• (2019-11-15) Chris Glenn: Does pretty much everything the website does in a smaller format.
• (2019-10-30) dan platz: I don't get the point of this extension, I have to the app window open in order to get notifications. Hangouts extension didn't require this and it even to notified me of phone calls and allowed me to answer them from my computer if I wanted/needed to (it still does this even with my SMS moved over to messages, at least until Google decides to fully drop it but it seems GV is getting support again).
• (2019-09-23) Kevin Ray: It works ok but the windows 10 app is much better. There is one on github: https://github.com/chrisknepper/android-messages-desktop/releases/tag/v3.0.0. It works great for me on Windows 10. It pops up with a notification on the bottom right of the screen right above the clock and shows me the number/contact that just sent the message and the whole text message and plays a notification sound. I can click the notification and it will open the program right to the message so I can respond.
• (2019-08-02) Shawn Krumpe: So I loaded it... then click on it, scan the QR code, it pops up a window. I use it... then close it because I don't want another tab open all day long... then I open it, and I have to scan the QR code again. TOTALLY USELESS. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want my google voice extension to work again...
• (2019-06-17) Ron Dick: Used to work though it was very slow to connect to my phone. Now it won't connect at all.
• (2019-05-24) Don M. Hokanson: Works great from my Chromebook. Incredibly easy to install. I've been fighting with MightyText for months. Exactly what I was looking for.
• (2019-05-17) Андрей Кожунков: Абсолютно не сканирует на телефон код - выдаёт - ошибка, попробуйте через несколько минут... И так по много раз. Так и не удалось запустить. И зачем такое?
• (2019-05-12) Neo Smith: Great interface for messages for web (google messaging), could use some work, but great start....
• (2019-05-03) Tom Husband: I have tried to get this to connect to my Nokia 6.1 phone countless times. Uninstalled and reinstalled and still it doesn't connect. Very frustrating and poor performing. I'll look elsewhere.
• (2019-03-06) Tim Kaczocha: It won't connect to my contacts and it won't allow me to type in the message to send manually.
• (2019-03-01) Sure, it removes the clutter of browser tabs, but it is still treated by the OS like a Chrome window. I want a separate "app" with it's own shortcut in `~/Applications` and it's own dock icon so that I can switch between it and Chrome intelligently and it feels like a separate SMS app. Like the Keep Chrome extension by Google https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-keep-chrome-extens/lpcaedmchfhocbbapmcbpinfpgnhiddi?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon. Now I am uninstalling it because it doesn't fulfil the one criterion I was looking for. I don't have further opinions about functionality / notifications etc because I haven't used it.
• (2019-02-27) Chadwick Warfield: Just OK. This extension does the same thing that others do, which is opening the https://messages.android.com URL in a standalone browser window. However, I don't like this one because clicking on the extension button in Chrome opens multiple standalone windows. It shouldn't open multiple windows, because you can't use more than one at the same time on a computer. Instead it should give focus to the existing window. I recommend Android Messages Launcher by Source PNW over this one, as that extension doesn't have the same problem I mentioned above. It does not open multiple windows and instead gives focus to the existing one.
• (2019-01-13) The extension works ok but is useless unless you are sitting next to your computer the entire time since it doesnt have an unread notification badge or icon. If you included this and a "schedule a message" option I'd get rid of my mysms subscription I've had for years.
• (2018-11-05) J.M SHOEMAKER: Since i have been using this app it has been great and i never had any problems i remember so i will keep using it
• (2018-09-19) Matthew White: Overall a nice extension, especially since it works with Android's native messages. The problems I've encountered: 1. Notifications only seem to show when I have the pop up window open and in the background. It would be nice if they always showed, whether the window is open or not. 2. Notifications are prefixed with "messages.android.com" 3. Each time I click on the icon in my taskbar, a new window opens. It should only open 1 window ever, OR just be a literal pop-up within Chrome like other apps do (Pulse, for example). Sticking with this over Pulse for the time being as I prefer to use native apps whenever possible.
• (2018-09-02) Crissie Luckey: Works okay but they BADLY need to cut down UI size. Uses WAY too much space on my 15.6 or 17-inch laptop screen. Also randomly unsyncs by itself very often. Google Voice for Chrome can get far better results by linking your phone number to let you reply to all SMS or voice call traffic online right from an open browser tab.
• (2018-08-22) Phil Barila: I'd give it 5 if it were an app that I can pin to my Windows taskbar. I can pin the messages window, but that opens chrome, not the Messages for Web app.
• (2018-08-20) jason brown: To be fair, the web service and this app worked great for a week or so. However this morning I got spinning and more spinning. Then I got "something went wrong" and then "something went wrong" again.
• (2018-08-11) Adam Bicak: Works really good as advertised! If anything, it would be nice to be able to pin it to my taskbar, so my messages could be a click away from my desktop or anywhere really.
• (2018-07-25) Ed Gollar: The pop-ups are a nice feature. A sound would be nice. As a comment to the latest reviews, I don't think Chrome works (yet) with Windows notifications.
• (2018-07-07) Sean Thurston: Working pretty well other than not showing a notification on an inbound message.
• (2018-07-05) Chae Yi: Overall pretty good. I still can't figure out how to get notifications on my PC though. I wish the extension showed number of new messages received.
