Great app for quick sharing.. initially... It has those great mirror notifications function, if you like to use them. BUT, when you try to send photos or other files (yes, within size limit) it mostly fails (80 to 90% of the time) in sending and says "Sorry, we couldn't send that." What gives?? It worked fine before. Get your $hit together!

However, support has not answered a question for 4-5 days already... It only synced the last month of texts, I need all and I have no idea whether it can do it or not. Edit months later. I have a new phone now, Honor 8 (the previous was Xperia XZ). Pushbullet doesn't work with Honor 8,and apparently has some issues with Huawei in general...

I use this app for texting only. I like how I can see texts over many devices. The only thing keeping it from five stars is that I can't delete a text on a device other than my phone, which means I have to go back there to keep things up-to-date. Still, I'm sticking with it because it works so well. Good interface.

Sometimes I can't send messages from the browser even when I know the phone is on wi-fi which makes this app totally useless. Also, I can't send files from my desktop to my phone. Whenever I try to attach something the window disappears. My old solution to this was to make pushbullet open in it's own window but it doesn't do that anymore. I'm on Firefox so maybe it actually works on other browsers

Early Pushbullet was kind of a gimmick. It let you send things between devices. Then they added notification mirroring. Then they added friends. Then they added large file transfers. Then they added SMS support with your phone. Then they added end to end encryption. And not once throughout that whole time period did they say, "pay us for it." Now not only are they saying pay for it, they're saying "pay us regularly for it". Yea no thanks.

So handy to have an app to share information across all my devices and that can send text info, send updates and on and on. Get it regret you won't

Awesome notification sync. Can get texts on pc (even dismisses alert on phone). Like the ease to send a link to. Only beef is free version has limitations but paid ver. seems pricey for what it does. Should be a "lifetime" license

AniMei Tenshi June 27, 2017

I finally have a way to share files easily between all my devices. I used to have to upload files from one device to my computer and then download them to the other devices. Then then do the same with the next device. Time consuming and not always practical. Now I can send what I need, when I need it without any hassles. I'm never having a device without this again

Dan Durocher June 29, 2017

Does what it's supposed to. Way too expensive. A one time purchase would've been better but a yearly subscription is just too much. Ditched it for JOIN by joaoapps. More options for a one purchase of $7. Highly recommend it over PB.

Shawn Hamilton July 26, 2017

Have No Idea Why Google has not purchased and baked this into Android yet. Clearly on the list of must have apps.

Oscar Garza September 19, 2017

Send SMS not working. Recently updated to Oreo on Nexus 6P. Not sure if related. Will update review once this is fixed.

Luke Bauer July 8, 2017

Grand-Daddy of push notifications on multiple platforms. Does a solid job - consistent performance and light load. However, other copycat apps provide better features and/or features for free. Overall, a rock solid choice.

Joris Berthelot August 2, 2017

Would it be possible to be able to disable any vibration? When I'm switching off the "Always vibrate" toggle, it still vibrates when the device is in vibrate notification mode. Thanks!

Pratik Dave August 4, 2017

Doesn't allow mirrored notifications and very delayed response for sending n receiving messages! Not recommended... needs improvement in Android app as well as Chrome Add-on for the same. Unfortunately uninstalling...

July 8, 2017

Lets me see texts on my tablet when I'm charging my phone. But every time I select an incoming text notification on my tablet, it opens the app to a blank screen, then I have to switch to a different screen in the app and then back to the SMS screen to actually see the texts.

Christopher McGrath August 3, 2017

When I discovered this app I immediately bought a year of pro and was happier than Christmas morning. Universal copy and paste, intuitive interface, extra features, Instant sync, perfect user interface, cross platform, end to end encryption.

michael pannone June 22, 2017

If you work on a computer of any kind, Pushbullet is absolutely essential. It makes my life so much easier as I can do pretty much everything except call from my PC and my Chromebook. It's on both so it doesn't matter where I'm sitting. In addition, universal copy and paste is just awesome. Give it a shot! I definitely recommend it for an easy productivity boost.

rajash seejarim September 5, 2017

Hi can you please assist with following: I'm not able to send attachments from chrome/laptop to my cell phone. However I don't have problem sending attachments from cell phone to laptop..

Scott Gilbert August 22, 2017

Well it is good at what it does. I hate that you have to use social media to log in. This allows them to sell your information to reimburse for the program.

