Comments on [DEPRECATED] Chrome to Phone for Android

★★★★★ Good while it lasted This is bullshit that Google is shutting down this app. Chrome sync is rubbish and is not an effective alternative. This app has so many useful functions. You could see a history of links that you sent in the past and you could send links to phones for future reading. Chrome sync removes links once you close the browser tab. Please, keep this app alive. PLEASE!!!!!!

★★★★★ Great app. I use it all the time. Shame it will be discontinued this month. GOOGLE!!! why would you kill an app that so many people use?

★★★★★ Loved this app, i think they killed it early, it used to work as easy as a click, why couldn't they leave this alone i preferred this way to send links to my phone directly

★★☆☆☆ & ANOTHER UNNECESSARY GOOGLE APP It's caused nothing but problems for my laptop and smartphone. It didn't do anything they claim. My PC viewed it as a threat. One word: DELETE

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work anymore

★★☆☆☆ Why is this still in the app store This app used to be great but it no longer works as of 3 31 2016....don't download

★★☆☆☆ Bring it back! Or make another one that does the same thing.

★★☆☆☆ Chrome to phone A perfectly redundant app telling you about the same thing as is already up to date on chrome app which is the exact information in detail including settings and well there is no way to an app where you try to point out all pros that in comparison. Chrome. Setup now available on all your where you are able to ;. Plus make appropriate setting depending upon where device is being used.

NOTICE: Chrome to Phone is no longer supported

Chrome to Phone was launched in 2010 to help bridge your desktop and phone experience by making it easy to send Web links to your phone. Over the years, Google’s core products have evolved to be more integrated across different form factors. As of today, Chrome to Phone is deprecated. The app will continue to work until May 31st 2016 after which it will no longer work.

Here are ways Chrome to Phone’s most popular functionality can be achieved using Google today:

• Sending links to your phone. Sign into the Chrome Web browser on desktop and mobile and you can sync and view tabs (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2591582?hl=en) across your devices.
• Send directions to your phone. Type send directions to my phone into Google on your laptop/desktop and simply enter the destination and choose your phone.
• Send text to your phone. Type send a note to my phone into Google on your laptop/desktop and simply enter the text and choose your phone.

See this help article (https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/6128427?hl=en) to learn more about linking your phone to Google.

Google Chrome to Phone lets you easily share links, maps, and currently selected phone numbers and text between your computer running Chrome and your phone. You also need to install the Chrome browser extension on your computer, which can be found by searching for 'Chrome to Phone' at http://chrome.google.com/extensions/
