Best messaging app? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5

Just out of curiosity, what messaging app is everybody using? The stock one with the phone seems kind of cheesy/corny. Theres so many out there and most of them are rated pretty high in thr play store. I was wondering if there was a a general consensus among the xda community for the app they use the most.

I Iike to use Google Hangouts. Seems to work very well.

GoSMS

I guess u want to send sms via gateways.
there are two best apps on play store for that:
1) free sms sender
2) free sms way
take bb phone for free messaging.
WhatsApp !
Best by far is gosms. Its fast, customizable, easy to use, and gets updated regularly. Handcent has gotten to big and clunky lately

GoSMS is a good message app, has a lot of features and settings. Very customizable.

Skype. Tango. New hangouts works great. Just used it. :thumbup:

The new hangouts works fine if the other person ALSO has the new hangouts.
I prefer Oovoo... works good. Hangouts lagged too much for me.

Req messaging app???

Is there a messaging app the would give a real time alert (stated "typing") when in text conversation to notify you that the other person is responding to your message. Any help or thought and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Yeah but that's an app where both parties need to have that installed where I am looking for more of an sms app. How does that app even work and forgive my silly questions

Hmm, idk if the facebook messenger app does that, u can use it to text people and both parties don't need it
Sent from my SCH-1535 using Tapatalk 4
I use whatsapp and it does that. Possibly one of the best messaging apps there is. Both parties need it, and it is a dollar, but you can use wifi and it is rock solid stable. One of the best purchases I've made in the play store.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
yeah you are only going to get that functionality when both parties are using the same app. And it would have to be a messenger/chat type app not a strictly sms/mms type app

What SMS program do you use?

Currently I use go SMS but lately u have been putting so many ads into the app.
Just wondering what u guys use.

I don't use sms apps usually and i prefer whats app over a messaging app. Some times i will use default messaging app present in my Rom.

I use handcents.
I agree with the op, go sms has been really nice for me, with scheduling features and different led colors per contact. But popup ads are a dealbreaker. I've tried handcent, but it was very slow for me. I'm seriously considering going back to the stock app

Textra is the best. Sliding Messenger is another good one.
I prefer stock app

Lately XDA app redirects

For the past week or so when I open the app I get redirected to the google store. I have to close the store and reopen XDA app. Anyone else experienced this?

This has been happening to me as well.. only it will not only open the store but also my browser and then i have to hit the back button like 5 times to get back to where i can open xda again.. then half the time it does it again.
I decided that to get rid of the ads i would just get the premium versio . So what.. it was only a $1.50... come to find out the premium version is nothi g like the free version. I get some extra widgets to put on the home screen but i cant even change the notification sound..
I just wanted the free app without being redirected 5 different places due to ads.. ?
Thanks for your response, not a good thing but at least I'm not the only one. Maybe I'll go back to using the browser instead of the app. It just happened again, first it open my browser then went to play store. Closed play store and opened app, then it worked.

I too have noticed this happening over just the past few days.
It is super annoying but it's nice to know I'm not the only one having the problems.

Yeah, this not only happens with the xda app but with a lot of websites too. It's getting very old.

I have also been having this issue. Does anyone know whether this is intentional behavior or perhaps some setting I unwittingly made?

It's nothing you've done. I'm uninstalling this app and leaving negative feedback. It used to be a good app, and I've used it for a few years now, but I'm done with the redirections.

Good idea, uninstalling it also.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA Free mobile app
Uninstalled the app, now using chrome browser I still get redirected, be.
