Besides When you send the message it looks like it is a website when you send it to someone ### 2/5 — Well um.. *2026-04-05, version 2.1* It super cool and stuff. But then it gets boring… lol and you have to pay 2 dollars for this thing TWO BUCKS. You know what I am gonna delete . Like it gets really boring ### 3/5 — Nah *2026-04-03, version 2.1* You can’t actually text the words it’s just a picture ### 4/5 — Color text mess. *2026-03-17, version 2.1* I literally love this so much. lol. I like how you can pick your own text. ### 4/5 — Dear Color Text *2026-03-12, version 2.1* To make this app better, don’t make the texts just a picture. Make it’s real text. That way it looks better. You will get better reviews that way. :) ### 4/5 — Should not pay in app purchases *2025-10-28, version 2.1* Don’t like amount of money in app. Great app but next time no money pls pls pls.super fun app allot you have to pay still don’t pay pls I didn’t pay so why should you.😑 ### 2/5 — It was ok *2025-09-29, version 2.1* It only let's you have pics of the text, I sent in a different color and pattern but it was a picture of it ### 3/5 — Meh *2025-08-15, version 2.1* It's really cool but not free and quick ### 2/5 — Not good please read *2025-08-07, version 2.1* I got this and it sends a pic of it and only with the app you must pay and with out paying you can not do ANYTHING it will not let you sent anything outside of the app it looks like a picture of a bubble with words NOT A GOOD APP ### 4/5 — FUN BUT.. *2025-08-04, version 2.1* It’s good, but you only have a limited option of fault and it doesn’t change your text board. You have to go on an app and then you send it to one person at a time. It doesn’t actually change your text words for all of everything. ### 3/5 — Color Text *2025-07-06, version 2.1* The colors background are mostly unusable, about 70% of them because they interfere with the text. They are too saturated with colors. They are too crazy so the text cannot be read. So, I just use about 7 backgrounds. ### 4/5 — Good but some changes……. *2025-07-01, version 2.1* It’s not what I thought it was like you have to pay for the “VIP” ones and there are like 2 that’s not “VIP” ### 3/5 — Nice but could be much better *2025-06-29, version 2.1* It’s OK app, but I would like it better if you did not have to text inside the app. Unless I’m doing something wrong, I have to continuously right inside the app and then hit send and send it to the person that I am writing to every time. And for me to see it, I have to leave out the app and go into my messenger to see what the person wrote. ### 3/5 — Ok *2025-06-28, version 2.1* It’s a fun app but would be better if u had more options ### 4/5 — Ok I could get used to this *2025-06-17, version 2.1* This is a good app but you have to type then send so I just have to get used to going on this app instead of messages but after all its a great app ### 3/5 — Its ok… *2025-06-01, version 2.1* Its ok but it’s not what I thought bc its just a photo being sent to whoever also it froze my keyboard when in it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — In app purchases *2025-11-23, version 2.1* Not interested when you download the app, and you find out you get one option to try it out ### 1/5 — Read for the real opinion. *2025-06-21, version 2.1* First off, you’d expect the app to be some sort of plugin to make your messages cute. But no, you have to send it one by one, putting each persons number on. Second, after I sent it, it was about to send all my information to them through email. Odd. Only good for one single cool message like: “Surprise!” ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-03-28, version 2.1* Waste of time ### 1/5 — What I like about and don’t *2025-03-11, version 2.1* So when I got the app and I sent something to my friend and she text back and said how did you do that I got this app. BUT NOW IT IS NOT LETTING ME USE THE APP!!! ### 1/5 — Michael *2024-01-07, version 2.1* It’s a ripoff I texted 3 texts then it locks it asked for another $1.99 to unlock, can’t use it anymore Unless I pay more money ,, what a shame I definitely don’t recommend bad app ### 1/5 — Lousy suggestion *2023-08-24, version 2.1* This app was chosen to change the background color for my messages on my iPhone. No instructions. Nothing. This app bites. I was just a suggestion. ### 1/5 — Action *2023-08-21, version 2.1* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Not What I Expected *2023-07-13, version 2.1* I don’t like it. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-06-29, version 2.1* You can only use it on messenger! Its slow and useless! ### 1/5 — Now I see why it is free *2023-06-13, version 2.1* It will only allow you to type like three or four words. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best app EVER (ps I am in love) *2026-08-29, version 2.1* I can’t say anything I’m so speechless ### 5/5 — Color Text Messages *2026-08-28, version 2.1* I love it 🌸🌺💐 ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-30, version 2.1* U should use this app. It’s really fun. ### 5/5 — I Love Soooo Much And I like the Colors🍭 *2026-06-26, version 2.1* I Love it and like it to ### 5/5 — Fun and functional *2026-06-10, version 2.1* I love it. ### 5/5 — 𝐻𝑖 *2025-10-03, version 2.1* 𝑀𝑖𝑐 ### 5/5 — Colors and fun *2025-08-10, version 2.1* This app is really good and I like surprising my friends with my cool textbox!
