Review summary

Users appreciate the SMS plugin for Yatse for seamlessly displaying text messages on their Kodi screen, enhancing convenience and adding more functionality than other remotes. However, several users wish for better control, such as an independent toggle to disable the plugin without affecting others, and report issues like SMS not appearing in the phone's history and unwanted talk back activation. While generally praised for working as intended and being handy, some find the plugin unnecessary or challenging to set up.

Pros

Works well to display SMS messages on Kodi without interrupting media playback
Provides more options and features compared to the official XBMC Remote app
Allows users to see text messages on their TV, which is fun and useful
Functions as intended with options to control message content visibility
Handy add-on that enhances the Yatse remote experience

Cons

No individual toggle to disable the SMS plugin separately from other plugins in Yatse
SMS messages showing on Kodi sometimes do not appear in the phone’s message history
Phone's talk back feature is triggered even when turned off with this plugin enabled
Some users find the plugin unnecessary or experience minor annoyances
Initial setup may require advanced settings adjustment to activate the plugin
