Pre-release

THIS IS A PRE-RELEASE

Only download this build if you would like to try out cutting edge features/changes, or would like to help us out by testing for stability. We've made major changes to the backend of the app in the name of optimizing and creating a smoother overall experience. As such, when you first open the app, it will need to migration to the new database. We are hoping this is a 100% smooth process, but that's exactly why we need as many testers as we can get to make sure it's rock-solid. On the plus side, I think you'll all be happy with the changes we've made

Main Changes

  • Complete database migration & rework to make user-experience much smoother
    • This means a less laggy app!
  • Samsung Theme (Beta)
  • A toggle for sending texts using the Private API (if enabled). This should make sending much faster if you are on using Private API features
  • Tons of bug fixes!
