Remember when text messaging was like magic?QKSMS (pronounced Q-K-S-M-S) brings a refreshingly modern, beautiful and responsive touch to the stale state of text messaging. In a world with clunky default messaging apps and dated alternatives, QKSMS is something to get excited about. We’re making texting magical again.
We pay as much attention to detail in building QKSMS as you would in texting a crush after your first date: you’ll be making sure all your emojis and punctuation are in the right place, and we’ll be making sure you love every second of it.
Try QKSMS right now: Tap “Install” above.

FAQ
Q: This is incredible! I love you so much!
This isn’t a question, silly! But we love you too. Since we love you so much, we have a few nice features available for purchase! If you upgrade to QKSMS+, you’ll get:
* Theming upgrade: Over 150 additional colors!
* Automatic night mode: Automatically change to night mode at night time.
Q: Why isn’t MMS working?
MMS can be tricky to set up. QKSMS tries to auto-select settings for you, but if it doesn’t work try searching your carrier’s APN settings, and entering them in Settings > Advanced.

Q: Why does this look so similar to Textra?
Textra and QKSMS both follow the newly-released Material guidelines. [1] Additionally, QKSMS actually had the beautiful Material look long before Textra, as you can see in the announcement for Textra’s design update, [2] and by looking at this album of QKSMS mocks from June, months before the Textra design update. [3] Lastly, QKSMS still sets itself apart by paying closer attention to detail in transitions, animations, and visual design!
