I don't have a 14 but I will chime on this. I think your radio should be able to receive SMS from your phone if you bluetooth pair the phone to the car, and your phone is not ancient and is compatible. So more likely, the problem is with your phone, or pairing, or your phone needs an upgrade or you did not permit SMS to be shared.
That being said, your '14 radio cannot have apps added.
You can do not really upgrade the radio, but you can upgrade the HMI to the '16 functionality but it is super pricey! Plus your '14 has HD radio while the later years do not. I would ask your questions to these folks before ordering.

There are a couple threads on this.
The radio in the 14 does not have the ability to display texts.
I think the 15s and later do. fror the newer model years, display/do not display is an option in settings.
AFAIK, no apps beyond what are already there have been released for the 14.
So while the L<->R scroll arrows are present on the app screen, there's no apps to put there.
