I really do love the idea behind these kinds of services - SMS from a desktop browser window? Awesome.<p>But I <i>really</i> don't want to pass all of my personal traffic off to a rndom new startup's server. How can you convince people to use this and trust you?
Does this kind of thing rely on the serial over sharers to just connect their Google account up, and willingly pass off their private messaging?<p>Maybe I'm being overly critical, but this is precisely the kind of thing I would want to run myself, not give to someone else to run.<p><i>edit</i>
It seems I jumped the gun a little - their FAQ says that they explicitly don't store the messages on their servers, making them a dumb pipe to just send data.
Still, my instinct is to wonder who else can see my messages :/
How does this differ to something like Airdroid (www.airdroid.com)? It's not really clear to me and I can't run it at the moment.<p>Airdroid is almost perfect and the screenshots on the Play Store don't show your app in a good light.
Nice job, seems to work well. I love airdroid but it annoys me that I am constantly having to reconnect after I walk out of wifi range. If this gets around that issue then I'd swap.<p>One comment I had is that if I was to download this app on my device, the initial experience could be improved somewhat. The first screen is a login one and it says to go to your website, sign up and come back to the app. I did this on my mobile browser (chrome) and it was a bit clunky to sign up (I had the feedback/need help button hover over the form a bit). Perhaps instead of that, you could have a registration function right in the app? even if it was just a web view with a mobile optimized signup web page loaded. That way I don't have to leave the app.<p>Not a major thing but thought I'd offer you some feedback.
