Description
SyncSMS lets you talk on your tablet by syncing sms text messages between your Android 2.1+ phone and 3G or WiFi-only Android 2.1+ tablet. This app lets you receive sms text messages on your tablet which have been received by or sent from your phone. Also, this app lets you send sms text messages on your tablet which will be copied to your phone and sent out by your phone. You will need to sign up for a free Dropbox account, if you don't already have one, in order to temporarily store the sms text messages between syncs.
Notes:
- Do NOT have to be on same WiFi network, each device just needs a data connection of some sort
- Only need to purchase this app once, and install on both phone and tablet
- For some tablets you will have to force the device type setting to tablet
- SMS Text messages on tablet are sent via your phone (charges from your carrier may apply)
Features:

1 ★ I just wasted my money. It's not what I think it is. This app is misleading. The description does not say that it will not sync all your SMS across your phone-enabled tablet and your phone. And it does not mention that it wont actually use the stock SMS app of your phone-enabled tablet because it uses its own messaging app. Misleading description plus no trial version equals waste of money! That amount of money is equivalent to three happy big meals here n my country. What a waste!
4 ★ It's improving with each release. One thing that would make it stand out is to recognize an ad-hoc WiFi or Bluetooth connection between the tablet and phone and avoid the cloud completely. This is especially important when there is only a cellular connection (for texting), but no mobile data connection. Even if it meant the DOLPHIN KING had to partner with one of the tethering app developers.
3 ★ I used to use this app and I really liked it. At the time, it was the only tablet texting solution that used a cloud option to sync messages, which meant you didn't have to be in the same building or network as your phone. It did have minor issues and it's interface wasn't the prettiest, but it was good. Today, I use MightyText, which has the same advantages but works better and looks nicer.
5 ★ Having moved from Verizon, I was used to being able to TXT from my tablet at home, while using my phone while out. I am no longer with vzw however, with this app, I have the same functionality!
5 ★ Tried a couple other sync apps with evo 4g and nexus 7 but they all had some sort of connectivity issue. So far syncsms has performed flawlessly. Great app!
4 ★ Works for my needs. Can receive and send sms from my 2nd android work phone. And letsvme know if i have a missed call
3 ★ Doesn't let you sync from phone to phone, otherwise its a good app. Drains the battery of both my phone and my tablet pretty fast even in standby.
3 ★ It falls down when it shouldn't. It can't sync with no network. Fine. But it doesn't always catch up when network is available, even after several hours.
1 ★ Dev stopped working on app. I paid for it when it first came out. Dropbox changed their permissions. They contacted dev to update and they never did.
4 ★ App works as advertised for the most part. Would have given 5 stars but sometimes not all messages in the conversation are uploaded to tablet. Only the messages I send are uploaded sometimes.
5 ★ This is a great app. Works exactly as described. I was impressed that when I changed to a SIM with a different number, the app worked seamlessly with the new SIM without needing any action on my part.
4 ★ It works. My messages appear on my tablet, I can text from my tablet. It's free. What more do you need. Well occasional updates would be nice to show they are still looking after it.
5 ★ I use Tablet Talk and am moving totally away from that good product because of one very big difference. SyncSMS can handle multiple devices. So only one phone is needed, but multiple Android (mostly WIFI only) devices can use that phone's SMS service. You can make adjustments to the check status timing. And many other good features.
3 ★ When i got this i thought it was pretty cool, but once i started using it i noticed that some of the messages are cut of from what the original message came. Also, the interface could be slot nicer then the plain black or white. Otherwise this app should be worth $1
5 ★ I really like this app. I now use it on a second tablet the note 10.1. The only issue I see is that I would like to be able to select more than one conversation to delete at once rather than all or one at a time. ----------- old review ----------------Update! I still use this app. The best one from day one! I just installed it again, now on my Samsung phone and acer tablet. Yes the same a500 that I started with. -------- old review. --------- I use this on my EVO 4G and acer tablet. Both stock and custom Rom with no problem!
