- (2025-04-13) mBit. pl: ograniczenia i dziś jest już darmowa apka na win 10-11 gdzie można dodać własny telefon
- (2025-04-07) Mark Dickerson: It has become a mass of problems on Chrome and another Chrome based browser. I'm sorry to say that after numerous years I'm uninstalling it.
- (2025-03-06) David L. Rivera: It's early March 2025, I've been using mightytext for about 5 years on my PC, and as of roughly Dec 2024 it's on the edge of being non functional. I can still send out texts just fine, but mightytext doesn't receive about 90% of all incoming texts! I used to get texts generally no problem (except for group texts) but it was acceptable. Now this barely works. Texts don't come in whatsoever, the very few that do, don't trigger the notification sound either. I don't know what happened to this service, but it's awful now. I'm going to start looking for alternatives asap
- (2025-03-06) Ramon Rivera: It was good while it worked. I also started to have issues, and suddenly, it stopped working altogether. They sent notifications about expiration, but I was never able to log on again. Good luck.
- (2025-02-13) Jesse Watson: Currently the review is a 3/5 as it keeps failing and Mighty Text stall will not respond. I have to keep rebooting my computer to remove the red x that keeps shutting it down. Also the price increase and still problems. Jesse
- (2025-02-08) Jon Woodbury: I've been using it for a long time but it's never quite worked consistently enough for me to pay for it. I really want to but it often misses messages and disconnects randomly. It mostly works so I've stuck with it, but it's just never been reliable enough to commit for good. I've been waiting for a while now for them to finally tighten it up and make it consistent.
- (2025-01-22) Google Google (Google Google): MightyText
- (2025-01-12) R Green: I think this app is on its deathbed so I would recommend not installing or signing up/paying for the Pro version anymore. It no longer functions consistently in latest Chrome versions, and the company website seems to be mostly a museum piece dating back several years without news of any fixes. I wish they would update it as it was useful extension/ app for many years.
- (2025-01-05) Ralph T.: I've been using MightyText for about five or six years, and it's always worked perfectly until a couple of weeks ago. The extension won't sync my phone's app notifications anymore, plus it keeps disconnecting frequently. They really need to fix this in the next update, and it needs to be soon.
- (2025-01-03) Dave Schreyer: App doesn't seem to like Google Chrome and Vise Versa. I have to use the "backdoor" to access it. I'd give it 4.5 stars if it wasn't for this latest issue. I'm blaming Google for this nightmare.
- (2025-01-03) Francesco S.: app keeps disconnecting
- (2024-11-30) Ross Bridgers: Works great, I've been using for years.
- (2024-11-13) Rudy P: Just installed on my newest phone just to test - works great! Able to send and receive messages from my PC. Don't need this any more as I have Phone Link installed but it's nice to know that it still functions. PS for those concerned with the Chrome message - it will not go out of support until 2028 so there's PLENTY of time to continue using it :-)
- (2024-09-30) Nima Shafiei: Absolut disaster
- (2024-09-27) Tracey: I've been a PRO user for years. Recently I've been having all sorts of issues and it won't even load anything from the past two weeks. I just got a notification that Google is going to drop it from extensions so that explains a LOT. (This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions.)
- (2024-08-30) thph: Garbage.
- (2024-08-27) Shelly Langley: I have been using Mighty Text for a long time with very little problem, but here lately it has had all sorts of glitches, and today I find out that Google is going to drop it from extensions. NOT GOOD! I'm very disappointed because we pay for the PRO version and have had great success using for our Foundation Repair business. As customer service rep, I use this app constantly all day keeping in touch with our technicians. BUMMER! Any other time I would have given this app a 4 start rating. Not 5 because of the occasional glitch but always have been able to get it worked out.
- (2024-08-26) Tom Aldridge jr: "Error: Android Phone not registered with MightyText with this Google Account, or MightyText Android App not installed properly on your phone." Not only is this word-salad the only help I can get on this site but it is no help. And I will see your PD with PD of my own [diagnosed in 2003] and I will raise you one tumor on my tongue, and now it won't let me transmit this review
- (2024-08-13) David Booth: Runs fine for me. Because of Parkinson's can't really text from phone. Not enough motor control. Only issue: Chrome reports that it is not in compliant and will soon disable the app. Web search shows that the App needs to support Manifest v3 in order to remain compliant. Have until January 2025 to get compliant.
- (2024-08-02) Anna Bruhn: Chrome says you're not really in compliance with them anymore and is encouraging me to unload the app. This is really too bad because I really like this tool!
- (2024-07-14) David: Fine when it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Fortunately it is not vitally important.

