Replace, or give option, of an "X" to delay instead of swiping. And also, swiping right to delete does not work very well because it is initially to close to the right side of the screen. Need that "X" button option.

I was thinking this app works in every messaging app( like what's app & snapchat),but it ruin my thoughts..IN today world's who send text messages huh??? Like old days....

I have an older phone (Galaxy S4). That may b the reason why I can only send an MMS (picture) if it's already on my phone. When hit attach and take a picture the picture won't load. Other than that the is has saved me a few embarrassing texts. I would also like the option to send immediately..maybe a long press or something.

good app, prevent you from make a fool of yourself if you are fast enough ;-) First I like you can give yourself a chosen timeframe to prevent you from send message. By swype right or left, you will prevent the message to send. Either you recall or delete the message. Second thing is that you can set a curfiew and prevent sending message at all within a chosen timeframe. Also here you can swype it. I would like to see this swype works on every app that you can send text messages.

Great concept. Having a grace period to review a sent message is awesome. WiFi is temporarily turned off when you send attachments, which is a BIG problem for me. Also, many attachments just fail to send at all. This would be a 5 star app if these problems were addressed.

Love the concept of the app and totally works for me. Only trouble im having is that when i try to send photos everyone is telling me they are not receiving them so im unsure of how this can be fixed. Other wise i would have given a 5 star

I love this app. I needed to be able to delay my messages to not look like a fool by texting the wrong person. My only issue is the app dosent give you the message size. I would like to know how many characters I have used In my message and than i would give it 5 stars

It does what it says it does. Wish there was a way to have a signature and to change the colors of the conversation bubbles and it is very slow... Churn, Churn, Churn... Has a lot of potential... Will get better as improvements are made I'm sure.

I don't seem to be able you send photos. They stay pending then fail. Any idea why? Please let me know

I really wanted to like this app. I had it before on my Note 5, however I just downloaded it on my Samsung 8 plus, and it took too long to load a group message. When I previously had the app it ran smoothly, and everything went through rather quickly. I'm rather disappointed because I really liked being able to correct a mistake before sending a message.

by C####:

I downloaded the app for its sole purpose of delaying my messages from sending and it fulfills that perfectly. This feature was my favorite feature from the default messaging app and it was removed therefore I downloaded this. However I also ditched iPhone for Android for its customization and this app has none. At all. The ugly orange color can't be changed from the interface, no customizable backgrounds or speech bubbles, not one thing. Even though it does what its meant to, its hard to make this my default messaging app when I don't like looking at it.

I love the idea and I love the way it looks. But I can't change the notification sound. I select the one i want but it will only vibrate. Any fix? Running on moto x pure.

by M####:

Well it was working fine until I tried to delete the sample/guide messages... It lagged and glitched and now one of my most important conversations is completely gone. Great.

Great messaging app. Less likely to send messages to wrong person. It would be really nice if we can add Bitmojis to the messages.

As an impulsive individual with little to no filter this application has the ability to save me from countless headaches misunderstandings and disagreements. A+ 'on second thought' is saving the world one delayed SMS at a time!

C70%
by C####:

This is quite misleading. I downloaded the app to delete a message i sent in error, as it said i could delete messages as long as the recipient hadn't read it yet. Nope. Toy can delete while messages are being sent, but after that the app serves no purpose. Deleting this one today.

by C####:

Sometimes my texts get stuck and I find later it never got sent. Also why when you send a pic it shows up side ways? UPDATE: I've discontinued using this. Too many text with attachments get stuck and never gets sent. So I have updated it to one star.

by C####:

I like the idea and it works when I'm texting one person, but it won't load on my group chat of 10 people. I don't know why. It doesn't even show the texts from the other people. This is the reason I'm deleting it and moving back to Android Messages

M70%
by M####:

This app doesn't work with my dual sim phone number, as it can't decide which sim to use for sending sms. I haven't set any default sim to send sms, it should ask.

G70%
by G####:

I don't really rate or promote apps I download, but I feel this one deserves it. Been looking for a simple SMS based app to replace the stock app, and even one better than the popular texting apps in the play store. This one takes the cake for me. The only thing I'm hoping to improve is better carrier ID for MMS service. But that's not going to stop me from rating 5 stars.

