Messages

Messenger from Google might be the perfect substitute for Google Hangouts. While many do like Hangouts, this next Google text messaging app for Android has the potential to truly grow a huge base of fans in time. Those interested in sending MMS or SMS message to any -- yes, any! -- phone can do so with this exceptional app.

Drawbacks do exist with this messaging app. VOIP and internet messaging are not supported which, in turn, limits the app's uses.

The user interface is designed well and not difficult to operate. Managing and blocking contacts is quite simple on the interface.
