Text Desk

Love the app- except group messages and pictures do not go through. If you could do group pictures and receive pictures then it would be 5 stars!

I've tried virtually every text-from-computer app out there and this stands out as the best. I particularly like the fact that my personal info and data are not being stored on the developer's server.

I am a fan of this app as it pretty much works as advertised. Using a Surface Tablet and the Note 2 as my primaries. The Text Desk people also indicated that there could be issues with What's App running concurrently and they were spot on. I had to disable What's App for Text Desk to run but that is ok. All is well.

I have tried several of the free cloud SMS apps that one worked very well but was constantly annoying people I was texting with an advertisement for their service. I finally settled on this app and paid the $3; I couldn't be happier with it so far. The only advice I could give is make sure that your computer's contacts are up to date with all of your phone's contacts because that is what this app uses when you are trying to start a new conversation.
