Ghostly SMS

It's absolutely OUTRAGEOUS this is needed on ANY device in 2017. But none the less, it IS needed and I'm grateful that it's still around and available. Google maybe stop playing tiddly winks with the CIA and deep state and instead fix your f#$@ing products for Christ sake.

This app catches lots of missed text messages. I was going nuts when I started to gradually realize that I was missing many messages, but I was loathe to get a new phone setup. I did lots of research to figure out what was going on -- stupid bug -- and was so happy to find this app! It works totally fine for me, no problems. If it weren't for this app, I would not be able to reliably communicate with my kids when they're out and about. Huge relief!

I'm losing a few texts a week on my Nexus 5x through Google Android Messages. Ghostly has worked great in receiving my lost messages. I can't move the lost text to my inbox because I won't make ghostly my default messaging app so that's really inconvenient. Ghostly's interface isn't that user friendly and the text are sequential, rather than by person so it doesn't work as the primary app but it's helped a lot.

It catches missed texts, but it advertised that I could move them to my inbox, however, it asks If I want to make it my default app. When I say no, it doesn't move. There would be no need to move if this was my default.

I do not recive some texts from random people even when my spam filter is off and person who sent me text, recive delivery raport . Few minutes ago app caught message that didn't show in my inbox. There is one tiny minus. It catches also messages from inbox....but it's ok. I'm really glad it works because my network provider couldn't help me ???? ORANGE sux!

It's sad that Google has become so sloppy that this app is necessary, but it works and solves the widespread Android SMS missing text messages problem.

Brilliant antidote to Android Messages' 25% receive failures! Unbelievable that Google cannot create a reliable messaging app that simply receives SMS messages. Since Oct 2017 their app update has broken what is an essential service (sms) and in three months they have done nothing to fix it!

Recovered quite a few texts already and I've only been using this for about a week. Those leaving one star reviews about the app's request to be the default messaging app obviously should have at least tried hitting yes. It only switches to the default messaging app so it can move messages, after it moves the messages to your primary app (in my case GOSMS Pro), it immediately prompts you to switch back to your primary app. This app saved me from having to return my phone. Many thanks to the developer, you saved me time and money.

Mostly works as advertised. Would love to see an MMS feature as well. Not sure if it is possible, but also a feature to force messages to reread the message database

Catches missed texts from my default SMS messages app. Very relieved to have this safety net!!

This is my life saver! I've been missing txts ramdomly. I installed this two days ago. I retrieved 30 missing txts with this app so far.

It worked for me. How is this bug still a thing?! SMH.

wow! I witness this app doing what it claimed to do, it caught texts that for some reason won't show up on your main texting app.

I love it.if you want to know who texting of your spouse or bf gf install it secretly on their phone.

Works great, saved me so many messages and stress!

Lifesaver. Catching all the messages that Android Messages misses.

Fantastic. Recovered so many missed messages. Just great.

Thanks, this is the best. Now I wont lose my message

The app works well

This app really helped me...I usually lost messages while playing Candy Crush and recovered them with this app.

This app, after donating for the delayed notifications, it saves me when my ancient gingerbread os on a samsung POS decides to discard messages, or lag and not worry about getting them in time. Perfect thing to have while waiting for an upgrade. It has saved me multiple times. And for users ready to upgrade, DON'T BUY SAMSUNG PHONES!

Dude thanks to this app I got cut cheating!!!!! My old messages that I never received pop up as soon as I open the app.....thanks you did a great job..

Can't seem get 1 that works. Works sometimes. I am trying this. If good i will edit my review & purchase. Android 3g Motorola. Update 8/31/16. Had since 2013. I donated on other ph and just did it on new ph. $3, but still ads. Cant understand. Dwayne- Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

This app did not work for me. Judging from reviews, it works for others. Give it a go, you can always uninstall it.

Because I haven't had a single text

With this app, I've caught quite a few texts that I would have otherwise missed. Not really sure what the issue is Lollipop's stock messaging app, but Google really needs to get it together.

I have recovered 39 messages that without this app I would never have known about. Awesome!

If I try to move a message to my SMS app I first get asked if I want to make Ghostly my default SMS app. I say no and Ghostly gets butthurt and cancels the move operation. Does not work as advertised.

No longer works

didnt do what I wanted

How do you do it

It only receives the messages I've already received. So I still don't get some messages or I only get then an hour later. The ideas good, but it does not work for me in any actual way hoped.

I sent a type 0 ping to my target phone which this app didn't even detect it. A type 0 ping is a silent SMS that does not display in the SMS folder but it is packed with data telling the target to send back network position.

It just didn't work. I still didn't get my messages.

Couldn't receive SMS on hangouts, Now I can

I ued to lose my msgs but now with this i dont lose any msgs at all.. Awesome work guys keep it up..

Simply doesn't do what it says; I receive SMSs but this app doesn't have them. Nexus 5.

Awesome app for what it does. I get all of smses, but love to be sure in case if anything would ever go wrong. + I like to keep kind of backup in case if someone would delete any of the last messages I received... But, once there are a lot of them, I miss search filter, to delete only from certain contact / all except certain contact/-s; I also really miss the option to "Ignore all except" instead who to ignore; I'd like to only keep this ghost messages of a few contacts... Update anytime soon?

Nexus 5 Hangouts just decided to stop getting sms. Installed this app BOOM.. got all my missed sms. Dev you are the bomb
