Mighty Text: Text from Your PC

There are times when I'm in situations where I can't pick up my phone to look at an incoming text. Circumstances such as these are common for most people. Text messaging is a great means of communication, but they are limited because you would have to pull your phone from you pocket and look at the screen. Now that texting is less of a new fangled thing and more of a means of communication people know what randomly grabbing your phone and looking at it means. It can be considered rude.But when you're in class or a business meeting, often you have a laptop for notes.

I blacked out personal information to protect friend's privacy. The program shows contact names & pictures when synched
with your Google Contacts account.

Mighty Text:


With Mighty Text the problem being rude by reaching for your phone. Put simply, the application syncs your conversations with MightyText.net and communicates between your phone and the website almost seamlessly. The application is designed to work with Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Now, this program is old news, but the recent updates have drastically improved the application and  related browser software. The update put out June 19th made some amazing improvements. You do need to be running Android 2.2 and up in order to enjoy the fun and games. 

Future Updates I'd Like to See:

The one thing I would love to see on the next update is a means of communication between tablets and phones. Since my primary mobile computing device is the Transformer Prime, I would love to see this application play nice with fellow Android devices. Heck, why be so limited, I would love to see this application play nice with iPads too. It already plays nice with Macs since all three browsers are used on them. I may love Android, but I have no problem letting the Apple crowd enjoy the benefits of this service too. 

Additional Uses:

Let's say you leave your phone at home or some other location and you need to communicate with someone. Access to a computer, any computer, with a web browser will solve the problem. So long as the phone is on and send & receiving signal you can communicate with anyone and use your own phone number while doing it.

The program also tells you who is calling you, so if you want to determine who is calling you and if it is worth it for you to excuse yourself to take the call. 

How to Get It:

Just jump on over to the Google Play store on your phone or head to it with your web browser by clicking this link. So long as you are logged into your Google account getting the app will be automatic. The app is the low, low price of free!
