User Reviews

Pushbullet is praised for cross-device SMS access and notifications, plus easy sharing of links/files across phones and PC, and a simple, long‑time‑stable UX. However, many reviews say the project feels abandoned with little active development, Chrome/Apple store support dropped, and cross‑platform features shrinking. Security concerns (OTP handling, data exposure) and recurring issues like being logged out and unreliable file downloads are also mentioned. Pricing complaints add to the sentiment. Overall: useful but risky due to inactivity and security concerns.

Pros

Cross-device SMS access and notifications (read texts on PC, sync across devices)
Easy cross-platform sharing and integrations (share links; works with N8N/Node-RED)
Simple, user-friendly interface
Long-standing usefulness and reliability (years of use)
Works across multiple devices (phones and PC) for messaging and notifications

Cons

Abandoned/not actively updated; limited development
Chrome extension and other platform support removed (Chrome/Apple store) causing loss of functionality
Privacy and security concerns (OTP handling, potential data exposure)
Frequent logouts / session instability
File download/reliability issues (downloads hang or fail)

Recent reviews

initially i gave 5 star but now it's not worth one. It only worked for a day or two. then it stopped pushing notifications, not even test notifications. I had to reinstall the app resign up then worked for a day and again it stopped. Am I supposed to do this every time I try using it.
