Sorry, but the ads are a deal breaker. You have to sit through multiple full-screen animated commercials before you can even see your inbox. It's a shame, because the simple, straightforward functionality was just what I need. The one thing I didn't like was that you can only "archive" messages, not delete them. I was trying to show a message to a friend & it took two full minutes to get to my inbox. That was the last straw.

I to finally installed this app when I was degoogling my phone. it was marginally ok. Contact names would not show on some messages and have in some cases I wouldn't even see the number in group messages. All this was manageable, but now the developers have introduced ads. I appreciate the need to generate revenue, but this is over kill. When you open the app, you have to wait for a few seconds for a full screen ad to load and then, in some cases, you have to wait a few seconds until you can exit the ad. To top it off, when click send on a message, you are then confronted with another full screen ad. Enough!

Horrible. I just installed it and it's already HORRIBLE. It takes 7 - 8 seconds just to load the first ad! This is before you even SEE the app, let alone get to use it! Can you imagine having a genuine emergency and having to wait that long and THEN still have to wade through ads?? UN-INSTALLED!!!
