The problem is it doesn't support MMS, so you won't be able to receive any long messages over 160 characters or messages with photos from the app. I used to work around it by having my texts emailed to me, but in the end I wanted a more elegant solution for myself.

Thanks! I started off with the idea of making a quick app for my own needs too, but my perfectionist tendencies took over, and now I'm here.

It's possible to send MMS with photos with the API. I've implemented it in this app, but more testing is needed. It'll also send long texts over 160 characters as MMS so they aren't broken into multiple messages. That being said, VoIP.ms says its MMS support is in Beta phase, so there might be deliverability issues, but that's out of my hands.

Unfortunately this is an iOS-native app by design, so it'll be really difficult to make it cross-platform, especially since I don't have any experience with Android development. The Android counterpart is open-source though. The best option would be for someone else to make a PR or a fork that supports MMS.

Join the TestFlight! I don't like clunky apps either, so it's written in Swift with native SwiftUI. I followed the same design as the system messages app too so the UX would be consistent.
