User Reviews for Messages

Overall Pretty Good! 3 Star’s.

Messages is supposedly the best app for all ages. All though one BIG problem for the All aged thing is that it allows any swears no matter what? Like shouldn’t a parent or guardian be able to add that limit and get notified if they say something bad? Two star decrease. Although there is so many fun and creative ways to text your friends! I love how you can name them anything and put any photo. Again should be a restriction option for that, but otherwise this part is great! You can even add them there own emojis of THERE FACES! Just make one yourself, and you can even get creative! That’s a two star bonus! The final thing is definitely the amount of things you can do with messages! You can mute people and put them on silent, you can remind yourself that there is a message you’d like to reread by swiping left, and you can even pin them if they’re your number one priority, or just a best friend! That’s a one star ADDED! Overall this app gets a three stars! Excellent service, but a few bad details. They could of done more to get a five star, but three is better than none.EDIT!: I add +1 star because they added restrictions for parents! This is definitely VERY useful and important. Four stars!

Love the app, just a few suggestions

👌🏻 love it! Can’t get better. One suggestion I have is that you should remove the clicking when you punch the buttons on the pad. Also, make the group chats easier to make please!! It is so hard to make them for my family and alone, Christmas and birthday group chats. I would appreciate it a lot, and so would my family and the Christmas, and birthday group chats. And every time I use an emoji, it glitches out but it only does that on the app. I don’t know if it’s just my phone or a bug going on with the app. It’s super weird. I’ve never seen an app do that before, especially not an app like this. And sometimes it even glitches out and types in double letters and just sends some crazy stuff automatically that I can’t control, so yeah. I don’t know if I’m being hacked or if it’s just me. 😐 I would add a star if you would try to fix these bugs if it’s just not my phone or me being hacked. Thank you for reading. A fan of this app, wolf 🐺 lover❤️‍🔥

Over all pretty good 👍🏻 but some issues

It’s a very good app if you wanna get in touch with people but 3 things that bothers me the most Is that first of all when your texting it’s hard to under stand what people are saying or how there saying it like for example if someone said “ok” do mean ok 🙄😒 or ok! 😊and don’t get me wrong emojis are a good way to express but sometimes people can use the crying emoji as a joke which is not funny second of all it’s the worst way to get in a fight like once a friend said “I know you ____ so bye” I thought she said we’re not friends anymore but she meant I need space dont text me back please so we got in a big fight. Last thing is I was trying to talk to a friend but it kept not sending or “ message failed to send” so reached out to a couple of people to see if they new if she accidentally deleted me, she didn’t and I’m still having this problem I went to the app and tried to see if there were updates I saw the reviews and thought it be a good idea to warn people about it! If you ever think a friend is mad ask to call it’s a way better way to communicate!

Message app

At 2.8k subscribers tells you all you need to know about this app it isn’t as good as many is it free because it is subpar some have over 1 million subscribers but they aren’t free . I would expect more from Apple Steve would expect more also . It has lock up problems when I text friend’s it wants to continue sending a text even after I have gotten out even after all the updates this message app is wacko only way around this is deleting the last text I sent and send a new one . Yeah I can see where it feels like I’m being hacked it does crazy things I never commanded it to do seems like the nsa is at it again . Only reason I give it a 3 star at this time is because I have always liked Apple iPhones so I figured this app was just as good I know it’s free but come on problem with big corporations is effort in creating something superior for its customers let’s try to do a better job being proud of your brand name this app crashes quite a bit also .

Love the integration, needs improvement

1:Instead of using Send Location, just add Apple Maps as an iMessage app.2:I like the FaceTime logo at the top, but why not add that for SMS users too. And, if you are going to have FaceTime there, add the phone logo too, and make it appear when communicating via sms. 3: If there is going to be a green logo, why have blue interfaces? This is the same for Phone! Phone color schemes should not have blue! 4: The apps drawer. I want to have word suggestions on my keyboard and show the apps bar at the same time, instead of constantly pressing the apps button. 5: add FaceTime as an iMesage app. That way, we can send FaceTime Links in the messages app rather than having to go all the way to FaceTime. And speaking of which, FaceTime has a complicated system when it comes to sms users.

