Actually, it's pretty decent so far . . . I'm a regular guy who uses an iPhone. I'm not some pimped employee who's paid to write these ridiculously false five-star reviews and "misspell" a few words to make it seem "authentic." I'm sure Flutter has them on here too. However, this app does seem to work fairly well, so far. It does what it says. It's not the app from hell like the one-star reviews claim. It's not God's gift like the 5-star reviews say. For me, so far It works, it's pretty simple. That's it. If it messes up or gets better, I'll let you know.

Would like to rate this higher, but ... Let's be honest, this program is a stop-gap measure at best. It's decent at what it does, so I don't downgrade it for that. I've tested it iPhone to iPhone, and I like it better than the stupid native viewmymessage.com. At least it's a direct link. But, I'll echo the comments of others. It doesn't allow you to receive MMS links. It doesn't allow you to send an MMS to someone other than those on your contact list. The geotag feature is spotty at best. It's also most useful if you're sending the link to someone else with a smart phone. Not very many people I know have one.That last part is no fault of the programmers. It's Apple's refusal to add MMS that is the culprit here. I have to give Juice Wireless at least three stars for the effort. There are some specific things I would like to see in the update:1. Allow users to send the link to someone other than those on their contact list. Improve the contact list by adding a search feature and an alphabet scroller on the right-hand side.2. Work on the geotagging. This needs to be as accurate as maps, and it just isn't. Not sure why.3. Find some way to allow users to receive MMS. Your website says you're working on this. This should be the number one priority.If you do numbers one and two, I'd give the app four stars. If you do all three, I'd give it five. In fact, I'd probably give it five even if you just did number three.APPLE: Pay attention to the popularity of this app! It's in the top 100 of free apps and it's got very limited function. The demand for MMS is huge. Why no native MMS? I'm pleading with you, here. This phone is one of the best things I've ever purchased. It's pathetic that any dinky cell out there can send and receive pictures and we've still got nothing. Give us some love, please. - Flutter review by Mike the Knife
Not so good The idea was promising. But first, when you want to see the legal stuff, it tells you "blah blah blah". So that was the first warning I should have heeded. It does take a long time to get the code. Warning number 2. After I deleted it, I finally got the code and decided to reinstall just to give it a look. You are immediately faced with a decision to take a picture or pick one. I sent one, but forgot what I had to do to get it to stop asking me about pics and just be able to text. So it wasnt very intuitive. But another big problem I havent seen mentioned in the other comments yet, is that there is no way to go back and see the mms messages you have sent, as you can see your text message history on the sms app. So you send them, and they kinda disappear. ALso there is not a site you can readily find to go see this link. There is no information about a site on the app at all. you dont know where your registration actually goes since it just says "blah blah blah" on the legal agreement in the app. I even went over to juice wireless site, and there is nothing on that site about flutter, at least not as of the time I was trying the app. So I ended up deleting it again. I dont think I will give it another try at all, even with an update. Maybe Apple will do something about this issue in a future update? Seems like all the alternatives require you go through a third party, and I am not interested in that at all. Some folks may find it useful in some way, but right now, its not ready for prime time. - Flutter review by dhayman
Junk I got really excited when I saw this app come down the pipe and had to get it only to be REALLY disappointed. The recipient can only view the message if they go to a website. Thus, this is not picture messaging at all. Emailing is still the way to go for now. - Flutter review by Ctyus
nice app this is a cool app that lets you send picture messages and even recieve them. i tried this by sending one to myself. if your not sending it to an iphone then the person your sending it to will need an interenet connection to look at the pic, but works well and you can geotag as well - Flutter review by ara3077
Good start! If Flutter were the only app of its kind, it would garner more stars. However, there are far more usable apps like this one. (Quip is my favorite.) Flutter is rather slow and complicated for what it is. It works as intended, and is a great app for its purpose. There are just better out there. Sorry, Flutter!Also, it always gets my address wrong. I don't even think there is an address around me like what it gives. - Flutter review by HighestStandards
review Tried the app but it has alot of bugs. It doesnt find your correct location. Mines repeatedly off by 5 miles or so. You also can only send pics to people already on your contact list. You cant just type in a phone number. Ive sent a few people pictures and its been over 30 minutes and still they havent received it. Very laggy, And as far as i know, it doesnt work yet. Although the idea is a great one. - Flutter review by krammit
