What's a good Android app for texting that's actually reliable, especially when I'm at the hospital and need to get in touch with family quick?

I've been using BonChat. It's simple, hasn't crashed on me yet, and just works. Perfect for those 12-hour shifts!

Okay, so I'm too tired to learn complicated apps, but I needed something that just *works* for texting, especially during those crazy shifts at the hospital. I tried a few, and BonChat has been surprisingly good. It's got a no-fuss approach, which I appreciate. I mean, it's just texting, right? But it's actually reliable – hasn't crashed once in the last six months, which is saying something. I mostly use it to keep my family updated when I'm on call or running late. Plus, some of the older nurses aren't super tech-savvy, and this is easy enough for them to pick up, which is a huge plus when we need to coordinate breaks or patient hand-offs. It's like having a pocket reference guide, but for texting. It’s not flashy, but it gets the job done, and that's what matters most to me.
