New Year SMS 1.0
Simplistic UI with few features
You wouldn’t expect such messaging apps to have a complicated UI or too many features, so New Year SMS comes with a simplistic interface that only features a list of messages that you can share or send as texts.
It doesn’t come with any instructions, but you’d hardly need them seeing how the app is easy-to-use and new users shouldn’t face any trouble with it. Still, a tutorial would have been nice as many apps come with user tips and instructions. There’s no side menu, but you can access some features under the icon on top right corner of the screen.
Send nice New Year texts to contacts
All messages are neatly arranged into separate sections, so you would find them easier, but the app doesn’t come with a search bar. You can find messages to send to your significant other, colleagues, friends or family.
There are also categories with romantic, cute, funny or inspirational messages. You’d also find messages for your Facebook or WhatsApp status or texts for the Chinese or Hindi New Year. The quotes for New Year’s category is filled with inspiring quotes you can send. However, the app doesn’t mention the author.
Some shortcomings
All you need to do in order to send texts is to simply tap on them and hit copy/share. You can copy the text onto your phone’s clipboard and then paste it to a message. There’s also the option of sharing texts on social networks if you wish.
Make changes to the message and then send it to your loved ones. All in all, the app is filled with all sorts of messages for New Year’s and their number is quite impressive. But the app comes with annoying banner ads displayed at the bottom of the screen.
The pop-up ads are actually more annoying than the banner ones, because they come with a delay and trick you into opening them.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The interface could really use an upgrade, one that would be more festive and suitable for such an app. |
Function7
It works just fine, it’s filled with all sorts of messages you can send to your loved ones, but it should have come with more features. |

It won’t pose any privacy or security risks so you don’t have to worry about that. |
Battery4
Consumption is really high, so make sure to keep a charge nearby when using this app. |
Price7
It comes with annoying banner and pop-up ads and there’s no option of removing them from the screen. |
Compatibility8
It should work just fine on devices running Android version 2.3 – 5.0 making it accessible to many users. |
The content is nice and useful, but the interface could use some more work.
