It was almost a year ago we told you guys you about Sliding Messaging, a unique SMS application for Android devices that introduced a Google Talk-like slide out navigation menu, used for quickly switching between conversations. The idea was great, no denying that. But as we mentioned in our original post, there were just a few bugs that kept us from using Sliding Messaging as our go-to SMS app.
Fast forward to today where the same developers — who just so happen to be the guys behind Talon, which we told you about earlier today — are once again heading back to the drawing board, this time coming up with an all new SMS app dubbed EvolveSMS. According to the developers, they were in too deep and there were just some issues with Sliding Messaging they couldn’t quite stomp out. So, they decided to scrap the app entirely, taking the best ideas of Sliding Messaging — the slide-out conversation view — and introducing it into a new SMS app built from the ground up.
With a goal to deliver “everything that Google didn’t give us in Hangouts”, EvolveSMS is simply meant to be lightweight, simple to use, feature packed, and most importantly — beautiful. You’ll notice EvolveSMS features KitKat’s transparent status and nav bars, along with blurred out cover photos ala Google Wallet/Google+. The app supports themes, emoji, group SMS, password protection,
EvolveSMS is free to download with the “Customization Pack” (themes, layout, etc.) unlockable via an in-app purchase, along with the “Feature Pack” (blacklisting, individual notifications, etc.) which runs $1.50. Not too shabby considering thi is probably the most feature SMS app currently available on Android. Great work, Klinker Apps.
