Official bummer. I’ve scoured the internet for 3 weeks. There isn’t a comprehensive alternative to PushBullet. There is a ledger cramped full of suitors providing a superior experience for specific tasks. Do one thing great, or do everything ok? In fairness, PushBullet does many things well.
When Push Bullet switched to a for pay pro model I couldn’t deal. I was hot under the collar, steam flowing from my izod size 15 ½. My feelings are best summed up by Mikey from the major motion film The Goonies.
The second I fork over the 5 bucks to Push Bullet for their host of services it’s done. I’ll be riding up a bucket. The journey finished. Genius Web Annotator is a gem I stumbled upon. It’s our time, sort of. Either way, Genius Web Annotator is worth a peek.
