Verizon disabled usage of Message+, they said go with Google messages. That app has its problems. I tried this one. However I do not want to allow The app to have location permission. Each time I start the app it forces me to go into the settings. I can hit back, but it really is a PITA. There's no need a messaging app needs access to my location. That is why the three star only rating. Other than that, it seems to be working fairly well.

I was forced to move from message+ to Google messages, as message+ was going away. Here is my experience. I get ads all the time and can't delete them. Why do we need ads in a text app. It's like making a phone call, and they interrupt your call to sell you something. 2. Can't receive media , photos, or any attachments. 3 it's trash. Google messages sucks big time.
