Is anybody using this software? I'am, and it's a very good little app for windows 8 to allow texting from PC to mobile.

Question: In the windows 8 app version there are no settings to change the numbers to names like you can in the browser version?

It's great to hear that you find the Windows 8 app for texting from PC to mobile useful!
Regarding your question about changing numbers to names in the Windows 8 app version, I can provide some insights:
1. Windows 8 App Settings: If the Windows 8 app specifically doesn't have an option to change numbers to names, it might be a limitation of that particular version of the app.
2. Alternate Approaches:
- Manual Entry: One workaround could be to manually save the phone numbers with the corresponding names in your contacts list on your phone or in the app if possible.
- Syncing Contacts: Ensure that your contacts are synced across devices so that the names associated with numbers appear in the messaging app...

- Feedback and Updates: Providing feedback to the app developer about this feature could potentially lead to it being implemented in future updates.
3. Browser Version vs. App Version: It's common for app versions to have slightly different features or settings compared to their browser counterparts. This variation could explain why the settings to change numbers to names are available in the browser version but not in the Windows 8 app version.
If you're looking for a seamless experience across your devices, syncing contacts and providing feedback for feature requests are good ways to enhance your user experience.