Not so great I would rather send an email because at least then all my friends with regular phones will still get the picture. This is only good for smart phones and doesn't help the receiving issue. What's the point? - Flutter review by Pridepuppy
What? Ok this was at least a good idea. Have tried several times and unable to send before the program crashes. I am unable to choose a recipient unless they are in the address book already. It would be helpful to manually enter cell number to send. Keep trying guys. - Flutter review by josh2129
Not true MMS, Cannot receive MMS, Better Alternatives Available I won't rehash what all the other reviewers have already said about this not being a true MMS app. I'll give it two stars instead of one because it's free. Otherwise the app is slow and buggy and not worth your time. I also question the business practices of the developer as a day after installing Flutter I received an unrequested marketing e-mail from Juice Wireless. It wasn't exactly spam, but I think the developer should allow people to opt-in to such e-mails rather than have to unsubscribe after the fact.If you are looking for a true MMS app for the iPhone, search for Swirly MMS on the web. They just released a new update that works with the iPhone 2.1 software. - Flutter review by SVKinAZ
Smooth basic functionality Basic sending of location and photo works without a glitch. There are few quirks to be worked out still, as in the location being about 300 yards off and some difficulty with screen buttons, but still it is very usable as is. - Flutter review by Leon Choi
Not what I hoped for... First of all it is yet another site or service respectively that you have to join in order to even use this...and then it actually only works for the US, so it is totally useless to the rest of the world...! Is it so hard to put some (relevant) basic info in the description to prevent people from wasting their time...?! At least it's free so I assume a few people over there might find it okay...But from I have learned from all the other reviews is that it's not even able to actually send a picture to other cellphones but just sends a web link instead...!? So there's not really any additional value to using this compared with what we have right now... - Flutter review by mangaphreak
It's A Nice Start I've been able to send a pic to several people's cell phones so it seems to work. This app is MUCH needed for the iPhone!Pros:-Adds limited MMS capabilites to the iPhone-Very simple to use-Registration is quick and is done directly from the iPhone itselfCons:-Very "Touchy" - the app completely crashed several times during each attempt to send a pic-Lag when you touch the button to add recipients (larger touch area to activate the button would help - as is, you have to be VERY precise to activate it)-Lag when scrolling through your contacts (a search function is really needed here)-No ability to recieve MMS messagesI'm hopping these issues will be addressed soon in upcoming updates. If Juice Wireless can tighten things up a bit, it seems like they'll have a real winner on thier hands. - Flutter review by BigHill525
Wow! I am amazed, this app is what every iPhone user should have or just plain MMS...apple.. >.>.. Anyways you should be able to reply to this and have it be able to recieve photos! - Flutter review by EAPS
Awsome idea. No code. I think this is a great idea but all night I have yet to receive a conformation code to sign up... Also based off what it looks like, it still just only sends a link, rather than an actual pic to the phone... No good for those recipients with no Internet... - Flutter review by KKENN
what's wrong with you people?! what the hell? this app is GREAT and I think it's BETTER than quip. you can dis-agree, but I don't care. just read these and think...
1. what are you complaining about?
2. it IS giving me what apple didn't
3. better than quip
4. if your someone who hasn't got this app, then GET IT! don't listen to them! it's a great app! - Flutter review by Showstopperhbk59
Pass on it Can't receive MMS & is little buggy. Receiver gets a compressed image that's rough but at the least that works. C'mon AT&T, give us real MMS already! - Flutter review by NineToez
Not what I hoped for... I was hoping for an app that would both receive and send MMS messages from any phone like every other phone in the world does, but it doesn't quite fit the bill. I don't know yet whether it will send MMS correctly, but it doesn't receive MMS messages. Hopefully, someday Apple will come to their senses and create an app themselves, or some other 3rd party will make a comprehensive app. - Flutter review by HawLL
interesting, recommends with caution I think that the application offers a much desired function. it would be great if it were not being delivered as a link but it helps in the struggle with MMS. however the contacts screen needs a lot of work if you have a large amount of contacts it crashes and it does not read them as they are listed. still works. - Flutter review by candelwish
retarded app but the icon is pretty though This app is spamming my friend's phone with the same txt msg over and over. How do i stop this? - Flutter review by SuperCuu
