"We pay as much attention to detail in building QKSMS as you would in texting a crush after your first date." If a stock text messaging app replacement starts its description like this, one ought to listen.
QKSMS is a new kid on the busy block of app replacements for your usually annoying stock texting app that comes either with Android (Hangouts), or as a part of a manufacturer overlay like TouchWiz or Sense. Needless to say, QKSMS features a trendy look that is in sync with Google's newest Material Design guidelines, and, if you pay for the QKSMS+ version, you will get access to over 150 different themes to choose from, instead of the 19 pieces in the free version of the app.
Theming is only part of the QKSMS equation, as there are also night mode, group texts, quick replies, you name it - everything that makes a great text messaging app, and then some. The quick reply function is the one to focus on here, as the incoming message pops up as a small widget, allowing you to shoot a brief comeback immediately, and even attach pics and files with it.

Your contacts appear as pretty chatheads in a circle, as is the modern requirement, and there are thankully no ads, even in the free version, and the developers, who are updating the app on a pretty regular basis, swear there never will be. Give QKSMS a shot from the source link below, if it has piqued your interest, and tell us what you think about it.
