And I have a suggestion how about you have an option were you can choose the color you use instead of having prepicked ones besides that AWSOME!!! Thanks for reading🐾💖 ### 4/5 — Fun and creative *2017-07-29, version 1.0* There are tons of options to make personalized stickers with this app. You write some words (1-3 words work best). Then choose the shape, alignment, color, font, and size. You can save the stickers you make and reuse them. I was pleasantly surprised at all the different choices. There are tons of shapes. I only don't like that they put a tiny "Text Mess" logo in the corner of every sticker. It distracts from the look of the stickers. ### 4/5 — Follow the directions -it's fun! *2017-07-28, version 1.0* you don't have to be a genius to use this app you just have to read the directions! It's silly and fun and generates great Wordclouds. I wouldn't try to send more than a two or three word message though because it really isn't readable, it's visual art. ### 3/5 — Not very intuitive *2017-01-18, version 1.0* First you have to find this thing, which is kind of odd. Then even, it's not very intuitive, and you have to experiment to try to dial it in yourself. It doesn't seem to work with all of your contacts. Still don't know how to work it when your contact is in red at the top, 'cause when it's red, you can't do it! Dev must make this easier to play with. Also, there needs to be more options with the designs you can use, but I understand that may happen when or if this app gets more popular. When you receive a sticker, and you enlarge it, it becomes jagged also. Don't like that. At this point in time, to me, this is just 'meh'.😬 Has good possibilities, though! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not a good app *2020-07-12, version 1.0* Not worth the money and not a good app. When I send it to people that can’t open the image. If others can’t see it what’s the point. Worthless Don’t waste your $2. Worse app ever. ### 1/5 — Cannot even use *2017-07-28, version 1.0* I know you keep sharing the website to watch a how-to video on how to install it, but I cannot even get that website to work. Can you not just give us directions? ### 1/5 — Tell Me How to Remove This Completely *2017-07-28, version 1.0* This app is very sneaky, and it's not clear at all how one can remove it entirely. Tell me how to remove it ALTOGETHER and I will change this from one to three stars. ### 1/5 — Still unable to locate *2017-07-28, version 1.0* After following instructions, I still can't find it. Obviously I won't be using it. ### 1/5 — Where is it??? *2017-04-04, version 1.0* Got the app Can't find the app iTunes says I have the app Can't delete the app Won't be using the app UPDATE April 4, 2017: Ditto for all I said before. Just received an email from Apple stated I received a response from the developer of this app (in the App Store). Checked in with the App Store only to find I received no such reply. I still feel this app is not worth a crap. Can't find the app, can't delete the app, won't be using the app! **Developer response:** Please see http://howto.textmess.ooo for instructions on how to enable Text Mess inside iMessage ### 1/5 — Me *2017-03-04, version 1.0* Not intuitive. Can't find the app after it was installed and used one time. Not in app list. Unable to use and unable to delete the app. Yet listed as installed. Unable to delete the one figure I created. **Developer response:** Hi, Please see http://howto.textmess.ooo for instructions on how to find the app. Once this resolves your issue kindly reconsider your star rating. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Too Frustrating *2017-02-12, version 1.0* I'm giving it one star because zero isn't an option. It is not at all intuitive and the instructions to find it are vague at best. Since you can't find it to use it you can't find it to uninstall it either. Unless you're an iPhone genius, skip this. **Developer response:** Please see http://howto.textmess.ooo for a video on how you can install and enable iMessage apps like Text Mess. Once you are able to use it please reconsider your rating and review Thanks ### 1/5 — Does not work *2017-02-12, version 1.0* App does not work. Program says it's installed, but I cannot located the app on my phone. I also checked in the list of installed apps and it's not there. At this point i cannot run or delete the app. **Developer response:** Please see http://howto.textmess.ooo iMessage applications like Text Mess are found inside the Messages app once you enable them from the iMessage store as show in the link above. Once you are able to enjoy Text Mess, please reconsider your review and rating Thanks ### 2/5 — Can't remove logo/watermark *2017-07-28, version 1.0* Each image sends with a TextMess logo on a paid app. Blah option to remove it with paid app please!!! ### 3/5 — Fun, But Limited *2019-11-02, version 1.0* The app functions well, but has limitations. 1) Color palettes selection is very limited and you can’t create your own — so this is not for creating anything that needs to stay on-brand 2) This is the BIG Issue — images have hideous white background. I would use this more if the resulting images were png’s with transparent backgrounds. — Then I could text to myself to use in other apps, like Canva or Spark. Overall, the app works as described. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Question *2020-12-25, version 1.0* There’s no way to contact the developer from the app or AppStore listing. Safari can’t find the server. Hopefully I will get an answer here. I’d like to delete most of my creations. How do I do that without deleting and reinstalling Text Mess? ******************* I like many others have unfairly given Text Mess and other iMessage only apps low ratings. Apple did a nice job promoting this new functionality for iMessage but a poor job educating users how this new class of stand alone iMessage only Apps differ from standard Apps that include the iMessage feature. For example there’s no icon, no results in a Spotlight Search and it can’t be found in Notifications. That leads to a panic response and the need to delete the invisible App lurking in our devices. I still haven’t looked into how to delete iMessage only apps if I wanted to. As far as Text Mess is concerned, it’s unique among Apps and works well. I’ve had many people ask me about pictures sent from Text Mess. It’s certainly worthy of 5 stars. **Developer response:** Hi, Please see http://howto.textmess.ooo for instructions on how to find Text Mess. Unlike normal apps, iMessage applications are found inside the "Messages" app. Further, you need to enable the app from the iMessage app store as shown in the video here -http://howto.textmess.ooo. Thanks, once you are able to find and use Text Mess kindly reconsider your star rating. ### 5/5 — AwEsOmE ApP! *2018-08-10, version 1.0* It’s my new favorite app. Now I can deliver personalized messages with a creative twist! ### 5/5 — Awesome pointless fun! *2017-05-20, version 1.0* This seemingly simple messaging add-on is a ton of fun. And infinitely configurable. (Pay no attention to the one-star reviews. This is an iMessage app, not a regular iPhone app. Therefore, there is no app icon. You have to go in to iMessage to use it. Apple coule make this clearer...) A+++++++++ would buy again. ### 5/5 — Absolutely Love It! *2017-02-14, version 1.0* Finally something I can enjoy without having to install a stupid keyboard! My only wish is to please add a "popcorn 🍿" shape 😬 Great app you won't regret installing it! ### 5/5 — Nifty! Brings your texts to life *2017-01-29, version 1.0* What a fun way to engage in a text chat with friends. Compared to other sticker packs this one adds exceptional depth and quality to your otherwise usual text / emoji conversation. Totally worth the purchase! ### 5/5 — Loving it! *2017-01-26, version 1.0* Fantastic concept! Finally something new and refreshing, a positive change - was bored of the standard emoticons. I can express myself way better! Also, who cares about the extra step? With finger touch it hardly matters. Care more about creativity . ### 5/5 — Super fun and precise way to communicate *2017-01-25, version 1.0* I do not like texting much. Textmess made it easy, and fun for me. It is a very colorful and descriptive way to convey precise and effective messages. Fun when used in groups ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-01-16, version 1.0* Super cool app. With many shapes and fonts, it's a great way to send message stickers to family and friends! :) ### 5/5 — So cool! *2017-01-16, version 1.0* This is such a great idea! Its like creating personalized art with a click of a button. I can imagine putting some of these up on the wall. The user experience is also really straightforward and easy to use. Love it! ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2017-01-16, version 1.0* I can't stop making word clouds! Can you add instagram filters too?
