SMS WakeUp Shows Your Texts On Screen When You Receive Them

Android: If you’re coming to Google’s platform from the iPhone, one of the most jarring changes is that receiving text messages doesn’t turn your display on so you can see what’s being said. SMS WakeUp fixes this problem.

The app has a very simple purpose: when you receive a text message, the display will turn on for a moment, showing a pop-up that allows you to jump directly to the message itself. Alternatively, with the pro version ($0.99), you can disable the pop-up so you’ll only see your lockscreen, where you’ll be able to watch the regular Android notification as it scrolls past in the shade, completely hands-free.
