Well now that Textra is charging I'm going back stock/Hangouts

[Almeuit]

I signed up for Google Rewards last week just did two useless survey and I still have $0.00 in credits.

Did you ensure to not select surveys that give nothing? I did and only get ones that give cash.

I am not sure. How do I change that?

I did as 'Golfdriver97' suggested about a week ago (thank you!) and d/l the Google Opinions Reward app and have earned over $4.00. I would say I have done about 6 total surveys... 2 or 3 not paid. Pretty nice way to pay for some apps.

I deleted that useless app the Google play survey one. I did 4 surveys and got a total of $0.00. After the last one gave me crap in credits I deleted it off my phone and tablet. I just paid for the Textra the regular way.

I don't see any option to pay anything for textra, other than in the permissions. Where is it?

I downloaded it last night and my first survey (not including the initial questions) gave me $1. I think it just depends. Then again, it's possible that I'll never get another paid survey lol.

I made $10 credit in ~1.5 months from that app. Each survey only took 10-20 sec.

Maybe your location affects the surveys you get. I get a survey every few days (and sometimes I get the same survey twice, lol which doesn't bother me cuz it's free $ credit).

Textra now charges $1.99 for pro version (just upgraded today).

 

[rexw333]

As of today, the upgrade price is up to $2.89, from $2.69 last week. It would be nice to be given some notification of the trial length before the upgrade notification kicks in, for those us who didn't have the app back when it was completely free. Stating that the app offers in-app products in the play store description as opposed to stating that it will become ad-supported after a few week's use unless you purchase said product is a bit misleading in my opinion. That's not to say i'm not willing to upgrade, I just think a little clarity on the issue would be welcome for new users.

Developer is getting greedy. Glad I got it when it was a $1. Now it is $2.89 before you know it will cost $4.99 then $9.99. If the developer then decides to pull the app and relist it (happened all the time on iOS) and you got to buy it again then I am done and I am going back to messenger.

Who says they are charging? I have not had any problems. If you want to use in app purchases, you can. But I have been using it without any interruption. And, I would gratefully pay .99 for this program.

 

[Muzzii]

It is still worth 3.00 ... Best app out there.

Good bye Hangouts, thanks Textra! I will gladly pay for any developer that cares enough to fix the problems that Google has ignored for the last few years. So nice to be able to always send and get my MMS messages now! So nice to be able to search my messages! So nice to not have to reconnect my WiFi calling every hour or two! So nice to have a developer that is competent! Thank you, Thank you Thank you!

I loved textra, but I've gotten so use to dual/multi window that I cant use textra anymore.

I WAS using QKSMS because it supported multi window but an update made it really realllllllllllly slow now and its basically unusable (IMO)

If textra was to add multi window support (or if they did and I didn't know) I would definitely pay for it (as long as its under $2.99) because it was very fluid and customizable.

I usually use my S7 in 2 ways, one of them Stock the way Samsung made it with a theme or with nova launcher prime an icon pack and a new SMS app. Right now I'm currently in stock mode for a while until QKSMS gets fixed or another SMS app gets multi window

BTW chrooma keyboard is the best thing to happen to android in a long time :')

The dev has realised he can no longer develop for free. What would you have done if you were in his position?

We're talking about 99 cents here. 99 cents!

It's actually $2.99
