Used fishtext for years with minor problems - cheapest texting app - but for the last year, credits been coming out my account, says message sent but recipients not receiving the message. Such a let down

No longer works

Stopped working months ago and developer doesn't care. Owner of websms doesn't care either. I guess you get what you pay for. However if it does not work, Google should pull the plug and remove this crapware, including websms.

Was great while it was working. For the last week or so though it will not connect to Fishtext (and keep getting error trying to download from this site). Other similar Apps are working with Fishtext, so must be an issue with this connector or WebSMS. Issue reported at website but closed without comment EDIT: Now working again, so I love it again

Pains me to give a one-star rating but it seems like this connector isn't working anymore :( Dev, could you have a look? At least a response to let us know you're looking into it?

Use to work well but now I just get a HTTP error. I tried signing on to the fishtext web site and messages send fine from there. So regretfully I have uninstalled websms and the fishtext connector.

After many years using this it looks like the maintainer has stopped looking after it & it no longer works.

C70%
by C####:

Now it no longer shows my fish balance. And no.longer sends texts. Rather frustrating that it does not pick up from contacts in the correct format. So need to slip off extra characters.

I believe this is a spyware or even virus, keeps leading you to download one more app till they copy all your information.

Same problem, stop working few days ago

Works as well as the old connector. The send cost is a nice touch to help those of us who often text to different countries keep track.

HTC Desire. Works perfect! Do like the new confirmation feature and more robust network I/O added by new maintainer.

How do you create and then install the user id and password to the websms?

Just moved to android from symbian and was mourning the loss of the fishtext app.. Until I found this!.. Works just like the java app. Will be 5* when Fin gets 'check incoming' working.. (Issue 172).. :-P

I can send messages, my load has been deducted but they can't receive my messages and it's been 2weeks now. Please fix soon.

I have used fishtext for ages on my iPhone glad to see there is a client for Android and it works perfectly.

S70%
by S####:

I have been working with this connector for long. In the past few days Im also experiencing the same HTTP error described by the last user, which is most likely a change in fishtext service, but it has been working for the past 2 years. Hopefully Fintan will take a look at this problem. Thank you very much for your work

Sorry, wrong rating. Actually this is really good, the problem is with websms

Always ask you to update connector when that option is already ticked. Forces close and loses written texts grrr
