Top Third-Party SMS Apps For Android Smartphones

Kitkat is the best iteration of Android till date. It looks way more polished compared to the previous versions. Moreover, it comes with some neat features such as Google Now. However, there are changes that aren't appreciated by some users. For instance, Google's Hangouts is now a default SMS app. The problem with Hangouts is that the app complicates the process of sending a simple text message by adding some fancy online features. So if you want to get back to the familiar way of messaging, here are some third-party apps.
