If you downloaded QKSMS on F-Droid, QKSMS+ should be enabled by default and is free. The purchase option is replaced by a link to make a paypal donation.
However, QKSMS doesn't seem be maintained anymore, so maybe you should check QUIK which is a fork of QKSMS.
Thanks. I'll definitely download Quik. Does it have the QKSMS+ features included for free in it, and is it maintained by an original dev? Update: Yeah, I got it downloaded and the features are there. Awesome!
If it's a fork means someone else is maintaining the app. The developer abandoned QKSMS.
True. But I've seen apps be forked by it's own developers before. One example is Prism Launcher, which was forked from PolyMC because one of the original devs "went rogue" and revoked access from all the other devs because their political views didn't align with his political views. So he abused the power he had and just kicked them out. So the devs who were kicked out forked the program and continued it as Prism Launcher. That's how I understand the situation anyway. It's funny, because PolyMC which Prism Launcher is forked from is itself a fork of MultiMC.
So it's a valid question.
Oh I see , but yeah is a different developer and it works great been using it for a few months now.
