chomp SMS for Android
better than textra IMO though wish they had minor cosmetic details. for example screen animations, emoji animation support (like mood and messenger) and the read/receive checks to be smaller. overall pretty by good. edit: actually just noticed group messaging option to "mute" is NOT AVAILABLE. feel this is quite an oversight and might make me switch back soon
Chomp is hands down the best texting app I've used. Highly customizable and no annoying habits like the others. I really like not having to show the avatars (contact pictures). If you don't like the ads buy the pro version. It's the last texting app you'll ever buy. Chomp gives you a clean functioning interface. ???? It's dark mode is awesome! If I had to nic-pic to find something I don't like, it would be it's full immersive mode behavior. It's not as seamless as other apps.
Fabulous Cell Text App. There are many options and choices which I love. Thought it was all pretty self explanatory as I went through the settings. The only thing that stumped me was the new message counter (or badge) not being a choice in settings for the home screen icon. Went to FAQ and found my solution....put the Chomp Widget on home screen. It will show the new message count. Love Chomp, works great!
GREAT app! But lacking 2 very basic and VERY much needed functions. 1) message count limits per conversation. This has been in the top 3 wish list items on the developer feedback page for at least 3 years. 2) The widget icon can no longer be added to the app drawer on the bottom of the screen so it remains visible across all home screen pages. Used to work, then didn't since Marshmallow. Ugh!
I've tried 100's of different messaging app, & nothing comes close to Chomp. RU sick of using default coloured messaging app. I use the colours of My People, the 'Indigenous Flag'(Black,Yellow &Red) to represent my culture. +many more worthy settings.&@ a very reasonable price...

Handy app, but can't send or receive MMS with android 7 data saver on (support unable to help). The app works well, but is noticeably slower to do everything than other apps. Also seems a little pricey just to remove ads. I suppose the ads aren't too intrusive...
Easy to use and very clean appearance. Didnt care much to have to pay for no ads but seems to be worth it. Would like to be able to color code message notification icons with various contacts though. ????after upgrading to Marshmallow on my Note4, not all my texts work. Not sure if it's related or not. ???? update. Uninstalled as it seems to be causing my device to overheat.*update * works smoothly on my S8+
This is one of the best, if not THE best developer supported app I have ever come across. If you have a problem, just state it here and Jason will reply with how to get help. He is quick with help and works to keep you happy. Hoping to see scheduled MMS soon! And the group messaging setting to actually work (have it set to NOT be in group messaging, but still does) because group messaging sucks! Jason, how do you use the gif if you don't have a compatible keyboard?
I have been using Chomp for years, I have tried other sms apps, see if anything is better, my humble opinion is there is not. It is customizable, but simple pretty simple to use, if that makes sense. This is the only one to stay up with the android OS changes , no crashing when new one comes out. I don't feel it is a memory hog or data hog like some other sms apps are. I am using s S8, works great.
There's only 2 things I'd like to see change, and I mentioned them years ago. First, is the ability to customize the notification icon for individual contacts. I don't like having to use the same icon for all contacts. And second, it would be nice to have a secure private message box like go-sms has always had. If these 2 things change, I'll gladly change my rating from a 4 to a 5.
This is the best text message app I've ever used, EVER. Hands down. The customization options are insane enough to please a graphic designer, but still be helpful for newbies! Even other apps that have similar options don't perform as well. I know, I've tried almost all of them. I LOVE the custom theme feature with so many options! The developers are super nice, helpful, and give you what you ask for! I'll never use another text app. I've been using Chomp since my first smart phone, and it just keeps getting better without getting rid of the options I loved the most. I don't get worried when I see an update. These people care about your experience using Chomp, not treating you like a dollar sign, so they get major respect from me! #ChompForLife
Group SMS works here! This was my main reason for getting the app, and it is worth holding onto for that reason alone. Also the color scheme is entirely customizable, which I enjoy. The menu for doing such customization could be streamlined, however. Gripe: when in a message window, if you try to scroll up when a new message arrives, the window auto scrolls back to the bottom. This is frustrating, to say the least, haha. All in all: great app, and I'm glad to have it!
This is an awesome, 5 star app. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with sending & receiving images via text. They will show up in the chat, but when I press to view the images in detail, all I get is a blank screen. Hoping the devs see this and can help me, I couldn't find anything in their support site, or a support email. I love the app otherwise
still no change to the horrible handling of group MMS, i cannot mute group, i cannot leave groups, i delete the thread only for it to pop back up when there is a new reply, and this forces me to uninstall because i am annoyed with a chat i do not want to be a part of. UPDATE: Long hold that conversation - Blacklist DOES NOT WORK
This is an extremely good text app. I have used Chomp now for about 8 to 10 years. I'm not sure exactly when I started using it, but this is the sixth phone I have downloaded it to. I have found that it works exactly as they stated. When I get a new phone the first thing I do is disabled the native text app and download chomp. Try it, you'll see what I mean.
Seems to work smoothly, delay delivery is very handy to allow people to get to work or wakeup but I already have text written and off my mind. Resend option is quick and easy. Also like two second delay before sending so I might notice auto-correct changes I didn't want.
Good in customization of lay out. I enjoyed using the app. Though i have one concern but not a big one, when you send to multiple contacts in one SMS, e.g, to 8 contacts, the text bubble also appears 8 times in the thread. If you send to 5 contacts, the text bubble appears 5times too. But overall, a great SMS app.
An excellent and beautifully designed messaging app with great customization options. The only design problem is that the "compose message" button has an incorrect shadow, i.e. not as suggested in the material design style guide or most other apps. Please fix it, it looks wrong in an otherwise flawless app.
