If you're looking for a way to use iMessage on Android, this is in my experience the most reliable way to do it. (Aside from maybe Beeper, but I'm on the waiting list) Setting up your Mac can be a real challenge depending on how new it is. I have an old Mac Mini running High Sierra, so I had to install HomeBrew, then CloudFlare's tunnel software didn't work on my ancient Mac, so I used ngrok. Ngrok was its own challenge. But now it is absolutely rock solid and is almost a perfect replacement.

So far, so good! First of all, the app looks and feels like iMessage, and the private API features really add to that as well. Second, the setup process was somewhat confusing, especially with the Google Notifications, since I did run into a few errors. However, once set up, it has been working flawlessly. I set up the server on a Mac Mini I got from Facebook Marketplace, and I just leave it running, and I don't have to ever touch it.

This app is incredible, not only for its primary function, but for all the customization options as well. Could you please add a feature for sorting contacts into groups in the main chat list? EDIT: In the sense that when you open the app, instead of all your recent contacts showing up altogether, you have like just a few Groups like "Work" and then you click it and see all texts you've sorted into "Work" or like a group called "Buddies" that includes only your closest friends, for example.

Very Dependable! BUT PLEASE ADD THE OPTION TO ATTACH A PHOTO TO A NEW MESSAGE! Update (dev responded within minutes of posting)! I have updated my original 4 star review to 5 stars for the impeccable response time from the developer. The workaround is to start a new conversation, click on the send button with an empty message (it won't actually send anything), and you now have access to the photos and camera buttons! Thank you for the quick response on the workaround!!

This app is crazy!! The ammount of stuff you can do made me decide to keep my android, since my friends basically stopped messaging me once I switched from my iPhone. This app is 95% reliable and I have ALL of my most important conversations on there. The other 5% has to do with troubleshooting and hoops you need to jump through to get it to work. Setup takes a minute, but it's mostly a set it and forget it kind of deal. The devs are SUPER helpful on the discord server.

This app and its mission are ambitious and amazing. Now that I have it set up, I basically have iMessage on my s21. However, it did take time to setup, and some issues occurred during that process. The developers on the discord, though, were absolutely fantastic in helping me and anyone else with issues. I was thinking of getting airmessage but this support and the ability for features like tapback made me choose Bluebubbles, and I'm happy with my decision. Difficultish setup but worth it. 4.5/5

Wonderful app, many advanced features and a customizable user interface. Everything you could want (except SMS) in a messenger. I do have a couple gripes but that mainly falls on Flutter, the framework for the app, and it is out of the developers' control. People who give this a bad review clearly don't know how iMessage works. It is clear the BlueBubbles team clearly put a lot of effort into their app and continue to improve it with many more features. I even have it working with docker!

Needed to text with iMessage with a few people, yet I really prefer pixel phones over iPhones for so many reasons. This app has a huge barrier to entry because you need to have a Mac mini and leave it running 24/7. The setup on the Mac mini takes an hour or two. All of that being said, once the Mac mini and this app are up and running, it works really well! The Android software is some of the best text software out there! I was able to buy a Mac mini with Catalina for $80 on eBay.
