Pushbullet vs Google Play Books

Pushbullet also allows its users to push messages, links, files, locations, and more to any of their devices or to other Pushbullet users.

After installing the Pushbullet application the set up process is as easy as it gets. Pushbullet will first ask you to sign in to your Google account. Then all you have to do is enable notification access and install the Chrome extension.

Pushbullet is just as fast as its name suggests at mirroring notifications or pushing links or files.

Pushbullet is designed to use its Chrome extension although a Windows application can be used as well. The Chrome extension provides the best experience because any computer with a signed in Chrome browser will provide your Android notifications.

As long as you enable "Keep Pushbullet running after I close Chrome" in the Pushbullet extension options, Chrome does not need to be open to receive notifications.

Pushbullet is free with no advertisements.

Pushbullet uses Chrome notifications to act as a running list of past notification that have not yet been dismissed. This is especially useful if you receive a lot of notifications or you are not at your computer when they are received.

Pushbullet can even sync notifcations with other Android devices (beta). This helps prevent you from having to dismiss notifications more than once and allows you to always see your notifications no matter what device you're on.

Pushbullet includes the sender's name, email address, unread count, subject, and a preview of the message all in the notification.
