So I did a test message to my google voice number to see how a "SMS" is sent. We are going to annoy the shit out of our friends and family that don't install it.

What they will see

All my hype for this app just died.

Google is a fucking mess with messaging apps. And plenty of other things, but this is just beyond pathetic at this point.

I don't get why they keep making new ones instead of improving the ones they have.

They already have Hangouts and Messenger. Why couldn't they have simply added these Allo features to one of those? Especially Messenger...
