Mudita Kompakt review: my experience as a smartphone veteran

Mudita Products

As you might infer from others’ and my earlier posts, some of us cannot give the Kompakt SMS app 10/10 now.

Although I remain hopeful that Mudita will soon eliminate these deficiencies, the SMS app today lacks these BASICS:

  1. No ability to start a message to a group
  2. No ability to see a list of participants in a group message
  3. No ability to block incoming messages from those not on the contacts list
  4. No ability to combine a photo with text (must be sent separately)
  5. No ability to shoot a photo to send in a message (must already exist in gallery)

USA-based cellular carriers typically include unlimited texting on almost all plans, and this includes both SMS and MMS.

I live in the USA and received the Global-optimized Kompakt 14 days ago. Deficiencies #1 and #2 were obvious right away, given that we use group messaging here daily.

I suspect that most other USA-based Kompakt customers ordered, unlike me, the North America-optimized version, so I am like the canary in the coal mine with respect to group messaging.

Mudita should anticipate a firestorm of complaints from USA-based customers who receive the North America-optimized Kompakt, if Mudita has not addressed #1 and #2 by the time that they receive their Kompakt cellphones.
