So why do I need to add one more account to encompass all the rest when it’s just going to open a new door for my cyber stalkers. Seriously! If you have a problem with identity theft don’t look to any of these entities to help you. And don’t stick all your accounts in one place for easy access. Duh! ### 2/5 — Too many pop up ads. Can’t get to what I want😡 *2024-11-19* Have attempted to get into and use app but pop ups keep coming.. ### 1/5 — No instructions. Can’t receive texts. *2024-11-17* Doesn’t work on my IPad ### 1/5 — 1/2 star *2024-11-15, version 2.7* horrible ### 1/5 — Unreal *2024-11-08, version 2.7* Just terrible ### 1/5 — Does not really tell you how to get started *2024-10-31* I downloaded the app and all I got was advertisements cannot figure out how it worked. ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2024-10-19, version 2.7* Not user friendly at ALL!! ### 1/5 — So confusing………. *2024-10-08, version 2.6* Am looking for google messages to replace my current message service. Found it fine on my android phone but cannot find the correct app for my iPad. The one I down loaded keeps presenting ads and I can’t get to app. Ready to delete it and find something else. ### 1/5 — wth?? *2024-09-12* Downloaded the app and paid the $4.99 and the app just sits there there's no option to do anything with it or anything else I'm very confused ### 1/5 — Sketchy App *2024-08-27* I downloaded this app based on the app description. I needed to be able to text people as if I’m messaging from a different phone number. It doesn’t let you do any of those things. I also didn’t like the adds so I fell for the pro account and paid 4.99 plus tax and it came out of my account. I did not get a receipt for that and there is not a way to cancel this app anywhere in settings. It’s definitely a scam I’m guessing. ### 1/5 — Some valuable disregard *2024-08-27, version 2.6* As , one getting no satisfaction. ### 1/5 — Tab A8 to iphone *2024-08-25* This is by far the hardest app to set up. Nothing is intuitive about it , what ever instructions they give doesn't match up with the app. It works with Galaxy phone to iphone but wont pair to the tablet ### 1/5 — GOOGLE COPYCAT - IT’S NOT REALLY GOOGLE *2024-08-24, version 2.6* Some random guy decided to copy google’s app. It’s not really Google messages, don’t use this. ### 1/5 — The Messages App *2024-08-06* This has got to be THE WORST app I have ever attempted to use.!! First off I never signed up for it and there I am with an active account that has been posting for months. Secondly I’m getting all kinds of notifications saying that I have new messages and the provided link NEVER does what it is supposed to do and FINALLY I get ready to go back and read the message it doesn’t even come up on ANY kind of message and then the million dollar question is…. Where are the instructions for this app???? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unsatisfied *2025-03-11* I already paid for the upgrade and still get nothing except upgrade messages. ### 1/5 — Waste of your time *2025-02-19* Don’t waste your time downloading. An absolute impossible app to navigate. Read the one star ratings, they are accurate. ### 1/5 — Not even half a star *2025-02-16, version 2.8* Obviously I had to give it at least 1 star but i tell you that’s not even worth a single star. First of all, adverts Adverts ADVERTS EVERYWHERE!!! Then, you realise that it’s impossible to even write a single message. DO NOT GET THIS TRASH!!! ### 1/5 — Ulk *2025-02-11* Have not been able to use since downloading ### 1/5 — Really disapinting *2024-12-15, version 2.7* I can not get this app to work on my iPad ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work *2024-12-10* So when I installed it, it just like brings me to a page of random apps that you can communicate with random people not like actual contacts. It’s like kind of pointless. ### 1/5 — Not Google messages???? *2024-12-08, version 2.7* Doesn’t say Google ### 1/5 — Pointless *2024-12-02* I’ve yet to experience an advantage this app offers that justifies it junking up my storage. The app does precisely nothing. But you can upgrade to “pro”… hmmm, professionally lacking purpose. It’s a delete for me. ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2024-11-29* I can’t open it or use it pop ups come I can’t for. My messages ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads *2024-11-24, version 2.7* Ads galore no thanks. Excessive! Haaaaaaaaaate it .app removed ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Big buck country *2025-03-17* Big 9 ### 5/5 — Sweet *2025-02-09, version 2.8* Great 👍 ### 5/5 — Please *2025-01-25* Please ### 5/5 — I *2024-12-26, version 2.7* Ilke very good ### 5/5 — Big buck country *2024-11-11* Big 9 ### 5/5 — New Google *2024-01-29* The new addition’s have been useful and surprising ### 5/5 — Да това съм аз *2023-08-21, version 1.5* София България ### 5/5 — Messages *2023-08-14* Free ### 3/5 — Not the best *2024-07-29, version 2.5* Not the best ### 3/5 — iPad *2023-12-18, version 1.7* … what’s next … --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
