Look, I'm not gonna lie, the setup for Connect SMS Home Screen was a little wonky – the tutorial is useless, but once you figure it out, it gets the job done. I can see who texted me and what they said without even unlockin' my phone. That's huge when I'm wearin' gloves or up on a ladder. Battery life takes a hit, gotta admit, but it's worth it to not miss important messages about material deliveries or schedule changes. It's actually rugged too; I've dropped my phone a couple times already and the app still works fine. I wouldn't say it's 'built like a brick house' exactly, but it's held up so far. Rain doesn't seem to mess with it either, which is a plus here in Denver. No fluff, gets the job done.
