Quite misleading

If you’re looking for an app that allows you to send an SMS from your Mac via your carrier, do NOT even consider this. The description and site are quite misleading about it. On the face of it, it seems like that is exactly what this app does. All the initially visible areas of the description make it seem that you can actually send SMS messages from your destop. The name itself is misleading. You cannot SMS at all. You can message through their app, as long as other people you talk to use the same app. So you’re sucked into buying something, that is only useful if you get your friends to buy/install it too. They need to change their description and site, to have VERY big and bold letters right up top, saying it ONLY sends SMS messages if you get your friends to install the app and use it for messaging. Personally, I have a problem with inviting people to buy or install a program. Really, they absolutely MUST be forced to change the name. It’s not SMS. It has nothing to do with SMS. SMS is only through your carrier.

Technically, they don’t lie outright. If you read deep enough, it does make you aware that it does not work as they make it look like it works. But in all honesty, they get 1 star. Because that should be the first thing it says, before anything else. Absolutely useless unless they get it working through your carrier, and NOT worth the money at all. It’s well designed, but until they figure out how to make it work as it claims (sending SMS messages regardless of if your contact uses this app or not) the review stands. When they get it working like they make it look that it does, it would be a 5 star app because it’s beautifully designed and stable. Just worse than useless.
