NOTE: Due to limitations of the Android System starting in Android 4.4, you will not be able to use your tablet for Google Voice support. It will only be possible to use Google Voice on a device that has SMS functionality. This is due to the new SMS API's included with KitKat and setting up a default SMS application, which can't be done on a tablet.
New messages do not appear in this app. People are texting me right now and this app never shows the messages. I have to use stock SMS app to read latest text.
Stops working/crashes constantly on my Samsung Galaxy S6 Active. I would give it 5 stars otherwise. Great look and UI. Please fix! :)
The app is still fantastic, but I can't stand the holo-esque design. It clashes with the rest of the OS. Looked great on Android 4.x where the whole system was based on holo design, but on 5.0+, it just looks bad compared to the other material design apps. It's a shame too, I'd like to be able to still use it!
Simple problems such as saving mms images still have not been resolved after years of "updates" (they fix "problems" that their customers don't know/care about - or most likely don't exist - yet don't fix problems people have been begging to be fixed for years). Had I only trusted the negative reviews back then I could've supported better apps. with competent devs.
I've used this app for 2 years, and I hate to admit my time with this app has come to a close. It's by far the most comprehensive SMS app on the market. The customization options are unparalleled. SlideOver and Pop-up settings are phenomenal. since I've upgraded to the GS6, it crashed at least 10x a day. (Failure reports were extremely common.) I just wouldn't receive texts at random. Some wouldn't send. the moment it works for the GS6, I'll come running. Until then, EvolceSMS is a close enough second.
I have used this app for years, but on my Galaxy Note 5 it literally crashes every time I get more than 2 messages in a row. I have over 30 errors per week and my phone recommends I uninstall because it slows everything down. I love this app and just want it to work without crashing constantly.
Now I am not able to see the slider for on my new lg v10. Am I missing something?
I've owned Sliding Messaging Pro for close to a year, and from the first time I downloaded it up to now it has been the best messaging app I've ever used. Only issue I had ever encountered was the inability to send MMS texts (picture messaging) but that problem has now been fixed. Love that the developer continues to update this app to continue making this app as bug free as possible. Totally worth the purchase!
Needs t Mobil MMS support... Still!
MMS does not work on Project Fi. Would update to a 5 star review of Project Fi support is added.
Phantom empty messages appear. Dropbox restore isn't working properly. Dated design. Although, it has an enormous amount of useful settings.
Use to love this app but they haven't updated in months. Please update
Recently, while using the app it would stop working and closes itself. It would take me like ten times to send one text. Really annoying!
I believe that clearing the "User Agent Profile Url" in settings (under MMS settings) will make MMS messages work with this program. Not 100% sure, but I was able to send and receive MMS messages after changing other settings along with this one. Good luck. It's a cool software - I love it!
Promises that out works with Google numbers. Will not send any text from Google number. DEV fails to respond. Want refund!!!!
It works great just please keep the updates coming.
This app moves so slow it makes no sense it's supposed to make everything easy access but I get to everything faster with my default messaging app I need this fixed... Make adjustments for the smart watch
You have to fix the crashes and MMS issues. It crashes every time I receive an mms, and sometimes after use with slide over as well. These really annoy me, and many other. users. Please fix your promises, and make the app work
Constant updates, a whole lot of features, a great floating/gesture based ui. Its THE best texting app. Love it!
I've used this app for a couple years and I love it. But ever since I updated to Android 5.5 (which is full of glitches) it just keeps force closing.
Awesome app, lots of options! Ever going to have an option to back up to Google Drive or bit torrent sync?

group messeging does not access my previously created groups in my contact list it makes me individually select contacts from the list, and when I look for a way to change this setting I cannot find the "tips and tricks". I select the background picture in messeging but no picture shows up I will improve my star setting when this matter is resolved, oh also I cannot find anywhere to ask for help.
After update system, seems bubble never come up on desktop. And sometimes very hard to review all conversation just slide to left. I really like layoff app. So hope it will fix very soon.
I've used this app for forever, and soon as the Lollipop update on my Note Edge came, it started acting up. I used to love this app. And, to make matters worse, the devs don't seem to care about it anymore.
My phone is running Resurrection Remix Rom v5.4.3 based Lollipop 5.1.1 and the SlideOver bubble is invisible on screen, because the bubble doesn't appear but still there and i still can slide from its area to open app. From the first time, i did like your app's idea: slide to do stuffs, popup and mostly love the way it notifies me when new message arrive. So please fix this soon!
App occasionally crashes. Receives messages and displays previews but does not show after opening app. App will glitch and show contacts as "0" then prior messages will disappear.
Everything is working except T-Mobile Mms on lg3 it keeps telling me network unavailable, I used textra it sent the picture fine please fix!
Really enjoy this app I just switched to sprint and a Android 5.0.1 phone having some trouble with mms the developer seems to be pretty quick on fixing bugs.
It works great just please keep the updates coming.
always stop working everytime i restart my phone. my phone is hangging bec. of this.
I've used this for the longest time and I don't remember if I had any problems with it. I don't know why I switched. I'll do another review soon.
Sliver is broken. Will not show up on screen.
Last update was more than 7 months ago. And to think I paid good money for this crap.
Now it lags, MMS is awful, notifications are random. Pretty disappointed.
I'm running nexus 6 5.0.1 lollipop and it's very buggy.
...cannot share location?!?!
Doesn't work on MMS or SMS tried my setting what a shame very nice looking app
Is this app dead?
by T####:
Since I have downloaded this app i have been not receiving texts from most of my contacts. Instead i believe the messaging app has crashed each time. Also the app could really use a scheduled sending setting.
