Message+ taken from me with no replacement

I got a text from Verizon Friday telling me that Message+ is being taken away from me.  I use windows 7 and windows 10 at work.  The Microsoft Store is blocked by IT policy.  There is no tolerance for Candy Crush and other pushed apps from the store.   If I go to the microsoft store on my home PC,  I can see a steaming pile of hundreds of reviews rating this replacemnt turd a 1.5 AND Microsoft or the adorable people at Verizon has pulled the app.   ***   It is no longer available.  It is listed but the app has been pulled.  ***   

November 4th, Verizon is turning off a serivce I use.   Because they care and value me as a customer, they are not providing a usable replacement.  The deep appreciation Version shows its customers was demonstrated to me first hand today when a live chat thing (bot or damaged human) repeatedly sent me to the Microsoft store for the app; an app so bad that it has been pulled.  Repeatedly telling the chat bot the app has been pulled did nothing but bring up a survey on my chat experience.  Since the Message+ Windows app is being yanked from under me without a replacement, what are my options?   I am not logging into your ad filled website to check text and SMS.  The site logs me out after a few minutes where as the Message+ stays logged in for hours. 

Everytime I use your site I have to run through a gauntlet of ads and the ever helpful display of my account balance for everyone at work to see.  I use your website while teaching classes on UI design as an example of what not to do.  The site is barely usuable to pay bills.  Other than that it's a nagfest that requires I log in every 10 minutes.  It's not even close to a useful replacement. 

I need and use Message+ as is without the extra useless garbage for tweens you've forced into the reviled new version.  Every single review clearly says you messed up the pooch, ran over it and then dragged its limp carcas through the streets for miles.  You're taking away tools I need.  I sit at a PC all day and texting from the PC is faster and I can easily send PC screen shots.  There is no technical reason to pull the old app.
