WOW, pretty amazing. This beats me from running to my phone to see who sent me a message and vise versa, I can reply back to the person via my gmail account. A little lab messages coming from your server but works GREAT

This is so good! Using it with Gtalk through the Digsby client. Really useful. My thanks to the Dev & I would definitely pay for this app. Galaxy S2 with Handcent, no problems.

Works very well, the layout of the webapp is poor Works wonderfully, I would otherwise give it 5 stars except for this complaint: The webapp design is terrible. You can't really see the status of more than one conversation at once. It lacks any sort of directory we're used to using to see how many messages are new and who they are from. It works great, but the layout sucks.

A few bugs, but otherwise amazing. Misses SMS' at random and doesn't send them to chat/jabber. Other wise great. Fix this and this would be one of the best apps. (Next to tasker :))

Great App, zero support; and it no longer works! I love this app, and I lived by it daily. However after 160 days into the 365 day subscription; I got an error stating I have zero days left. Obviously something is wrong on the developer's licensing database. I've contacted him many times, and have had no response. Because of this I've moved to a Mighty Text, which is free. It's too bad, but because it doesn't work for me any longer and because I can't get a refund for the rest of my subscription I'll have to give this 1 Star and a bad rating.

Amazing app This has quickly become the app i use the most. Works great.. sometimes it doesn't sync right away but it still saves you a lot of time. I text quite a lot and especially at work this is very useful.. bought the licence.

Great App but... Great App but...whenever I recieve and send a message, its not in the order in which it was sent/recieved. Don't know if it's an error on my part, my phone, or the apps
