Ratings and reviews

Works once in a while. Right now it won't even connect to the Internet on my phone. When it does work, it lags, it crashes every use, and double posts. Most often you need to manually check and it will connect to you Mac running the server. Not dependable but the effort was made and it's free.

This app helped me switch to Android. If it wasn't for this app, I'd still be using an iPhone right now! Hopefully apps like this will kill Apple's iMessage plan, and eventually convince them to adopt RCS! I do have some issues with the server disconnecting. Sometimes I have to log into my remote desktop and restart the server from my phone. Other than this, everything else works fantastic.

I prefer Android, but am required to carry a work-issued iPhone. While I can get my email on my Android phone as well as forward my calls, my dispatch pages were locked to my iPhone due to being unable to auto forward them. This setup is the solution to my problem! Both SMS and iMessage forwards equally well and very quickly. Running the server on a used Mac Mini 2010 I picked up on eBay solely for this purpose.
