#1 Message 3.4
For Windows Phone users, a dedicated utility that comes equipped with a wide variety of tools and rich content is the one that goes by the name of #1 Message.
Clean look and well organized layout
The application offers a neat GUI with some well designed graphics throughout the interface. The content is neatly structured under several relevant categories, which makes it really easy to access.
Browsing the numerous sections of the utility is done with relative ease, as there are some slightly visible delays when loading the content from some areas of the app.
Make texts look cool, generate art and templates
#1 Message includes a neat set of tools that are meant to help you give a really original look to the lines you want to send, by adding various effects or transforming the input into ASCII art with a couple of taps.
To put together some templates of your own, you have at your disposal the "Creative Studio" section of the application and all the content you create in there (or in other areas of the application) can be shared with ease.
Pick the preferred art and text templates and send messages on the go
An advantage of using this app is the good diversity of templates it provides in the dedicated section. Thus, you have at your disposal several types of ASCII art messages and also a good deal of preformatted text messages that are also structured into a wide variety of categories.
When opening any of the entries from the comprehensive database you will be able to send them immediately as SMS or email messages, post them on social networks or add them to the custom reminders section that is also part of the toolkit.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
This application comes with a decent aspect and has some tidy graphics from end to end, so it scores good points from the visual perspective, where the only visible hindrance comes from the delays in opening some modules of #1 Message. |
Function10
If the diversity of content provided by default may seem not enough to some users, the built-in tools that enable them to create their own, original messages is sure to convince anyone. |
Security6
There are too many secure areas of the system where sensitive data is stored that this app needs to look into for no good reason, so it should be used with extra care. |
Battery7
The battery usage peaks at high levels at times while this application is running, as the power consumption is quite significant. |
Price10
Overall a very good tool to have at hand, #1 Message offers a lot of features and ready-made content, so it has an excellent value. |
Compatibility8
The utility is prepared to function correctly on more modern handsets, namely those that have Windows Phone 8 or above installed. |
