Wait, What? A countdown timer, what’s this? Have you ever sent a text to someone and noticed an embarrassing auto-correct error? Textra allows you to set up a little timer that counts down before the text is actually sent and allows you to stop the timer giving you the option to save your bacon and fix that error before you let it get out of control. A bonus feature for me is a small countdown timer before the text is actually sent. For me it’s the ability to schedule texts, dual SIM support and the ability to add shortcuts to your favourite and most contacted contacts. Why would you want to switch to a non-stock text app. What do you want from a text app, it’s not like you are going to be texting all your friends, you’re more than likely using Whatsapp or Messenger. There are a lot of SMS apps out there and the one that comes with your phone I’m sure suits most people. I love it so much I bought it to remove the ads, even though I don’t recall that the ads were too bad. I haven’t counted all the themes or even blocked any texts but I love this SMS app. I haven’t tried all of it’s options since I don’t have an Android watch and don’t use Pushbullet. The authors think so highly of it that they say “ It’s pretty special try it, tell your friends, shout from the treetops, but most of all enjoy it.“ Does the App REALLY do what it claims to do? compatibility with Pushbullet, Android wear and Mighty Text.

The first thing they claim is “ Want a beautiful, super fast and highly customizable alternative to your stock Android messaging app?“. The Play store is very brief and skimpy on the details of this app but let’s run through the highlights. Have you ever pressed send on an SMS only to realise that you’ve made a horrible and embarrassing spelling mistake? Have you wanted to send that important text at midnight to your close friend or lover who would kill you if they were woken up with a text? Do you hate that you can’t change the colour and theme of your current SMS app? If you do, read on.
