### 2/5 — お試し版です

*2023-05-17, version 3.16*

古いレビューだったことに気づかずダウンロードしてしまいましたが、無料版は存在せず、お試し後に自動継続購入になります。気を付けてください。
ということで、良さそうですが、残念ながら試用していません。
なお、ravpowerは、20:20:20:254でadmin、パスワードなしで使えます。

### 5/5 — Best text messages

*2022-11-24, version 3.16*

On my iPad, Android tablet and window 10  computer. Can't stand tiny keyboards.  This works

### 2/5 — Stopped working on iPad again

*2022-08-01, version 3.16*

I have installed / reinstalled several times to no avail. I downloaded mySMS a couple months ago when my Verizon Message+ stopped working after a switch to a MVNO. Now mySMS has stopped syncing messages from my Android phone. I can’t figure it out. When it works, it’s great. I’m just flummoxed why it suddenly stops working.

### 1/5 — Very Unreliable and frustrating. No updates!!

*2022-07-21, version 3.16*

Very unreliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. When the phone rings the app gets in your face and you have to hit several clicks to get it out. Notifications stay on even though you have cleared everything. Unfortunately I haven’t found a better one yet but I’m still looking.  No update in 3 years!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work….

*2022-04-26, version 3.16*

This used to work perfectly… now it doesn’t. I lost my phone and when I looked at this app on my iPad I couldn’t send any messages or anything. Nothing can be sent. It crashed…. The developers need to correct it and make it work again. All it says is messages can’t be sent.

### 1/5 — Receiving SMS should be easier than this App.

*2022-04-21, version 3.16*

Upon installation, you need to login with Google (if you've no Google account you can't use it). You can't register your number from your iPad Mini cellular, only login with an existing account. You have to install the app on your phone... you should be able to just receive SMS from the SIM in the iPad Mini WITHOUT it needing to sync to something else or needing an account to do so. EE UK SIM cards don't work in the iPad Mini unless you set it up in a phone first; which defeats the object of data in the iPad Mini. iMessage does not receive confirmation codes to setup the EE SIM in an iPad Mini without setting it up in a phone first, due to the iPad Mini 6 not receiving SMS. 🤦🏼 (Edit: VOXI via Vodafone network -works as it should), regardless of iMessage / Cellular / Apple continuity. Either way, this app over complicates and under performs iMessage which with the right SIM card works fine.

### 1/5 — Quit Working on iPad

*2021-12-16, version 3.16*

Was working on my iPad a suddenly stopped sending and receiving messages.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2021-11-24, version 3.16*

This works exactly as advertised. I have on my iPad, Android phone, and two Windows 10 PCs. Send from anywhere and all sync. Easy to send attachments. Only thing I might change is making a refresh button more obvious. The iPad sometimes needs a refresh to be current and doing it is not intuitive. For $10 a year Premium is a bargain.

### 5/5 — Well done

*2021-02-11, version 3.16*

My iPad and Phone are in sync. Can’t believe the app is free.
Get this app. Perfect

### 1/5 — “Do not ever install this app, doesn’t work & big headache”

*2020-12-09, version 3.16*

“Do not ever ever waste your time installing this app, it’s a big waste of time and a big big headache or a migraine trigger and will make you so so frustrated and tense up.  This app does not work and I tried to install this app but the i tried to connect this dumb useless app to my iPhone and then to my iPad and it didn’t sign in, it wouldn’t sign me up even using the sign in with an existing email.  I stayed up a few hours later excited to try to get this app and set it up but wow I sure have a headache now and sure wasted a few hours of my rest time trying to get this darn gone app to work.  I should be billing the developer for all this few hours of waste of my time plus having this load of waste and pointless junk app on here and also for all the major unfair tension and frustration and headaches and everything I’ve been put through from this.   “Use junk & waste of time & doesn’t work at all”.  If you don’t have a headache right now you sure will after installing this junk app and getting it to work.
