra Pro and Fleksy keyboard. The keyboard has built in gifs that work. I think you can upload your own, but I haven't actually tried it yet.

Hmmm I just learned Google Messenger has quick reply ... I may have to give that a try. I would be shocked if it could take me away from ChompSMS (I have used that for years).

Well, my favorite is Evolve SMS. In app purchases under $5.00, you can set your text size to 40pt. Check out the screenshots.

Ah, messaging apps! I've used a few. I REALLY liked Chomp SMS (I had the free version) - I loved the customization to pieces! - but it started glitching on me, so I switched to Textra. It has a few less bells and whistles than Chomp, in my opinion, but I like it. Hangouts bugged out on me, too, and there was another messaging app that I had used for a while, too... But I forget what it was called. Anyway, I am sticking with Textra for now!

I liked the stock before, but it wakes up the screen when i receive an SMS!

I use Google Messenger now and ill never go back! Plain and simple and with the perfect Lollipop feel...
