Best SMS 1.0
For those who prefer to save some time that they would otherwise spend looking for these messages on various websites, some dedicated applications have been created and Windows Phone users can try the one suggestively called Best SMS.
Cool interface, with a well nice layout
This utility comes with a neat set of graphics inside, as it features some appealing images on the tiles set against a well designed background. The content is fairly well structured and the messages are grouped under relevant categories to make them easy to browse and access.
On the downside, the advertisements are really intrusive and appear both as flashing banners and in full screen, with a quite high frequency. Also, a prompt to rate the app appears when selecting a text to share or copy and only by visiting the respective page will you be able to unlock the full functionality of the utility.
Find the most appropriate messages and send them in a jiffy
Best SMS has two dozen categories waiting for you to go through and pick the texts you find to be the most interesting and suitable for the occasion. The range of message types includes all sorts of holidays and situations in which you might want to share some thoughts with people you know.
When selecting a message you will be presented with two options, namely one for sharing the content and the other for copying it to the clipboard with a single tap.
Distributing the message can be done in several ways, not only via SMS, so you have the possibility to send an email or post the text onto your account on the social networks you subscribed to.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The looks of this app are quite good, with the nice wallpapers and tile graphics, but the very pushy adverts that appear o the whole screen and also as animated banners spoil the experience quite a lot. |
Function8
There are a lot of messages included inside Best SMS for each of the listed categories and they can be send or copied easily, but asking for a rating in order to make this possible takes away some points. |
Security5
There are just too many areas of the system in which this utility requires access, so users should handle it with extra care. |
Battery3
The extreme power consumption of this application will drain the battery so fast that users will not have enough time to checkout all the messages it includes in its database. |
Price7
The app provides a good deal of content free of cost, but asking for a rating in exchange for unlocking the share and copy functions and the presence of the pesky ads decrease its overall value quite a bit. |
Compatibility8
Best SMS is made to run on the more recent handsets, namely those that are powered by Windows Phone 8 and above. |
