Apps look to address iPhone’s inability to send pictures via MMS

by Jeffery Battersby, Macworld.com

Palringo and Flutter both attempt to fill the void left by the iPhone’s built-in Text app. While Text can send SMS messages, it’s incapable of sending pictures via the Multimedia Messaging Service, or MMS.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

Great app but...

This app is a great one, keeps chat history, lets you log into multiple IM accounts from the same or different chat clients. Has a decent built in "groups" feature.Where this application falls short is the current release as of this writing is supposed to support push notifications, but according to the developer they've found a bug which prevents it, even though apparently it's working in the premium version. They've also recently added ads to this version. From the looks of it, when they get if fixed, you'll even be able to choose which of your accounts you want notifications from and which you don't.Bottom line, it has pretty much everything I was looking for, minus the "bug" with push notifications. Once push notifications is fixed, for me, it's a 5 star app!
