Pushme.to ($2.99)
Version – 1.0
REVIEW – “Free alternative to text messaging!”
There have been a variety of apps like this one that allow you
to do messaging. While this kind of app is not for everyone, Pushme.to is one of the best ones that I have seen. Pushme.to is a service that allows to sign up for an account and then send and receive messages to other users of Pushme.to, as well as receive messages directly from the Pushme.to website!
Now some of you may be wondering why you would want to have another app and format for sending/receiving text messages. Well there are several reasons that this might interest you. Maybe you have an iPod Touch and so you don’t have a phone number. Or maybe you send messages to the same
people a lot and don’t want to have to pay for all of those messages. Maybe you travel out of the country frequently and don’t want to worry about international data charges for sending text messages. Whatever your reason, if you are looking for a solution Pushme.to is one of the best solutions I have seen!
The interface of Pushme.to is very simple. When you open the app for the first time you will be asked to sign up for an account with Pushme.to. The process is extremely easy, and then all you
have to is check your email for the confirmation to finalize your free account. Once you account is set up and you load the app back up you are taken to a list of all your messages, and there will be a “welcome” message waiting for you.
In the upper right corner you will see two little buttons. There is a “refresh” button which will reload your messages and a button that looks like a discussion bubble to start a new message. To send a message all you have to do is enter the username of the person you want to send your
message to and then type your message.
Another great feature of Pushme.to is that you can actually put entries in your address book that will open up Pushme.to with that persons nickname already entered in. All you have to do is type
Pushme://nameofuser. This makes it extremely easy to quickly message someone just as you would with text messaging as long as they have the Pushme.to app installed as well.
Whatever your situation may be it is quite possible that this app could save you a lot of money, or maybe even add extra functionality to your device(in the case of iPod users). In either case I would definitely recommend Pushme.to over similar text messaging clients? Why you ask? Because of the excellent response time that this app has. I have tested this app repeatedly under different network circumstances and found this app to be even more responsive than text messaging! If you have been looking for a free alternative to text messaging check out Pushme.to today!
