"Mightytext" app for iphones?

There is no excuse why in 2016 there is still no App for PC to allow SMS communication without touching your phone.

It works fine with my Mac. Though I can't speak for Apple, it makes perfect sense to me, knowing Apple's history, that they would make it an Apple ecosystem feature.

The SWIPE feature on the Android device is far superior.

Do you mean the SWYPE keyboard? You can have that on your iPhone if you want. Apple opened up iOS to third party keyboards with, if I recall correctly, iOS 9. SWYPE and dozens of other alternate entry keyboards are available in the App Store.

You are also free to call Customer Support. Use the link at the upper right corner of every page. But, seriously, as someone who worked in retail for 20 years, I can tell you that the front line people don't really have any control over things like this. They can say they sympathize. They can say they'll pass the information on. And that's really all. They can't do anything. The feedback page gets the information to the people who can do something. They can look at the aggregated data. They probably have charts and graphs and tables saying who suggested what an how many people complained about something else. And some decisions are most likely based on that data. I know that where I used to work (a company not that far behind Apple in the Fortune 500), upper management paid a lot more attention to the customer feedback that came in through feedback channels than it did to anything I or my colleagues ever said.

So, you can badger people who can't do anything or you can get the information to the people who can.

Cite my source for what?

Apple is not preventing mighty text from writing apps.

There may not be public APIs to access SMS.

It would be nice if Apple allowed Mighty Text to make an app for the iPhone. I think this is the issue. Since most computer users operate on PCs, it would allow flexibility for those people who own iPhones as well as PCs.

Are there any apps that allow for managing all communication (text and iMessages) from your computer?

The issue I'm having is iMessages does not send/receive texts. If an iPhone user responds to my message but steps out of range of wifi, I won't see it on my laptop, because it came through as a text. It makes for a very inefficient workflow. Thoughts?

"If an iPhone user responds to my message but steps out of range of wifi, I won't see it on my laptop, because it came through as a text"

Why do you think they will come through as text? They won't.

If they are sent as iMessages, they are not sent as text, whether the sender is on wifi or not.

Let my son talk me into an I-phone. Father still knows best.

Any idea if apple will open eyes and let MightyText in? I use MightyText more than I use my phone. I guess that's why Android has 6 times the market share as apple.

Apple let us know if you decide to develop an app that allows me the ability to text from my computer.

I miss MightyText as well. I use Mac and PC at home and at school. In the classroom, I use Remind as a solution, but it requires the student to sign up first. When I want to contact parents in bulk, at the beginning of the school year, I really need MightyText. This time last year, I was using Android. Actually, I still have my Note3, and just tried to use it, and since it is not an active "phone" it would not work.

I switched back to Apple in October. Glad to be back with Apple for lots of reasons, but REALLY miss the inability to schedule messages and MightyText. I get the MightyText issues, but the inability to schedule messages drives me CRAZY!! Why Apple? What can't something so simple be added after years of requests to do so?

I'm going back to Android,

You should always buy the tool that best meets your needs and budget. If you've determined that's an Android phone, that's what you should buy. Your needs, however, may not be the same as everyone else's.

You'd said, "Apple is not preventing Mighty Text from doing anything." I was hoping there had been a resolution for this issue.

No Kidding!

Not all PC's are Mac either, it would help me greatly if I could text from my work windows computer... This drives me absolutely crazy!

Please make it happen Apple.

Mightytext is not an Apple app.