Great app for messaging friends and family.

I like this app a lot. Idk why the rating is so low, well ofc they had a bad experience but you cant really complain if you have an iPhone 7! Most of the negative reviews are people that are too lazy to replace there phone or just don't know how to use app. The one negative thing is that apple ipads cant text with all devices which is annoying. For future: Im not knocking any stars because the app is perfectly fine but for future updates to keep the app interesting i have some suggestions . I like peoples ideas to add more mejoi clothes/accessories. I think it would be cool to add themes to your main page or whatever you want to call it and be able to change the chat bubble color. One last thing maybe you could have an option to pin more conversations? Overall this is a great app and i hope you take my suggestions into consideration for future updates! Edit: Even with iOS 16 you cant edit/erase green messages. Not a big deal just thought i would say this.

So I used to have this all on my old iPad and it worked great, I get it on my iPhone 13 mini and it’s still great! Although, I see no updates nor change. I recommend adding an update where you add more options to Memoji. Some suggestions that might be useful: bracelets, watches, a color wheel, an option where you can go in and adjust where you have certain things, and I feel like every body asks for this, more hairstyles, more options where you put highlights. For example, I personally think that it would be awesome if you had an option where you can make the hair half and half, like where you can have half of the hair green and the other half blue or something. Also, it would be nice if you could make the background of a chat a color or image. Other than that, your app is great! But like I said earlier, I haven’t seen much change. I hope you consider adding an update!

Works fine, but could use some new features

iMessage is what most people in the USA use to communicate from Apple device to Apple device. For that, iMessage works just fine; great even. But the problem is when a user wants to message someone without an Apple device, they have to use SMS. I understand there are plenty of other applications that allow for end-to-end encrypted chats and have a lot more features than SMS. However, the problem in North America is getting people to use the same service. For that reason, I think it would be EXTREMELY helpful if Apple supported RCS natively (in this “Messages” app). It would be great to be able to have end-to-end encrypted conversations with people that don’t use Apple devices. For a company that claims to value the users privacy, this seems like an easy choice to me.

one major thing

i love messages and its my main source of texting other than discord and snapchat. however, theres one thing that i think would make messages a WHOLE lot better and continue to be up there. so like whatsapp and snapchat both have things where u can post ur status. so what if messages did that too? it would create an even bigger attraction to messages and im pretty sure teens and young adults would especially enjoy this feature. you could like status post pics and all your contacts could see it, though in your settings it could be changed. i also know that snap and insta have sendit, so what if there was a sendit-message collab? newer generations would enjoy that. also, could you please make edit and unsend timings longer? sometimes u send something and dont realize theres a huge typo or smth and when u want to change it u run out of “time”. maybe make that longer?other than that, i think messages is a great app for communication, and the stuff with memoji and game pigeon are very enjoyable!

An issue that needs fixing

I don’t know if anyone else has this, but recently I’ve been texting and calling just fine on my iPad. It accidentally got broken and is no longer usable. I’m switching to and iPad that is connected to my broken iPad so nothing is lost except for pictures only because it doesn’t share or have the same pictures since it hasn’t been on for months. I’m currently sending this through the iPad. My issue is that when I went text my friends that I can text them again, nothing was working, so I decided to just FaceTime and it still didn’t work. I rebooted the iPad many times and it kept kicking me out the app. If it pressed on something it wouldn’t do anything. Well, about five minutes ago I went to re-check my messages and see if I could do it, nope. So I went to face time. Nope. I deleted FaceTime to see if it would fix it and on my way to re-download it, I got a call from my friend and thirty different ring tones and a spam message on my screen that looks like the low battery sign but instead it said “call _____?” Over and over with different names every time and it kept spamming me so I had to turn the iPad off and back on so it would stop. Please, if you’ve ever heard of this issue, tell me what I can do to be able to text/ft/call my friends again I’m on summer break and need to address plans with them. QUICKLY. thank you so much for the amazing app before it crashed on my side. At least I made so many memories with it. Thanks for your time ❤️