Peter Worcester July 22, 2017

While its great to get all the cool newest apk versions, it would be 100% better if it could tell me, very new to "Hemroid", however the heck to install, update or whatever, to actually use the fracking apk. This assumes we're all Android geeks, reminds me of the"Lunux" experience. Great operating system, completely overshodowed, by its multiple flavors, versiond and customizations. Reduced to the Wild Wild West, shoot out at the OK corral syndrome. (FYI, I may be new to Android, but you don't get plucked out of college after 2 years to work for the DOD/NASA, for 12 years in POTUS Reagan's Star Wars era, spend 14 yrs at GE Corp as a CAO, 15years at IBM as a CTO) Point being, not my first rodeo. Android may be "great" but if its not adopted and usable by the masses, it dies with the "Geeks". Anyone see a mainstream Linux lately? Just my POV !!

Galan Destroyer June 17, 2017

Being able to respond to text messages on the computer is priceless. If you're device is locked via FP scanner or passcode, you'll have to unlock it before sending a message. I type extremely fast - faster than I ever could texting (and I'm no slouch there either). Great stuff.

Ken June 21, 2017

It's an alright app but Join has a better pricing plan and more features. I loved Pushbullet but until they figures out a better buisness model I'd rather us join.

Karlo Ugljesin June 16, 2017

Great app to make your devices interact like Apple devices. Receiving texts or your PC without having to look at your phone at work saves alot of time, very useful. Overall works very smooth too.

Stay Lift3d July 13, 2017

An absolutely awesome app, have been using for a while now and subscribed to APKMirror updates so this app will push notifications of APKs that I follow that haven't even hit my Play Store or extracted from newer devices etc etc. I love how I can subscribe to certain device manufacturers and push APK uploads to my phone using this great app. Xperia X on Android 7.0

Arthur Peng June 16, 2017

Try Join by Joaoapps. It's way better than Pushbullet which has poor subscription price model and poor support. I think developer has checked out after a bunch of compliant of the Pro service. Join is feature rich with quick support and one time price fee. I glad paid extra to help developer out.

Tiberiu Corbu July 5, 2017

Best app that allows one to send yourself or others content like pictures, text, links, files etc. from one device to another. Unfortunately since the application has access to both the bank web interface with the browser extension and via the phone app to the TAN Code notification, it raises a great security concern.

Andrei Paraschiv August 8, 2017

App is amazing. If you're coming from Chrome to phone this is just as good if not better I consider this a must-have every Android tablets phones everything sings with all my devices best way to send stuff across two friends family everything I would definitely buy this. free version is amazing as well AAA + plus plus plus plus get this app the best

Siva Dhayalan September 2, 2017

I started using this app before they started to monetize all the good features. But I still love the app. Thanks for not making all the best features into Pro.

Joel Santos Rico July 12, 2017

Magic when it works, but sometimes it's a bit hit and miss. Even though, the easiest way to send stuff to my pc.

Michael Hou July 10, 2017

Works when first installed but wouldn't let me upload file later on. I have sent feedback to the team but got no response. Very disappointed.

Akalanka Giddawage July 27, 2017

Can't share files from the phone on a slow network. Even though other similar apps doesn't have any problems in the same situation

Pablo Marrero June 27, 2017

Fantastic app to share links and information snippets between your phone, tablet and or PC and laptop. If you have multiple devices this app is a must. It saves a lot of work and works really well.

Shawn M. August 22, 2017

What a brilliant app! I am strongly considering buying the yearly subscription and I've only been using this for less than a week. You can txt from Windows with dedicated program or from an extension through Firefox or Chrome (on Windows and Linux). Simple way of sending files and links to your computers from your phone and vise versa. Great job on this!

Jeff Hansen August 6, 2017

2015 Do not understand why everyone not using this app? Been using this, on Firefox for years. ....still works great 2017

Sean McCarthy July 9, 2017

Very useful. I can instantly share things from my phone to my computer and vice versa. Also, I can send links from my phone to any of my friends and they see it immediately.

Nicolas Lopez July 12, 2017

Awesome app. Lets you share stuff between devices without a cable. Really useful and easy to use!!

Jesper Langpap August 7, 2017

I absolutely love this app. It's very handy and convenient to be able to sms from all your devices incl laptops and computers (win and Linux), and share files between mobile devices and computers . I would love to go pro, but the price is too steep. (half my office365 subscription, which is to much!)

Mike Daniel-Keehn August 22, 2017

Absolutely essential! SMS from computer, notifications for... everything, feeds, messages, emails... So very many uses. This program is a definite keeper!!
