    "Textra sms review"

    Edited 2026-05-02

    Pros: The one thing I don't see anyone mention is the extended delayed receipt of messages to my contacts. Textra is definitely not an instantaneous messaging system. I sure will miss samsungs messaging system when it is killed off in July. Aes

    Cons: Extended delayed delivery of outgoing messages to contacts, and incoming messages. Definitely not instantaneous! Multiple contacts not pleased with very lengthy delayed messaging. I have canceled my VPN because textra claimed that was a prblm.

    Overall: My contacts and I are not overly thrilled with textras delivery system. My contacts state that they are not getting texts timely, even tho on my end it appears that my texts have been sent, timely.

    "Love it"

    Posted 2024-12-12

    Pros: I keep trying other message options but always end up coming back to Textra. been using Textra for over 10 years now. I love all the customizable features. I love that I can 'like' a message and assign different people their own message tone.

    Cons: When you receive a message, it just says Textra message. It does not show the person that sent it until you open the message.

    Overall: Love how well it works and how you can customize it. Even after a decade, its still my favorite message app.
