Hi. I wanted to replace my stock SMS app and was wondering which app is likely more suitable for use. Fossify is receiving more development and is more light weight yet most people that I’ve seen recommend QKSMS as it has more features. Any opinions? Thanks.
There’s a fork of QK called QUIK if you like that app but want something more updated. I personally use fossify though.
QKSMS has less active development but I don’t think that’s an issue as it works well as is. I haven’t dug too deeply into the more advanced stuff but I’ve yet to have any issues with it.
Partisan-SMS was abandoned. If I remember correctly (hope not saying something false), devs explain why they pull out of the project on github. I cant find where they said it, but: https://github.com/moezbhatti/qksms/issues/1970#issuecomment-1763438102
Fossify has search so I’ll be switching to that probably. People get annoyed when I ask them stuff they already told me.
Just to thow in the mix. I think QKSMS is dead, or atleast rarely updated.
Another fork is providing updates via https://github.com/octoshrimpy/quik
I still use QKSMS coz I CBF migrating till i get a new phone.
So it seems qksms isn’t being maintained, but also I’ve been using it since signal dropped sms support, and it’s been zero problems for me
