Comment on Ex-Googlers Launch MightyText, An iMessage For Android Users

Comments

Okay, I'm still confused. Is it "iMessage for Androud users" in that it automatically recognizes other MightyText users and sends those messages over the data connection? That point isn't especially clear.

Also, why is there so much emphasis on browser sync? Is the browser install a dependency? Does this work if, say, my browser is closed or my PC is shut down? I would assume that it does, but with the browser sync instructions so heavily emphasized in the install instructions, I'm not sure.

It's not "iMessage for Android users" in any way. The headline is nonsense. If your browser is closed or your PC is shut down, MightyText does nothing for you. The browser interface is the interface.
