That's basically Hangouts. I sms more from my computer than my phone but it's all synced everywhere. I'm even smsing with a co-worker from my tablet right now.

- JayNitram 8y agoAgreed, and it was even better before they reduced a lot of the functionality for non Fi users.
- ryan_j_naughton 8y agoWhat functionality did they reduce for non-fi users?

- grogenaut 8y agoos x, ios, and nothing else. That's the thing I like about gchat, it works everywhere.
- pookeh 8y agoSure but I am talking about the quality of product and the vision. There is coherence. Gchat works everywhere but is not well integrated with anything. Disclaimer: there are no ios devices in my house and I am android guy all the way. But wow does messaging suck compared to ios world
- owenwil 8y agoThere's coherence? Try sending a message with an effect to a Mac user. (Sent with Fireworks)
- ryan_j_naughton 8y agoYour "That's basically Hangouts" arrangements statement is true when it comes to: >It's also synced to all my devices flawlessly. But as for Hangouts being flawless messaging and not just some buggy app, I have to disagree. Often I'll type a message and hit send, it will stay in sending and never actually send. I'll need to kill the app and when I reopen, the message is gone but if I retype it and hit send, it sends immediately. This is on a Pixel 2 with Project Fi or WiFi. Clearly that aren't doing something properly and I feel quality of the app has degraded as their efforts go elsewhere, viz. Allo, messages, etc. Hangouts is flawless on the browser on my laptop though.
- Dayshine 8y agoI've only ever had this happen on very very patchy internet connections. Usually when there's a captive portal that I haven't logged into (so the app doesn't know it's being blackholed).

I have a Pixel 2, with Project Fi, and haven't ever really had this issue.
