We tested most of the SMS apps on the Play Store and while there’s no dearth of great SMS apps, these are the best according to us.

Various third party SMS apps on the Play Store bring a lot more to the table like device sync, customization options, better notifications and more. The default SMS app on stock Android and other custom skins (TouchWiz, Sense etc.) work well but they are boring and don’t bring anything cool or unique.