So, i downloaded this app, because i had just before sent a message that i didnt want to send, and i really liked it! It was easy to use and very nice, but i have to uninstall. that evening, i went to work, i wasnt there for, and i see that my phone wont turn on. It turned out that my battery went from 74%, to 0% in less than 4 hours. I got home and charged it, and it worked. Dont get me wrong, this is a great app.

Great concept but it takes 7 seconds to load. It might sound like that's no big deal but when you're talking about "instant messaging" I guarantee that will be more than enough to persuade you to abandon the app. The suspicious part of me also wonders what info the app gathers in that span of time.

Z70%
by Z####:

Easy to use, and helps keep you from looking dumb, by enabling the user to correct a mistake before sending, but there is a flaw. Something in the coding adversely affected my wifi signal and turns it off no matter my setting are to keep wifi on. I had to uninstall the app because of that. Fix that wifi bug and I'll re-download.

Z70%
by Z####:

This app is great with the potential to be one of the best, but has some issues. The biggest issue I'm having is that when I send an image or an attachment to someone it disconnects my Wi-Fi. This uses my carrier data plan and isn't cool. Also, you have to enter in a recipient BEFORE you compose your message. The app should allow you to compose the message before choosing who it will go to. That in itself is another safeguard to not sending a message to someone it's not suppose to go to. The app also needs a "slide" feature that allows you to slide on a message that is in your message list, and have it either call or create a reply message back to that contact, depending on if you slide left or right. This is a very basic feature that is on almost all SMS apps today. Would also love to see some options to customize the look of the app (themes, etc...). Again, the biggest issue is the Wi-Fi disconnect issue. If that doesn't get fixed soon, then I'm going to have to look for a different app. Only 3 Stars for now...

Great app from the examples they gave me after downloading. Only problem was after selecting for mms or sms not sure my data went off had no internet service. That's no good had to remove app.

I love the consept and at times its great but it takes forever to actually load the messages allot... Not send i understand that delay i mean to just load in general.. Then MMS only sometimes work... Videos wont send aall and they are quite small its videos my native app can send.. Just hope you guys dont abandon the project and fix the bugs... Btw im on a tmo Note 4 all stock Android 4.4

I've been using this app on my S5 for at least a year and LOVED it!! But I just recently got an S7 Edge, and now it loads conversations SO slow that I've been forced to switch to a different app. I tried clearing the apps cache, and that made it load much faster, but after a few more texts sent back and forth it goes back to loading very slow. Also, I think most of us would really like to see some theme/look customization options, as we're not all fans of Orange :). Overall, great concept for an SMS app, but with these new devices there needs to be an update that fixes the long loading of each conversation thread.

I'm so happy I found this app!! My phones messaging system was starting to malfunction and this saved my life. Love it so much! When I get my new phone will definitely be downloading again!

V70%
by V####:

2 issues. 1. Sometimes mms messages will take days to come through, just showing a "loading" symbol. 2. Its takes a good 20 seconds to bring up my messages 100% of the time. Kind of annoying.

W70%
by W####:

Good app idea but very slow in loading when I open a group text. There is a delay when the message is sent out when you decide not to recall or undo.

Z70%
by Z####:

I love this app and how you can unsend messages, but it automatically turns WiFi off!!!!! This is kind of upsetting which is why I gave it a 3. If you fix this it would be a 5

For a few weeks now I've noticed that when I send a photo the app sends it sideways whilst other apps send it just the way I have it saved on my phone. On second thought version 1.0.0.75 Android version 6.0.1 Phone model SM-G930T on T-Mobile

App works fairly well but one bug has been causing me grief. I will randomly receive old photos that people have sent me in the past. This happens several times a week.

Great app but I have a problem. When I try text a contact from my contact list it won't load. It works fine if I am replying to a sent text.

After trying many hopeless apps that either do not activate or do not do what they say they do this app does absolutely everything perfectly. Would happily pay for this.

The creater of this app is brilliant. I changed my msg app to this 1 as my default app. I recommend this to everyone. I msged my friends to change their MSG app to this 1. To the company that created this app, I thank you. Sincerely- Greg.

It fails to send a photo every time. That makes this app too much of a hassle.
