What Text Messaging app do you use?

[Connert]

I have never thought so myself. I have tried it multiple times, but the UI is awful and I don't particularly need features like access on computers or tablets, eGifts, Glympse, scheduled messages, etc. I just want messaging on my phone.

Ok, saying this, next fall I am traveling to Europe and will likely install a local SIM while I am there, and will use the Verizon Messaging app only then, because that will allow me to receive SMS messages over data networks (WiFi and non-VZW mobile data) rather than just SMS. As soon as I get home, though, it's getting uninstalled.

I understand that everyone is not me, and maybe my issues with VM+ is not all that commonly shared, but - IMHO - it's an awful app to look at and use.

I definitely respect your opinion but have to ask, what SMS app do you use that has more custom GUI options than VM+?

It is one of the best features for me, it allows for so many custom looks.

Textera and Hangouts.

I use stock launcher 3 but am tempted to go to Home2, which allows for mapping of double tap home.

Google Messenger and Action Launcher 3

Used to use GoSMS and then older version of Google Messenger.

For those using Messenger 2.0 like on Pixel, can you schedule a text message? I can't find the option.

Textra of course.

Does VZ Messages+ work w/ Wear notifications/replies? Last time I tried it, it did not.

I just started using OKSMS and I really like it.
