We’re making texting magical again. QKSMS is the most beautiful messaging
experience you’ve ever used. Replace your stock messaging app and fall in love
texting all over again.

Dual-SIM and Multi-SIM phones are now fully supported by QKSMS!

'''Clean:''' A beautiful, intuitive, and clutter-free design that allows you to
focus on what matters.

'''Customizable:''' Use any of the millions of colors to theme the entire app,
or any particular conversation. Per-contact notifications allow you to easily
prioritize and distinguish your messages. Manual and automatic night mode are
great too.

'''Powerful:''' Use MMS to share photos, stickers, or join your friends in a
group chat. Conversation search allows you to find things easier than ever.

'''Private:''' Easily block conversations and manage your blacklist, or
automatically filter out spam with Should I Answer? integration.

'''Convenient:''' Reply to your messages from anywhere using the QK Reply popup,
your Wear OS (Android Wear) watch, or directly from your notification shade
(Android 7.0+)

'''Accessibility:''' High contrast black theme, and full support for TalkBack
and Samsung Voice Assistant.

We love hearing what you have to say, so always feel free to let us know
whenever you have any feedback or suggestions!

'''AntiFeatures:'''

Since some update brought in several non-free libraries, we had to add some
AntiFeatures, such as

* ''NonFreeNet:'' Google BillingClient, PlayStore
* ''NonFreeDep:'' requires PlayStore app on the device for some actions
* ''Tracking:'' uses the Play Install Referrer Library, which on-install / on-update automatically opens a connection to Google to report the install/update
