About SMS Popup

*NEW: Improved support for Android 4.4 KitKat. However - deleting messages and marking messages as read from the popup is no longer possible in Android 4.4 KitKat.
*NEW: Improved support for when Hangouts is set as your SMS app (it does not work with regular Hangouts messages)

SMS Popup provides a convenient popup dialog when a message is received that allows you to quickly read and reply to messages. It also provides in-depth customization of message notifications including contact specific sound, vibrate and LED settings.

NOTE: SMS Popup does mark message as "read" - if the notification tray icon does not disappear, make sure you disable the system messaging app notifications and use SMS Popup's notifications instead. Please see FAQ for more information.

Full feature list:
-convenient popup window on incoming message
-quickly reply, delete or close the message
-built-in "quick reply" for even faster messaging directly from popup window
-have your messages read to you using text-to-speech
-reply to messages using the system voice recognition
-customize notifications including sound, vibrate pattern, LED color (if available) and notification icon
-also customize notifications for individual contacts
-setup notification reminders (repeating notifications if you miss the first one)
-optional privacy mode to hide sender name and message contents

I have had this app for over 2 years now & everything was amazing! perfect I could say. Up until now sometimes the pop up msg deletes my text msgs before I even read them or when I close the pop up to see later but when I go to the actual text app they are gone from there too. I have missed quite a few important text from work & personal because of this bug (I almost didn't make it to a meeting because the pop deleted the text my boss send with time and place of meeting.) Please put a setting that doesn't allow this app to delete any messages.

On a Note 8 this app works only intermittently. Can not relybon it for recieving text messages. Maybe its Android 7.1, don't know. Also...would be good to be able to turn on message notifications at the top of the screen like the Samsungs Messages app does by default. So easy and quick to reply that way. Not just have the pop-ups off and on. I don't have the pop-ups active but would like to see the message in the notification panel.

This app WAS great - until a bunch of old texts now also popup when a new text comes through. Ugh. So frustrating. PLEASE FIX!! This app is great. On my Samsung S8 I couldn't get my messaging app's pop-up to work correctly. SMS Pop-up was the answer!! It's clean, simple and works flawlessly. Thanks!

Used to love that incoming messages could be identified by setting different LED colors to individual contacts! However, this feature does not seem to work with the note 8?? I've tried everything!! Is there a fix for this issue? If so, I'll happily update to 5 stars!!

Love this app, all sms apps have issues with repeat notification, I have missed too many texts in the past, this one works. One huge request, and I would pay for it, is to have your pop up appear even when on a phone call. I just missed a very important text message because I was on a call, and the little icon in the bar is not noticeable enough.

While I still use this app and generally like it, the app can be a bit unreliable. I believe it's because it needs to be updated to work more smoothly with the later versions of Android.

PLEASE MAKE IT WORK! Why won't the "unread" number go away?! I go in to try to customize.... And it freezes closes and I get an error that the app has stopped working..... I used to swear by this app, please, please, PLEASE... fix it? - a VERY frustrated person -.-

Works ok on galaxy s8. Clicking close doesn't mark messages as read even though I have the option enabled. Otherwise seems to work better than all the others I've tried.

Update. This no longer consistently works. Most of the time the notifications disappear before I see them. They will reappear days later after I've missed an important text.

Q70%
by Q####:

I love this app but I have one gripe. When I receive 1 message, it always say 2 new unread messages in the pull down bar. If I recieve 2 messages, it says there are 3 unread messages. Basically it always says +1 the amount of messages I really have, so I can never just read the message in the down bar because I have to click it to open the messages app to view it.

This app does a lot, but the customized vibration patterns by contact is what makes this a great app for me. I had this on my GS6 and lost it when I switched carriers, very happy I found it again.

Y70%

Doesn't work as expected on Lollipop: everything works great except that it's absolutely impossible to make custom notifications per contact. The app automatically returns to the main screen when trying to customize the notification... too bad, that was this specific function I needed. As there doesn't seem to be any update anymore, I have no choice but uninstall.