- (2024-03-25) Donna Ison: My phone notifications no longer pop up on my pc screen. It is really useful and handy for my work.
- (2024-03-04) MrCvmenn: The program won't launch after just setting it up. What gives here.
- (2024-01-27) Scott Inoue: My phone notifications no longer pop up on my pc screen. That was a really useful feature. Now it's just a so-so app.
- (2024-01-22) Gary Kopycinski: Honestly, works great everywhere. Much has improved in the one-year-plus I've used MightyText. Works in Chrome, the Desktop app for Windows works, and the Beta for the iPad works great too. Nice work, team.
- (2023-11-24) Alan Page: I used a non-google email address to login, and it's stuck in MT and can't be changed. App ceases to function. I get a loop when I try 'use another acct'. Very frustrating, and I give up; after un-installing, reboot and re-install doesn't help. It was great, now it's just painful.
- (2023-11-23) Ken Drewlo: Just can not seam to get it to work anymore???
- (2023-11-18) Susan Jones: lIke others... it's just not working like it used to -- and I ha dbeen about to go premium. Messages don't go through, I don't see all the messages (weird to see big jumps in conversations). Is there another option out there?
- (2023-09-25) Karl Potts: I have been using this app (Free) version for years but lately it just appears to have ceased functioning properly. I no longer receive the desktop notifications on my PC. The web client appears to work ok but not ideal having to have this open all the time. Contacted support who asked me to uninstall/reinstall which have done numerous times without any success. I was then direct towards this web extension - I have installed this (Brave browser) and this appears to do nothing either! In fact as per previous review, despite being signed in it shows a status of 'NOT logged in'?! Its a shame as I used to love this app and it worked flawlessly but its seems all good things come to an end!!!

- (2023-05-17) Duncan Drasdo: Absolutely infuriating. It stopped working so I wanted to cancel the pro version. They send you round in circles ignoring direct and clear requests. The trick is the cancel link is hidden under a support button (browser dependent presumably) on the billing tab and it will not allow you to delete your payment cards. Do not touch this app. I would like my money back. They have taken an extra year of subscription

- (2022-09-08) Michael Ryeburn: Mightytext was somewhat useful until Google came out with their own free text from browser service. I canceled my MIghtytext Pro subscription several years ago as I don't need it. Still they bill med credit card annually. There is no way to contact them by phone or e-mail. I have reported this to Mastercard, and they are canceling my card and sending me a new card. Please stop billing me for services which I have not requested and do not want.

- (2022-08-15) Chris Pilcher: I absolutely LOVE having the ability to read and write texts from my PC!! My only true gripe is that when you are using the little window that pops up when someone texts you... the menu at the bottom right gets in the way and you can see what you are typing. It's been this way since I first subscribed several years ago. I will change my rating to 5 stars if/when you can get this fixed. Thanks!

- (2021-11-12) james conrad: This works GREAT! and is a VITAL component when posting links to clients from my desktop. I was using Verizon messenger+ for years and it worked, not very well a lot of times but was at least was free. The latest messenger+ "update" crashed immediately and, that was THAT! ENOUGH! I am using the Pro version of MT and yes, it's 80 bucks a year but, it works flawlessly with many more features plus, MUCH FASTER! Their CS is first rate as well, I am not very tech savvy, they reply immediately to inquires and, while using it offers prompts on a sidebar if it detects something isn't quite right. For folks that need this type of service when conducting business, MT ROCKS!

- (2021-11-12) Carol Wullenweber: Just recently having an issue. Some texts are going through, but it never shows completed in the app. Always an orange clock. and not getting any return messages through the app. I have tried unlinking and resetting it up, I tried refreshing. I would say this has only been happening in the past few weeks. prior to that it would happen on occasion but I was always able to refresh or resync. I use it for work so I miss it when it is not working correctly. I have to make sure my texts go through to my doctors in the NSICU.
