We found the MightyText experience to be painless, and the service itself was incredibly convenient. It was much faster and easier to type SMS replies to friends and family, rather than using the keyboard on our Android phone. We also enjoyed having all of our text conversations and call logs recorded on our computer, which can be a huge lifesaver for anyone that has gone through the frustration of restoring or replacing their device. All in all, this particular Chrome extension was a rather useful method of managing texts and calls.That's not to say it was perfect, as the program's still in beta and getting a regular dose of updates, but it still ran very smooth. While the pre-release version admittedly had a few bugs, such as the occasional delay in receiving and sending texts, the development team informed us that these are in the process of getting ironed out. All of the call logs are combined with messages in the same window, which we found to be somewhat frustrating as well. One final downside is that this type of program can only be used under the care of Google's API codes , so you must have Chrome and a handset with Android 2.2 or higher (and a full data plan) to make it work.Since MightyText is still running under beta, it asks you to fill out a signup sheet (find More Coverage below) and you'll typically get accepted within a few days; by using the invite code "ENGADGET," however, your invitation will be expedited. When you receive the much-anticipated email saying you've been added to the program, instructions on how to download the necessary add-ons and apps will be included.The MightyText team has received so many requests already that any submitted forms as of this point may take a few days to process. They'll still be treated as top priority, but don't be frustrated if it's not within the next 24 hours.
