How much more convenient would it be to be able to answer your emails with a quick SMS message than to have to go through the whole rigmarole of replying directly? You can still text them via your smartphone, of course, but that does involve finding your phone first. Then you can type in your message on that tiny keyboard after checking the email address on the computer. It’s all a bit messy, isn't it? And who knows if your service provider charges you for text messaging or whether you have enough credit left? MooMle is one of those communication applications that makes you wish that it had come by default with every smartphone. It lets you send and receive SMS messages to and from your email service without the need to download or install anything.
 
MooMle was originally developed because it was realized that people - whether they be at work or at home - tend to sit in front of their computer to check their mailbox and it would be more convenient to message straight back from their computer directly. The way it is at the moment (and if you are anything like many of my friends) the first problem that crops up at this point is the hunt for their smartphone so that they can reply by SMS.  Maybe it's tucked away in their jacket pocket or it could be in their bag...hopefully it isn't in another room. Let's assume the phone has been found. The next problem lies in the rather ludicrous situation of having to type out your reply on the phone's tiny keyboard when you have a very capable, full sized keyboard sitting there right in front of you. MooMle not only let's you reply to and receive SMS messages through your regular email or web mail service but it also forwards it on to your email so you will have all your communication in one place. Messages are guaranteed to be delivered on time and, if the recipient isn't online, the SMS is sent to their mobile as a text message. Finally, and as an extra special bonus, if both the sender and the receiver are MooMle users and both are online, the message is free.
 
MooMle is one of those beautifully simple communication and SMS applications that does nothing else but make your online existence just that little bit easier. The difference between this and other similar apps, however, is that there is nothing to install except for the app itself and you can literally be up and running in seconds. All you need is an email account or webmail and you can be starting or receiving conversations from any device immediately. And don't forget the cost factor. If you are both MooMle users and both online, the conversations will be completely free. Don't you wish you had it installed already?
