QKSMS is an excellently designed app  with an attractive interface and a good feature list  all adorned with the benefit of being open-source! Unfortunately  my experience has failed to live up to my hopes  not because of its design  but because of its performance. QKSMS's interface seems to be very laggy and unstable. It will frequently hang for several seconds  or become confused and take me where I wasn't expecting to go. I often have to set my phone down for a few seconds to let the app sort itself out  before I try and navigate back to where I actually wanted to be. It will occasionally close the keyboard without obvious cause  or boot me back to the conversation list while typing a message. Additionally  it doesn't seem to have good MMS support; all of my MMS messages have timestamps from 1970 in the conversation view and all appear at the bottom - despite the fact that long-pressing an MMS message gives a perfectly fine timestamp. I'd love to love QKSMS  but it doesn't seem to love me back. It would be my daily driver if not for the sad bugginess.
