swype

Doesn't look like Hangouts has popup notifications.... or am I overlooking it?

That's my issue, there's some third party programs that will show lock screen previews for hangouts, but all the ones I've tried sucked dick

swype

touchpal ftw!!!

I ended up buying the app to get rid of the ads... Give Textra a shot.

Hangouts here as well. Really haven't tried anything else but I've been pretty happy with it. Can't remember what app I was using with my old Galaxy S2 but I liked the fact that I could schedule a text to go out later but can't do that with Hangouts.

What's wrong with just using the stock text feature?

What's wrong with just using the stock text feature?

Wasn't a fan of how it handled mms on my s3....it opened picture attachments as a slide show. That's when I switched. Haven't looked back since.

Initially switched to go sms pro for years, now I'm using Textra. I just can't seem to make myself like Hangouts. Seems too heavy of an app. It's a little slower than the others on my Note 4.

How does an app feel heavy?

My interaction with the app just feels much more laggy then the other two apps I mentioned. I guess I just describe it as an "overweight" app.
