### 2/5 — This app goes soft, but here’s how to do what it does for free

*2026-07-23, version 2.6*

I’m not gonna complain too much about the downfalls of the app as plenty people here have mentioned that in their reviews. However, if you’re like me, you got this app to make it look like someone texted you, and you’re annoyed at the paywalls and functionality. What I recommend doing instead is making a contact with your own phone number then send yourself a message, and turn the phone off before you receive it. You can also schedule the message to be sent at a specific time. Of course this doesn’t replace all the features of the app, but if you’re like me this will do what you want it to do better than this app and for free.

### 2/5 — Only screenshots. No visibility in app.

*2026-03-27, version 2.6*

I paid $10 for the full app (listed as $1.99 in app but actually $9.99) 
After paying I realized that even though you can make the “fake” lock screen. You can’t visualize it without the big “preview” button at the bottom.  You need to export a screenshot of the fake background. Which doesn’t work for my needs. I needed a way to put fake message on the screen for a video project. But having a screenshot is NOT the same. I could’ve just photoshopped that if I needed

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-02-18*

Nur Werbung

### 1/5 — Impossível de usar gratuito

*2026-02-06*

Precisava de uma simulação de algumas mensagens para uma imagem, simples passei 10 minutos vendo anúncios para ver que somente permite 1 notificação apenas.

### 1/5 — Impossible à utiliser

*2026-01-30*

Application avec bcp trop de pub impossible à utiliser

### 1/5 — Nothing here

*2026-01-30, version 2.6*

It just doesn’t actually do anything. Don’t pay, it won’t make a difference.

### 1/5 — Malisima

*2026-01-21, version 2.6*

hay que pagar todo

### 1/5 — Ads have naked people

*2025-12-12, version 2.6*

I dont need any further explanation… I am a minor and these ads are disturbing.

### 1/5 — ОЧЕНЬ ПЛОХОЕ ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ

*2025-12-12*

В приложение все платное, я зайти не успела уже началось по кругу

### 1/5 — How to refund

*2025-11-18, version 2.6*

How to cancel and refund

### 1/5 — No sirve

*2025-11-11, version 2.6*

Demasiada publicidad, se ve muy falsa y para cambiar algo tan mínimo pide un pago adicional.
Definitivamente no vale la pena siquiera probarla. No la descarguen.

### 1/5 — Péssimo

### 1/5 — don’t waste ur time

*2025-10-12, version 2.6*

everything is paywalled also they play p0rn ads is that allowed? 😭

### 3/5 — Share to enable text messaging

*2025-10-10, version 2.6*

Does not work. I paid and yet I have to share something that’s on shareable in order to unlock the very thing I needed. I needed the Messages app notification and it was only able to be unlocked via sharing in Facebook. Unfortunately the app had a different idea, and decided not to unlock it after sharing.

### 1/5 — Most features, blocked by Paywall

*2025-10-09, version 2.6*

Why? Why make it cost money to make a notification and stuff? What a waste dont use it unless your going to pay.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

### 1/5 — ads

*2026-08-28, version 2.6*

dont get me wrong the app works perfectly fine and there are questionable features you need to pay for but do i really need to have an ad every single time i blink??? honestly i always think i’ll get used to it until i get absolutely irritated by the amount of ads i get. id get it if it was like at every 20 minutes i get an ad but every time i press a button to do something i get these stupid ads, dont even get me started when the ads WONT close so i have to reset the app just for me to watch MORE ads just to get a fake notification. like omg pls lock in🫩

### 1/5 — Don’t even get this app

*2026-08-25, version 2.6*

Horrible app and money hungry

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-08-08, version 2.6*

Can barely use it because of how many features i need that aren’t even free.

### 1/5 — Muito comercial e pouco resultado

*2026-07-14*

Eu entendo que pra não ter comercial tem que pagar e tals mas não dá velho, essa m3rd@ foi criada por dois indianos e ainda passa comercial, se lascar.

### 1/5 — Too much ads

*2026-04-21, version 2.6*

It’s ok to put ads in you app, but this one is way too much

### 1/5 — Digital garbage

*2026-03-22, version 2.6*

You’re paying for something you can get for free and open source on Android. Stop exploiting people on iOS all because they can’t install custom apps.

### 1/5 — WAYYYY TOOO MANY ADS

Don’t download this app! Boycott!!! Too many ads, it’s super annoying ugh 😡😠

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — ❤️😃 SUPER Fun but ADs every click

*2025-06-14*

Hi! ❤️😃😉 Developers this is such a fun app and I love using it!  Very realistic and fun🤩 I use it to pretend my imaginary friends are texting me!! and you can set it as your wallpaper. I do wish that you can have it as real notifications tho and swipe and see the notifications. Maybey you could possibly add Real ones. 
But peeps, if you’re thinking about buying this be prepared for a ton of ads. Prty annoying but the app is super fun. Pretty much every click there’s an ad. BUT you can pay $2 to remove them. Anyway, developers keep up the good work, God bless you, and love the app! ❤️👍🏻😊

*2024-11-11, version 2.5*

I have bought many of your applications, but please update Vietnamese, if possible I will invite more friends to use

### 5/5 — Please ADD cashapp logo!!!!!!

*2023-09-20, version 2.2.3*

Add cashapp logo then the 5 is justified! Also add couple more features maybe make a little NO HUD full screen mode where you can screen record and swipe though the fake notifications that would be lit!
