AirDroid brings your mobile notifications to your computer and, in addition, lets you send text messages, receive calls, respond to notifications, and even control the mobile device using your mouse and keyboard.

Pros

Notification forwarding: Once AirDroid is set up on your PC and your Android device, you can start forwarding your mobile notifications to your computer. The great thing is that these are actionable notifications, so you can perform some basic operations right then and there.

Wireless interactions: If you plan on having a long chat with a friend, you can use your PC and its keyboard to type; you may also pick up calls from your computer as well as send files back and forth. Not all features are available on unrooted devices, though.

Device mirroring: If you do happen to have a rooted device, you’ll be able to view its screen as a window on your PC. From there you can control everything on the phone or tablet using your mouse and keyboard.

Cons

Root recommended: Some features, such as device mirroring, are only available on a few certified devices as well as all rooted ones. The software does function on stock handsets as well, but is infinitely more useful on rooted ones.

Data caps: The free tier of the service limits the size of the files you can send to and from the Android device to 30MB. There is also a 200MB data limit when your phone or tablet communicates with your computer while they’re on different networks.

Bottom Line

If you own several Android devices and are tired of having to check them for missed notifications, you should definitely give AirDroid a go. This service will not only establish a centralized place for all of your Android notifications, it will also allow you to interact with your phone or tablet without switching devices.

AirDroid for Mac bridges the gap between your Mac and Android device, allowing them to work more easily together and without the need for a USB cable. In no time, we were sending and answering text messages from our Mac and transferring files from our Android device to our Mac.

Pros

Intuitive interface: Essentially, because you have to download the app twice, you’re dealing with two different interfaces: the Mac version and the Android version. However, we found both extremely easy to use. The Android app contains all of your menu options on one screen. Likewise, the Mac interface is just as easy to navigate. The menu options reside on the left side of the screen, and, depending on what you select, the files or text messages appear on the right.

Instant notifications: We found no lag time in transferring text messages, photos, and files to and from devices. We selected a JPG from our Mac, and a notification immediately appeared in the File Transfer icon on our Android device. Text message notifications immediately appeared on our Mac, and we were able to read and respond with the same speed.

Cons

More than one install: It shouldn’t be a surprise, but in order to get your Android device and your Mac to “talk” to each other, you must download and install the software not only on your Mac, but also on your Android device.

AirMirror might not work: It is still in Beta, but AirMirror did not work on our Android device because our device is not supported. However, the developers claim to be working with Android manufacturers to get more devices certified.

Bottom Line

AirDroid for Mac is an extremely useful program for anyone who has different devices. Even if you can’t get AirMirror to work, it’ll save you a lot of time and frustration. For that we recommend it to all users.
