Textra SMS

AKBees

i've been using this app for many years now but one thing that continues to bug me is the buggy MMS. every time someone tries to send me an MMS it times out w/o fail ("can't receive MMS; timeout, click to try again"). i have to click the notification several times in order to get attachments, super annoying. with all the fixes they do you think they would fix that.

My Google Pixel texting started acting funky, to the point it took minutes to send/receive, heated my phone and drained the battery. Contacting Google was fruitless. So I tried Textra and LOVE it. My phone is again working like new. I suggest Google buys Textra as it's dependable, super fast and easy to use. And their customer service is excellent! 5 STARS!

I have enjoyed using Textra for the past few years. I recently had an issue where I was not receiving the sounds notification for incoming texts. I contacted the developers re the problem. They got immediately back to me and the issue was immediately corrected. Great job!

Really like the new outbound Tapback/Reaction support from the Textra side. However, I tested with my wife's iPhone (iOS 15.5), and she still receives the reaction as a separate text message.

Great app, lots of user control. After reading through other reviews I realized I can choose the location of where ads show up. Perfection. Love this app. If the premium version is really only $2 I may have to buy it. Update: Lately texts that have been read later show up again as unread, and texts that haven't been read look like they have been read. What's going on?

Clean, easy to use, but also full of customization options if you so choose. Integrates perfectly with Google keyboard that I use. Technically ad-supported but I did not run into this at all and then paid the nominal fee to remove ads when my trial period was up. Great alternative especially if your phone does not have a great integrated solution.

The app no longer sends notifications. I've made sure notifications are on, but I've almost missed several important texts because there's no notification for them. Edit: the original review was submitted on April 5th. About that time customer service told me there'd be a fix out "in a couple weeks". It's now June 16th and still no update. I'm still missing texts all the time because of this bug.

I really like this app but....when are yall going to fix the bugs with sending messages? They keep twirling around and saying not sent. It's been quite frustrating these last few weeks and duplicate msgs being sent to recipients. I'm a Pro User, so I did pay for the app. Hope the bugs can be fixed bc I do like the app. Also, it would be nice if sending/receiving video could be of better quality & length and not grainy on both sender/receiver ends. Thanks!!!

Good app. I have used it for many years and I have loved it. However, in the last couple of months, the notifications have not been working. Almost always the notification badge does not work. On the extremely rare occasion when it does, the notification badge reads 99+. The sound and lockscreen notifications do not work either. Hence, I never know when I have new messages coming in. It is very frustrating. I should be giving 1 star review but since it has worked well for many years...

Constantly running into issues on pro version of sending and receiving text. At least a few times a week I get unable to receive text. It was solid until a year or so back when I sent my first response. Seems that others are having the same issue. Would hate to move to another app, but this is looking more realistic.
