Google Messenger For Android Review

A few months back, Google released an SMS app, simply called Messenger. It came default on the Nexus 6 and Android 5.0 Lollipop, and is on the Play Store. A very simple, and clean messaging application, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a replacement to their current SMS app. 

This application is what I believe Hangouts should have been. The styling is great, and each contact has their own color thread based on their contact picture, or randomly chosen if no contact picture is available. You can also change the theme of any thread to any color you wish. 

Following Material Design, you're sure to love the look and feel of this SMS application, with its animations, shadows, and again, its simple layout. Sending a picture resembles Facebook's Messenger application, which is a nice touch. If you were expecting more, I'm sorry but there isn't much left to say about this app, as it is such a simple application. It get's the job done, and does it very aesthetically. 

I can go on and on about how this is what hangouts should have been but I'll save that for a later date. 

Thanks for reading!!
