Just received this text from the Textra team...

quote:

We hope you love Textra and have enjoyed using it for free. However after 3 years of developing Textra with no income, we now need some help from you so that we can continue to improve it even more.

Within the next day or so, you'll be asked to either continue for free with ads or upgrade to Pro (no ads).

Your support makes a big difference to us, so thank you for your understanding.


This is BS. Existing users should be grandfathered in. Looks like I'm going to try a different text platform.

So you should get something for nothing and the creators of the app should just work for free ? Entitlement people like you fricking suck.

I will pay the $3-$5 for the pro and not think twice.

I have never had a problem paying a couple dollars for an app that I like.

Geez, it's still free, just supported by ads.

It sounds like you are getting great value from the app. Treat the developers like you would like to be treated.... ie, let them earn a living.

ETA: MJ has no idea what this app is.

textra has been so great for the android platform (IMO, anyway). they helped me survive the pre group-text capable era of android.

the least I can do is to support them and help ensure their survival.

Do you use this as a replacement to your normal text messages or is it something else?

Download the Google Rewards app, fill out some surveys, then use the credits you've earned to upgrade to Pro. Everyone wins.

I just had to get rid of Textra. I don't know what happened, but MMS is virtually non existent. It was so fricking annoying I just uninstalled and went back to native messaging. I loved Textra when it worked though.

I will probably use Google Rewards or search for another. I like Textra but I don't stay long on all apps. I like to cycle through every few months to see if any others have upped their game.

Same here. MMS just completely crapped out.
