Loving this app, had to dump my other one, got tired of it. This one is smooth, clean and has a few options to make it fit your liking, though I wish it had an option to change the color and not just be stuck on blue, being Autistic and I really love to change colors to fit my mood and it really important to me, but with good, clean message apps hard to come by I'm sacrificing right now, I would love to see a future update in the next few months that has some colors for us to play with

Update: I am unable to send picture messages, so I took a star off my rating. Guess I need to go back to Google messages until this issue is fixed. I downloaded this app because Google Messages is so basic and missing a lot of features from Verizon Messages+. I like it so far, but there needs to be an option to bookmark individual messages from people. I like how I can customize colors, and the font matches what's on my phone.
