If I could give this app negative stars, I would. Complete waste of time setting it up, unless you want to pay out the ass for basic functionality. "Trial" version only allows you to send 5 messages a day, yep you read that right... 5 messages A DAY. There is no free or reasonable limited options, and from what i can tell, those who paid for the premium regreted it and were ripped off. Unfortunately I read the reviews after completing setup (rookie mistake) but you live and you learn.

I like the app but it has a few problems. Contacts don't seem to properly sync and after the first sync it doesn't seem to sync them again. There's also no configuration on what to sync so it seems to only sync messages from the past few days. As others have noted, sometimes messages just sit in queue though. I do really like the app but it does have some limitations.

Often, when sending messages, the message will sit in the desktop app for several minutes and never send. Texting, especially for work, often involves back and forth that is time sensitive. I bought the app to reduce the time it takes to text on my phone, but I end up opening my phone and writing out the text. I just bought a keyboard that can connect to my phone through Bluetooth. It is much faster. May just end up uninstalling this and texting that way. Sent a message to the company...no response.

This is a joke! I switched from Apple to Samsung and was always able to send texts from my computer with my Apple for free. I downloaded this app thinking this would be the same. Unfortunately everytime I open the app on my computer it downloads all my old texts that I've already read and when I try to send a new text, it tells me I've reached my free limit!

Just installed this app and I'm psyched! The setup instructions were clear and accurate. Immediately, previous conversations I'd started on my Android appeared in Messages on my MacBook. I've already sent and received texts, just like the good ol' days when texts and iMessages were seamless, back when I had an iPhone. But this app is making me feel much more confident in my decision to switch to Samsung. I have a good feeling about SMS for iMessage!

I have a subscription and with the software update I still don't have PRO features despite many attempts to change this. I shouldn't to chase down proper customer service to fix an error the company made. I have asked for my ugrade on the new version and a refund for the months I haven't had access to their services and still no response. Clearly they need to get it together and I would not recommend this app. UPDATE: yes I did claim my account and it still did not work. And I have been emailing you for months with no response. Do not respond to my rating pretending that you are being proactive in helping your customers if you cannot answer their emails. (Maybe you should have more employees checking that email address and less trying to cover up bad google ratings...)
