The Quest for “iMessage” on Android Part 2 – MySMS Review
After writing part one, I got some tips on apps from readers and forum users that I should try that worked out great for them. One app that was brought up multiple times was an app called, MySMS. I went to the Play Store and checked out what the description to see what it offered. Based on what I read, MySMS seemed to offer a solid solution for getting iMessage-style messaging on Android, and heck, with multiple people suggesting it, I had to give it a shot. The aspect that stood out the most was the simplicity of the app, but a question burned in my mind: “Would this ‘simplicity’ provide a truly seamless messaging experience or a disjointed mess?”

Though this feature isn’t enough to drive me back to the iPhone, it was still driving me crazy trying to figure out how to recreate it on Android; more specifically, why Google hasn’t implemented a unified messaging solution with Google Talk and SMS. After weeks of searching and trying many alternatives, I managed to find a solution to the answer with GO SMS Pro, but does it live up to the real deal?
