InkMessage — Community App Review
Version: v0.0.4

From the developer:

InkMessage is a cleaned UI for E-ink based on QUIK messages. It focuses on high contrast and simplicity suitable for E-ink displays, while retaining the powerful features of its predecessors. It is a fork of QUIK, which itself is a continuation of QKSMS.

Features:
Optimized for E-ink: High contrast interface and simplified visuals.
Black and white theme throughout
Incoming messages solid black border, white background.
Outgoing messages thinner, dashed border - a real delight.
Smarter message sorting — groups organized cleanly, unknown numbers separated
New modern themed audio player, not that tragic one before with a png nof waves in the background.
Clearer thumbnail images, that’s how Mudita’s works
Copy + forward full messages
Scheduled Messages
Message Backup
Message Blocking and Archiving
Voice Messages
Attachments of any type of file
Message Sorting
Delayed Sending

From me:
I love this app. It was transformative in being able to message people effectively. I like the layout/interface and functionality. The biggest thing was that it supports more mms formats, including video previews and mms audio files. The audio mms is important as I have premium voicemail through my service provider so I don’t have to worry about logging into my voicemail service to listen to new messages. It also has backup options and message scheduling.

Review for version v0.0.4
User rating: ★★★★★

I’ve been using this as my default messenger now for a few months. While I appreciate the minimalism of the built in SMS app, there’s just too many inconveniences when receiving videos and links, or when I want to send one text with multiple images AND text—all things I can do in InkMessage.
