Many users applaud the app with positive notes like 'Great app' and 'love it,' indicating it is a usable SMS/text messenger. However, the most frequent negatives center on intrusive ads that persist despite attempts to remove them, plus repeated reports of message delivery problems (failed sends and missed OTPs). Usability issues tied to updates and UI clutter—ads blocking content, limited visibility, and confusing navigation—also appear across reviews. Privacy concerns show up in a single review, but are not widely echoed. Overall, the app is liked by some, but reliability and ad-related friction hinder the experience. ### Pros - Generally positive reception across multiple reviews with phrases like 'Great app', 'love it', 'Very nice', and 'happy'. - Viewed as a usable basic SMS/text messaging app by several users. - Some reviewers explicitly appreciate the app's features and quality. ### Cons - Intrusive and frequent ads, including video ads; subscription to remove ads is not consistently honored and ads can slow the device. - Message sending and delivery issues (failed to send, not receiving OTPs or messages). - Usability and UI problems after updates (difficulty, confusion, and controls blocked or obscured by ads). ## Similar extensions and apps - [Messages: SMS Messaging App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.messages.chating.mi.text.sms) — 520,903 users, 4.38 / 5 - [Messages: Text SMS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.rayma.messages.encryptedmessages) — 774 users - [Messages - Text Messaging App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.sms.messaging) — 7,723 users, 4.00 / 5 - [SMS Messages : Text Messaging](https://chrome-stats.com/d/message.sms.text.messaging.chat.messenger) — 756,128 users, 3.89 / 5 - [Messages: SMS Message Text App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.messages.chat.text.sms.messenger) — 2,294,395 users, 4.29 / 5 - [Messages: Text SMS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.smsorganiser.messaging.text.message) — 379,286 users - [Messages](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.messenger.sms.messages.textmessage) — 85 users - [Messages: Text Messaging SMS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mirrormatrix.messages.textsms.messaging) — 10,436 users - [Messages: Text SMS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.messages.chatcolour.sms) — 82 users - [Messages: SMS Text App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.msg.kmr.message) — 140 users - [Messages: Text SMS Messenger](https://chrome-stats.com/d/messages.chat.sms.messenger.text) — 92,028 users - [Messages](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.messages.sms.free.text.messaging.chat) — 28,236 users, 4.34 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/meet.chat.messages)
