This app's capabilities are misleading. Sure it will send SMS texts... but only to people who join the mySMS service. It WILL NOT send SMS texts to members of your My Contacts list unless they download the mySMS app. What, are we to believe we need to have all of our contact join their service just to send messages. Think not. How about delivering basic SMS texting to any mobile phone as promised. Don't spend the money.

Really good app no problems at all but I wouldn't pay for it when your desktop app if free, make this app free and ill rate 5/5!
13 December 2014
I am using this program on all 3 deices, with no problems, and quick syning. Started using on cellphone about 2 years ago. Would highly recommend to anyone that uses text messages.

Works really well when both devices are used at the same time. Messages send through quickly and notifications are quick. The only issue I've run into, which could be isolated, is that if my phone's (Nexus 5) screen is turned off, messages don't sync and send through until I've unlocked the screen and opened the app. I'm troubleshooting to figure out what's going on, but haven't had much luck finding a solution other than leaving my screen on. If this is a mysms problem instead of mine, I hope it gets fixed. Until then I'm looking at 4/5 stars. Keep it up!

I was looking for an app to message from my computer, and wow, did I ever find one. I can't believe how well mysms works. I would gladly pay for this service but it is FREE. I use this on my HP Win8 laptop, Nexus 7 tab, Galaxy s4 phone and my Mac Pro running OS X Lion. It's about perfect. I would have been satisfied with OK but this has far exceed my expectations. Message on any device. Check. Sync on all devices. Check. Stable on all devices. Check. You want this app. I can be working along at my desktop (Mac) or my laptop; get a message; no problem. Boom. answered. Very pleased.

Keeps all my Texts on my computer. Easy to use, even allows images to come through. Great app!
25 September 2013
It works exactly as you need it to! That's saying a lot considering this is the Microsoft store.
16 December 2014
I didn't know if I would like this at first. I didn't want to be that connected, but now that I have an earpiece to answer calls and the tablet to text... I love it. I love being able to read, watch things, work, and answer texts and phone calls with one tablet. GREAT!

How is this Windows PC/Tablet service supposed to work for me if you don't have a Windows phone app? Especially with the Universal Apps that Windows has - it shouldn't be difficult to create one for the phone.

Really convenient to be able to text from computer. The only thing is that there is no option to attach a recorded video or voice memo from the phone app, otherwise it is definitely worth using.
5 May 2015
Biggest weakness is that you have to use the mouse to push send for each text and not the enter key.
15 April 2015
Works as advertised, across platforms--in my case, Samsung Galaxy S6; Windows 8.1 desktop; Surface Pro 3; and via Chrome for a Windows Vista desktop. One star demerit for slow refresh and some lag.
If you are looking for this service, this works--go for it.

This is a perfect choice for an SMS app. Works seamlessly on all my devices and also doubles as a sms backup program. Having the ability to also see and reply via my desktop/tablet is so convenient. Highly recommend.
Update2 : Still using this app after 2 years and always add it to my new devices each time.
10 April 2015
Works great on all my devices. 5 stars!! Just wish there were more personalization options on windows! Like to be able to change the background like in Windows.
14 January 2015
Generally ok, like the interface, but definitely there are problems where it doesn't refresh and also says still sending when its already sent!
23 December 2014
When it works its great! However I cannot stand when it glitches because I depend on this thing with my small business and long texts!!!
10 June 2014
Can anyone explain why I would have Windows 8.1 installed and Windows Phone and be required to have an iPhone or Android to use this app??
15 May 2013
There's a free Windows 7/XP version that'll run on Win 8 just fine, so unless you need to use the metro interface, don't bother. The web client honestly seems like the best option...
There's also no details about what different between the trial and paid version, so for all I know the paid version also lacks the ability to forward messages, and doesn't work well when you're sharing the screen with another app.
21 November 2014
It makes it so much easier to answer my texts from my computer at work instead of from my phone.
31 May 2014
I love this app. Im on my laptop and have the ability to text at the same time, cant get better than that
15 April 2014
Very good app enjoy a lot plus I can also see my text message on my computer so I don't miss a thing.
25 December 2014
Worked Great no Issues with ATT
28 November 2014
I use this app. on my Samsung Galaxy S4; my Samsung Tablet and on my PC, works great!!!
21 November 2014
Absolutely loving it. Sometimes not all my contacts show up but that's not that big of an issue.
23 July 2014
This is great have it set up on 3 devices so far and works like a charm! its fantastic !
15 April 2014
Simply the best. compatible with my Samsung tablet, Dell computer and Alcatel phone...I love it!!!
7 May 2015
I like mysms, and have tried more than a dozen other apps for the same or similar use. I have it on my computer as well as on my phone. I am having less problem with it than I used to, it would sometimes take a long time to recognize a call.
Nothing against it, just not yet able to say it is the tops
25 March 2015
I love it will go Pro on this just needs more work on windows 8 interface design.

This is about the only app that lets you TXT from your computer and look like it comes from your phone. At least on the Android phones. BUT! It is not always up to date. Sometimes it sends a TXT but never updates on the PC screen that it sent. And I receive TXTs but not showing on PC screen. Also, if I "read" my messages on the phone, it still shows counter badge until I launch the app. NEEDS UPDATES

When it comes to hi-tech stuff, (which I still have no idea how it actually works..but I'm OLD schoo and tech people speak in tech language...which I don't understand most of what they are talking about.. So when I find an app or program that takes more then entering much more then my basic information, I do try, but 9 times out of 10, it doesn't work and I give up. mysms is SOOOOO EASY to use......It is just like I'm sending a message on my laptop, but less errors because my laptop has real keys....not glass screen to pick at for the letters. The old saying..if it ain't broke, don't fix it. MMS works on your phone and mysms works the just like that, except from Laptop, Computer, Tablet...and probably lots of other devices. 5 STAR RATING.