Want to use this app as my main messaging app, but I use a lot of MMS messages and it's annoying that stage fright slideshow shows up everytime someone replies in MMS even when there isn't a pic involved. Also would like to see the pop up quick reply in MMS.
The app is a great replacement for stock SMS APP and has great dual Sim features. It remembers which Sim you used to reply to a contact number. I am using this app for my LG G4 which has a terrible dual Sim feature for SMS. Suggestions for future update is to add "reply via same Sim" as a default choice.
I've been using this app for quite awhile now. I had a sudden problem (probably caused by me) and I contacted Chomp support. Within two hours they helped me resolve the issue with back and forth emails. Excellent support!
Why should anyone have to pay to have a add free app? If it's about the "people" an making users happy, this isn't it. Regardless of the price to upgrade it still comes back to money an not the user's. Very disappointed, even more so with the generic response!
Good Sms app, great if you want to have a custom theme to your phone. Only gripe is the trace texting seems a little off and doesn't predict your words that great, minor annoyance since I grabbed this for the customization. Edit: my apologizes to the developer, Im using a third party keyboard and had forgotten since I customized is around the theme I'm using with chomps. Disregard my review on that. Chomps is great
The best text app I found so I stuck with it.... I've been using Chomp's 4ever & have had no real issues.... When I did have a minor issue it was a quick fix & not the developers issue (they still gave me direction to get to the problem = good customer support)... I also went pro years ago so no annoying ads for me... The customization options are off the charts with awesomeness & really easy to set up.... And I love all the different icons & there's an icon for every convo or situation.... The absolute best!!!
Been using Chomp for 5 years now! Best messaging app available! The only thing I wish they could change is to have a picture preview available for the new themes in the app store ????
I text regularly to friends with older style phones and this is the best app for assuring that they are able to see my messages. Of the other text messaging apps that are easy to use this is the only one that shows the character count so you can see when a message is about to be broken up into multiple messages in for older phones. Since I have started limiting my messages to the maximum number of characters older phones can handle I've had no problems getting my message through. If I depend on the carrier to automatically break up my long message for older phones it gets mucked up half the time. Thanks to the developer for keeping the character count feature in there. I find it really annoying that other text apps have removed that feature in the name of "simplicity".
I really liked this app, had given 4 stars. But I'm starting to get really annoyed with the app opening spam in my browser when I use it. I have to swiftly delete the page before it loads hoping nothing infects my phone and I don't look like a perv!!! WTH????
Like this very much. Generally works very well. Like the customisation. One gripe has crept in recently: sometimes it won't send SMS and I have to re-install to fix it. ~don't know why yet, so only four stars, but otherwise very, very good.
Very easy to use, like the customizable themes. Ads start to appear at top after a few weeks but they're hardly noticeable and it's a one-time very small fee to get rid of them.
(This developer pointed me in the right direction to fix the problem mentioned in my first review. Very happy to have this fixed and it was never a ChompSMS problem. Thank you and 5-stars!) My only concern may not be this apps issue but it started when I switched from another txt app. My Facebook messenger now gets all my texts in it as well as in this one. I can't seem to turn the function off. I have not yet switched back to my old txt app but that day is fast approaching. This has otherwise been a good app.
***Still can't send pix & the devs could care less about helping me. Guess I'll uninstall & try go sms instead*** I luved this app and have been using it for yrs now. With that being said I do wish the devs cared a lil more about making this better. I still have issues sending mms, have the time it jus spins for hrs. Other times it gives the "!" and doesn't send it. Also id luv 2 have more customization options like: personalized notification 4 each contact (ie: blue notification 4 my brother and pink 4 my sister). Currently u can only select a default colored notification. But good app so far but I think similar apps r stepping up their game n Chomp has remained complacent.
I've used this app for the past 5 years on different devices and haven't had a single problem with it in that time. I haven't had to try any other messaging apps because of how great it is. Really easy to customise with many options to make it exactly how you want it.
I'm not sure what's going on, but my app keeps crashing. It updated yesterday, and all of a sudden, I get an error message saying "The app has stopped".
Last update messed this app up. I no longer get a notification when I get a message. No sound vibration or icon, when I go into settings and push test notification it still won't send any type of notification
I wanted to try this so I could schedule an SMS for a particular time. However, I was unable to find the clock icon among the emoticons where it was supposed to be. I wish you would make that function more accessible. For now I have switched to another app.
A bit more customizable than Textra, however delivery report is always says pending. For now, going back to Textra in hopes that this gets fixed though it appears to be a lingering request from the past couple of years ☹️
Love this program, I do wished this program could use animated emojis and whisk you could customised each cobra t with different backgrounds. And also a self destruct message after a certain length of time.
Pain in the a** with too many unresolved issues with pic messaging, etc. Follow settings instructions and still doesn't work. Will find an app with no picture sending issues.
I paid for an app that no longer works. I can no longer send an MMS. I've checked the APN settings and they are correct for T-Mobile. I've also made sure "T-Mobile WiFi Calling Fix" is enabled even though I'm not using wifi. I've also tried changing MMS Behavior from legacy to system. Wish I can get a refund but I doubt it.

I tried many messenger apps, and this one the easy to use and custumize. As I really am only using it as SMS app I haven't searched if it has any other features like video calling/group video calling, group messaging (saw MMS but haven't used it yet), or other features some other messenger apps have. So if you want a easy to use messenger app that focus on texting and allows you to custumize with easy with all the gimmicks this the app for you. Even the ads unlike some apps don't get in the way.
