It's not letting me sign up to use the service it says I Mee internet when I've got internet access

What a fantastic idea. I have unlimited data but it is not equal in quality at times. It would seem the various carriers will be extremely interested to know you and your creative, brilliant minds sooner than later. Thank you for such a needed and amazing app.

Getting directions took a long time. Searches and news you're only getting results and headlines, so no articles or full info unless it's through the wiki. Sometimes wiki didn't have the answer, so overall this app is definitely still in beta stage.

Just found ur app. Definitely one of the more imaginative apps I've found. I have 31 gigs/month of data thru Verizon, but everybody needs a backup. Only complaint so far is that there is no tech news. The tech section is always the first thing I check out in any news app I use. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to see what u guys do with this.

I am amazed at what this little app can do. I have T-Mobile and everybody knows its not the best for travelling. Those 70-80 mile roads in the middle of nowhere without lte can be tricky but with this app I am just in shock. Excellent , incredible all that has helped me travel without lte :)

I recently switched to Republic Wireless and chose not to have the data option to save lots of money. At first I was worried about not having a tool for directions, news, etc. This app is incredible. I never would have thought SMS could be used in place of 4 or 3g but this app has proven that it is possible. Now back to saving money.

This is because in the terms of conditions it mentions that smsmart will use my contacts to "share smsmart with [my] friends." I would like to know what this means, will it be me sharing it with them voluntarily, is this something you use to cover for yourselves later (in which you case please respond if aren't doing much with that data as of this moment), or are you going to be harassing my friends (I trust this isn't the case)? The answer doesn't have to be legally binding, just a dev response.

This is every persons dream who is getting data screwed by the big companies who charge an arm and a leg for a GB or 2 of data. Checked out most of the app with impressive results! Directions were fantastic even for a 3 and half hour car ride. It reminds of the days when internet was only really words no pictures but it got the job done. The difference is this is free if you have unlimited texting. I'm considering dropping the data off totally cause WiFi is virtually everywhere if not then bam here ya go.

A great idea which makes the world more accessible. However it might not ever see that much usage. It appears the service is no longer running :( . Would be nice if they could publish the sources to GitHub, and let someone else try to maintain it.

I use the 10 dollar plan for Republic Wireless, so I have no data. I use this app as a backup in case I need directions and there is no Wi-Fi. I use CM security to block the incoming texts since my phone does not have that capability. Over all it seems to do what it says it does and I have had no issues with it.

A. G. u. Sep 26, 2015     

The app stopped working on my S5. Uninstalled. Doing okay so far on my Note 4.

Sha. L. P. C. A. May 16, 2015     

On this device nor on my Android 4.1.2 which kept asking me to connect to internet even though I was online via Comcast Xfinity.

Cod. W. Dec 16, 2015     

Limited in scope but it is available where data is not and when data is blocked or you are over. If you know what to search for it can answer most questions. Make sure to have text blocking or turn of sounds when you start otherwise the app is annoying as all hell

Zor. Z. May 12, 2015     

This will definitely get u out of a jam. Excellent idea. BTW thanks drippler.

Unable to get through the welcome flow. I get a network error but I have good internet ... I'm writing this review using it.

Tyl. R. Sep 22, 2015     

This concept is absolutely brilliant. I go on vacation to places where I can get texts, but not data, so this app is wonderful in those situations. My only complaint is that you can't receive a lot of data so I would like to see that change. Otherwise, it's a great app and I'm shocked that it's not more noticed.

Num. Apr 16, 2017     

It's so slow. I moved from the USA to kenya and that's maybe why it's so slow but ugh i just cant need help

Bri. J. Apr 30, 2015     

I have Metro PCS and coverage is horrible a lot. Only thing I can add is Facebook. I don't use Twitter. But hey, it is free.

Ter. T. Apr 30, 2015     

It's still only in beta but what a revolution this will be for all with unlimited texts. Super Dooper fast, but needs to expand.

Jus. J. Oct 15, 2016     

Works quite well. Would be nice to see a fully functional browser, list of results isn't too useful

Gen. C. Jun 10, 2015     

This will be very useful for me, so far it is working as described. I would give it 5 stars if it had the option to open pages when searched for. All there is currently, is a search function that will send you back the top search results and a header but with no way to access the site.

A. G. u. Apr 25, 2015     

I'm on 3 network and the welcomr message never came. Didnt find anything to say it wont work in UK that's why the 1 star

Jam. E. Apr 30, 2015     

It says I've not got a data connection, even when I'm connected to either WiFi or mobile data.

Kei. R. May 26, 2017     

Used to work fine. Now it either tells me I need to connect to a network when I'm already connected, or it spins endlessly and never does anything.

Sco. M. Apr 26, 2015     

It installed correctly. When I try to use it an error appears sms is blocked and the routine will not stop. Never seen It work.

A. G. u. Apr 26, 2015     

Tried a few searches and it was fast and worked well. Just lowered my data plan so this should help when I'm not near Wi-Fi.

Jac. C. May 2, 2015     

Idea is great, very useful and I'm looking forward to seeing future updates with more features like being able to see the actual websites within search results but overall works very well for early on. Also would like to be able to check sport score updates

Luk. B. Oct 23, 2016     

This app is amazing. All it needs is the ability to grab and bring back images. Also more social media services would be cool. Ik Twitter is the easiest, but it's gotta be possible to do Instagram or Google+

Eri. H. May 1, 2015     

I can't wait to see what it ends up like but it seems todo what it says

ele. Oct 2, 2017     

This app does not work! I submitted a request to search the internet in a 4 g connection area but no results.
