Sets itself apart with simplicity, zero ads, and an efficient search function, making it better than most mainstream apps. However, can't open new incoming SMS from notifications. Tapping on notification does nothing. Have to access new sms by first opening app. Addressing this issue would enhance the overall user experience. It is the best. I really like the interface. Will be using it for a long time. Fixing the bug will earn it 5 stars and premium purchase. I wish there was YAATA dialer.

Yaata is an overall fantastic texting app. My only wish is that you could load a custom ringtone directly in the app, and not just pick from the system sounds. (Yaata uses the system "notification" sound, not the "message" sound. Being able to customize it in the app would solve the problem.) Full disclosure: I'm on a OnePlus 8.

Extraordinary app. I've been looking for a texting app that gives me the control over how my texting app looks and this app exceeds my profound expectations. While Samsung and Apple are to busy constraining and removing features from their texting apps this app excels in giving users the ability to define their own app screen. Additionally, it's fast and responsive; however, there is a slight hesitation/stuttering when scrolling through a conversation that contains photos, gifs..etc but it's very minor and in no way interferes with the usability or function this app earns my 5 star rating.
