Textra, very customizable. It has a black theme, and you can download an iOS emoji plug in.

I like Textra but Android Wear support is lacking. I get notification and I can reply but that's it. I can't open the messaging app from the watch or see any messages unless I get one set to me first. Once that's implemented like Google Messenger and Google Hangouts, I will go back to Textra.

As of right now, im stuck with Google Messenger.

I've been using the Chomp messaging app for about a year now with no problems, I did buy the paid version to get rid of the ads even time I opened the app. It has an iOS emoji plug in also.

I use Google messenger as we!l but I can't wait for solo to finally be released to see what that's all about. Google messenger has the unique feature \ ability to be able r to compress \ resize videos that you can take on you're phone, and send them out as an MMS.

Ok. But the Google Messenger app for the phone is seriously lacking compared to Textra though? If I had a choice between the two interfaces my phone wins every time.

I need both. I work in places where my phone can't get service unless it's by the window and I can't keep going back so I use my watch to see messages and respond from 20ft away. And use my watch to see who's calling and answer with a Bluetooth headset. While this isn't everyday, it's still something I need a good amount.

I use Hangouts but only because I'm on Fi and can get my SMS and Hangouts messages on all devices. Love that!

I use Google Hangout mainly because I can use one app for SMS and Talk.

I still rock Textra. Tried Hangouts for SMS, and it's both ugly and clunky. Tried Messenger (FB) and I don't like how it's designed for chat and SMS.

I'm hoping Allo will be the answer, but my hopes aren't high.

I actually liked that app on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3, but it didn't play well when I tried it on Google Fi - it wouldn't send MMS, so I had to ditch it.

The thing I liked about it was the Glympse integration - you could send/receive Glympses from within the UI without having to rely on an external app or browser (their browser integration SUCKS!).

I use Messenger right now, when allo comes out, I'll try it out for a while see if I like it.

Allo isn't for texting which sucks bc it's awesome

I had no idea that was called "Glympse" lol. I've always really enjoyed that feature!
