Comments on TexTab Lite for Android

★★★★★ Must Have! This app is great. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and this app allows me to text from my tablet thru my cell phone via Bluetooth. Both send and receive text messages with no problem. I will be purchasing the paid version immediately. If you have a tablet and want to use it for texting, this app is a must have!

★★★★★ Tablet Must This is a great app. Excellent! Needs UI updating but great functionality. Thunderbolt/Xoom

★★★★★ Great app This app works easy with my samsung chat and galaxy tab 2. Now i can receive and message in my tab while with my phone in my pocket. Many thanks..

★★☆☆☆ Horrible It only crashes on phone, impossible to use. On tablet I could open it but when on phone does not work it does not help anything!!!!

★★☆☆☆ So so During the trial period it would work most of the time but then started to lose BT connection and also started freezing. Multiple resets and force close didn't help reliability. Also, it would be a better app if it synced all your phone contacts with the tablet so you can send texts from the tablet without having to enter the phone number.

★★☆☆☆ Trail, not "lite" Cant use contacts, must type every number in to text. No links to phone contacts or images. No images, or other features. Connection is good, but to basic. Uninstall. Fix these issues and give us a true lite version to test, then ill consider it.
