Ratings and reviews

It kind of works for sending texts from a pc but not very well. Even though I use it rather frequently, the texts usually don't show up on the app. The last text on the app (which should be the most recent) was sent 7 months ago. I can't even see the text I just sent, nor the reply which showed up momentarily as a pc notification. The app seems to hold onto image texts that say "View Image." And yeah, you can't see the images.

It's way more reliable than PushBullet, but what keeps me from switching is the lack of support for Win10 and Firefox. While yes, it is possible to use them, the functionality is limited. If you keep Chrome open all the time, this will work for you. One of my other complaints with the Windows app is that it uses the notification center. Normally, I would love that sort of integration, but that means that I can't have the notifications show up on a second monitor, where I won't miss them while in-game.

App does what it says and does it well. There is a bit of a learning curve but not too difficult. I use this primarily to send incoming sms and sync to the Android head unit in my car. I only have one complaint: unable to change the duration of the alert banner. I want it to remain on the screen until I choose to dismiss instead of automatically after 5 seconds... But I'm able to use another app to work around this limitation like "Notification Pop-up".
