I have been working on a messaging app which will combine your messages from Stock messaging, Facebook and Twitter.
It will also support features similar to iMessage, which will allow you to message your friends over data, see if they are typing, send pictures, videos and group messages (if they are also using Messaging+). What sets Messaging+ aside from other apps is that it's extremely simple and fast.
First phase was to build the messaging app which runs on both phones and tablets, support MMS, Group MMS, etc. Right now I have the first beta out, please join our Google+ Beta Tester community and help us improve the app. Here's the link for the community : https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105068075764363660533
Current features:
Dark theme Landscape support (this becomes the default view on tablets) Super fast, runs extremely smooth.
Full support for MMS and Group messaging.
Upcoming features:
Integrate messages from Facebook and Twitter.
Send/Receive all your messages from your tablet and a web interface. Messages to your friends who also have Messaging+ will go over data. (Similar to iMessage)
Note: Once app goes to public, tablet integration will be $1.99/month and we'll never have ads. ALL BETA TESTERS will get all the features including tablet integration for free.

Do you use it on your android? What do you think of it?
I use it on my Evo. I like it A LOT better than the standard messenger because it lets you customize EVERYTHING about how you send, receive, view, and get notified by messages. I find it just as quick as the standard android messenger and (obviously) more visually appealing. My ONLY gripe about it is that it seems to have problems with MMS messeges sometimes (If it does, I just send the messages via the standard messenger)
Definitely one of my favorite/most useful apps
I've used it on my Droid from the day I got it, but since I got Froyo its been horrible. It force closes every few hours, and lately its been showing me the incorrect contacts on my threads.
Loved it, but not using it anymore.
It's good. It's not great because its support forums are just awful; hardly any reports have been replied to by a moderator/developer in the past month or so, and most have yet to be fixed (going back many months ago).
It is wayyy faster than the HTC messaging app in every aspect: opening the app, loading a conversation, sending a message, showing contact images, etc.
Are you gonna do something with these issues, davidandroid?
I love this app

I just read a review about this app from downloadandroid blog by Tina, I post here cuase i like it, I am not a developer for this app although i am a developer for andoid.You can take a look at my apps, Blink, BrainwaveTuner, MemoryBooster and so on. I am very glad if you like one of them.
Glad to present my latest app: Corporate Contacts
I was surprised to find out that Android actually internally supports much more options, that the Contact app works with. Groups are one example - that is usually the
"Category" when syncing with MS Outlook. So, I made an app that exploits the underlying system a bit more. Check out the app, and the video below, for an introduction. Updates are to come...
NOTIFICATION: I am giving away some registration keys for the app, which unlock the full functionality, and remove the ads. Write me a message if you're interested!
Latest version: 1.5.3
https://market.android.com/details?id=eir.corporate.free

Group SMS and e-mail sending, group editing of contacts.
See the introductory video for a demonstration of app's highlights: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFWiCEsmAy4
The free version is ad-supported and has several limitations. For the full version, without ads and limitation check: https://market.android.com/details?id=eir.corporate
Key features:
* Organize contacts in groups.
* Browse the address book by groups, organizations, positions and locations.

* Fine-grain selection of addresses and phone numbers when sending group SMS and E-mail.

WhatsApp Messenger is a smartphone messenger available for Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows Phone and Nokia phones. WhatsApp uses your 3G or WiFi (when available) to message with friends and family. Switch from SMS to WhatsApp to send and receive messages, pictures, audio notes, and video messages. First year FREE! ($1.99/year after)
WHY USE WHATSAPP:
★ NO HIDDEN COST: Once you and your friends download the application, you can use it to chat as much as you want. Send a million messages a day to your friends for free! WhatsApp uses your Internet connection: 3G/EDGE or Wi-Fi when available.
★ MULTIMEDIA: Send Video, Images, and Voice notes to your friends and contacts.
★ GROUP CHAT: Enjoy group conversations with your contacts.
★ NO INTERNATIONAL CHARGES: Just like there is no added cost to send an international email, there is no cost to send WhatsApp messages internationally. Chat with your friends all over the world as long as they have WhatsApp Messenger installed and avoid those pesky international SMS costs.
★ SAY NO TO PINS AND USERNAMES: Why even bother having to remember yet another PIN or username? WhatsApp works with your phone number, just like SMS would, and integrates flawlessly with your existing phone address book.
★ NO NEED TO LOG IN/OUT: No more confusion about getting logged off from another computer or device. With push notifications WhatsApp is ALWAYS ON and ALWAYS CONNECTED.
★ NO NEED TO ADD BUDDIES: Your Address Book is used to automatically connect you with your contacts. Your contacts who already have WhatsApp Messenger will be automatically displayed under Favorites, similar to a buddy list. (You can of course always edit Favorites any way you like)
★ OFFLINE MESSAGES: Even if you miss your push notifications or turn off your phone, WhatsApp will save your messages offline until you retrieve them during the next application use.
★ AND MUCH MORE: Share location, Exchange contacts, Custom wallpaper, Custom notification sounds, Landscape mode, Precise message time stamps, Email chat history, Broadcast messages and MMS to many contacts at once and much much more!

ehm.. I appreciate your effort to copy and paste, but I think that literally 100% of the people on xda knows this app.. it's basically on every "top android apps" list.
Also, you could have easily posted the link to the android market, especially since the latest version is 2.8.1504 (you are posting 2.7)

Hi everyone
Looking for suggestions for an instant messaging app which has the following features, in order of priority:
- Invite basis adding of contacts (not add all contacts through phonebook like Whatsapp but through username or pin like BBM)
- Voice calling
- Simultaneous multi platform support - Android and PC (so you can message from anywhere like Telegram or Viber)
- Ability to send pictures but preferably any file
- Video calling
I've not been able to find one which does all of this. I'm open to using my own server too if that is an option. Skype has all of these features actually and was the closest, but it never works its strange.
Thanks!

Studies have shown that smartphone users message each other back and forth much more than they make calls. Users need a good messenger app. It's a big choice, so here are two of our favorites.
WhatsApp
WhatsApp, the ubiquitous chat app, has been installed on over one billion smartphones. And it's always improving user experience, adding new features and becoming more secure. What makes it number one? Everyone uses it, simple as that. If you already use
WhatsApp, then you should check out our favorite WhatsApp tips and tricks.
Telegram
No messaging app comes close to the number of users WhatsApp has, but there are some great alternatives out there. Telegram is one of them. The free app has end-to-end encryption, does group chats and is a pioneer of chatbots. Unlike some other messengers, you can use it on multiple devices. Read our full review of Telegram
Copypasta? "Full review" where?
Nevermind. This looks like closing material.
