tried text only export and it gave me word bubbles but without timestamps. the "legal" version is also word bubbles? How unprofessional. you realize lawyers charge per page right? There should definitely be a text-only legal version. Time and date stamps should always be shown. what garbage.

Outstanding! This app is near perfection, simple, and intuitive. You can tell that this developer designed this app with care and devotion to produce a solution for a problem that should not exist. Being able to effortlessly backup my pictures, messages, videos, etc. that were stuck in purgatory was well worth the cost for this app. The stats page was also actually pretty cool too. There is a running joke about how I never text anyone back. Thanks to this app I can say that joke is true.

I've tried so many of these apps. So many can't handle RCS or archived chats. Or they take ages to download. This app worked and it downloaded a thread with over 85000 RCS in a minute or two to a single fill pdf that was actually text based instead of image based which is perfect for using the file in data based projects. I immediately paid for the subscription.

That it does what it says it does is great but after letting it run for a couple of hours with zero (apparent) progress is unacceptable. And that was with just one message thread. New point, phone number is not saved so for some contacts with multiple numbers it becomes problematic in determining which number is the one used for texting them.

Fantastic. Lets you save your old text messages to a bunch of essentially, plaintext files in a folder of your choosing on your SD card etc. Great when just wanting to rescue a few notable txts off an old phone. Delete the years of rubbish first, then just save what's important to a few HTML files, easy. If you ever need to go back and check old messages, any browser can read the HTML files (or you can even just dive into them with a text editor). Worked intuitively & flawlessly 1st time

Works very well. Except: allows full page ads, which these days all try to represent apps, telling people what to do to for the "next step", i.e., deceive the user.

Did exactly what I needed it to first try. Transferring SMS messages from one phone to another. Somehow the cable transfer to my new phone didn't pick up SMS messages despite being backed up to Google Drive. This app did the trick by uploading all the texts from the old phone to Google Drive and then after installing the app on my new phone could download extract. Tip: everything goes back into your main folder so that includes spam and blocked and archived so tidy up on old phone before extract

Does not recognise bulk SMS headers. These text messages may contain important information such a bank transactions, income tax notices and other personal finance matters.

Excellent app!! It was not as difficult as it was explained by some. It hardly took me 10 minutes to restore all my messages to a new phone. Just had to understand how to do it, before trying to restore. That's all. Great help. Thanks!

Oh my goodness, this app is awesome. The app doesn't push paid version at all. So generous. It's smooth and fast when backup synching. Mind that, my phone is an ancient free 4g. This SMS Backup baby not only works well downloading to the phone storage but also enables me to share/upload onto my Google Drive - saved/sorted/organized by the persons I have texted for years that I didn't even expect to retreat back. Miracle! Thank you...thank you...

Please add the option to save to an external memory card, and not just internally. Also, add the option to customize how to save the date to the backup file name, for example, I would like the date to be saved as 2021-03-07 as part of the file name... and finally, add the option to choose saving as "json" or not. At the moment, it does both html and json without asking.

Worked like described. Only option to save as HTML, also makes a json file for restore in the future. Grabs the name from your contacts list. Grabs the images and all groupchats as they should be. Worked fast!

This app does a good job Restoring SMS but will not restore MMS pictures at all. After I initially gave the app a 1 star being very disappointed it would not restore MMS after reading other reviews, I have re rated it now to 4 star as it does a good job for SMS. Customer service of the app was great and replied to my messages fairly quickly as well. So anyone wanting to Restore MMS messages, this app is not for you.

Backs up the messages but attributes some messages in a group thread to the wrong person. Running version 2.62 so version 2.6 did not fix it like the developer said.

I do not know much about this app but (and this is huge) I have succeeded in backing up my chosen MSMs as HTML files and preserved them on both a PC and a MAC. MSM Backup saves HTML(s) with dates for each contact. The MAC requires a program such as Android File Transfer to copy the HTML(s). Win10 does this natively in Explorer.

After spending days and countless applications with the intent to simply take my text messages and put them on my new phone. This was the light at the end of the tunnel. it's simply created a zip which then I was able to open using the same application on my new phone and all my text messages came back, just like that. Great, simple, and easy. Thank you

I feel compelled to write a review on this app, as I spent a couple of frustrating days trying a couple of different apps in order to back up a specific SMS string (need the record in order to take contractor to small claims court). I installed the app, I was successfully able to isolate the record along with pictures and download it to my computer. This went flawlessly and quickly, and without issue. This app definitely saved the day for me. Kudos to the developer!!

Odd. It downloaded everything and I can open it and read on my laptop, but it switched some of the messages. Some of the messages are attributed to the other person, but it was me, and vice versa. Some are correct though. Either way I have them all at least. Just odd how it switched some.

When I downloaded the conversations, it appears that all of the messages are from one person, rather than it being a conversation between 2 people. Picture weren't downloaded, and MMS conversations couldn't be backed up. This did nothing that I needed.

I tried the top three SMS backup apps and this one is the best by a landslide. I didn't encounter any bugs. It worked on the first try and even backs up images. Best part is it provides an HTML view of your text messages so you don't have to worry about parsing json.

Does not save both sides of the conversation From Samsung's galaxy 8, att All conversations. Only the other persons texts are saved, none of my replies... My bad on the review. I didn't realize that my issue was based on the Advance SMS feature from AT&T and not the app. Turning off this feature enbaled the app to do it's job. Chatted with developer, very personable and responsive!

An easy to use App. Backup gets saved in phone memory with options of saving them in Google Drive and Clouds also. You can even copy the backup from phone memory to anywhere else or some other cloud. Just install the app in the new phone and restore messages. It includes MMS feature, i.e. messages with media also.

I was scared it's work or need to keep this app for ever to see the old messages to see from the old phone to new phone after transferred. Buts the steps worked well. 1. Install the app on old phone and back up to Google drive account which using on both phone. 2. Install the app on new phone and choose to restore from the same account from the folder where you are backup the file. It will ask to change to default SMS app., Please, go-ahead and restore. Then change to SMS and delete this app.

New review after update : It now backups longer messages, pictures and what not in an easy to open HTML file that you can open in any browser, all in an easy on the eye page that looks like an actual text conversations. It doesn't save/show timestamp of individual messages, only the day they were sent. It cannot yet restore MMS messages. So if you back them up, don't expect to restore them. Has a fullscreen ad after a backup.

Excellent or Perfect I switched my phone and used this app to back up my SMS/ Text messages. It worked just perfect for both backing up messages and restoring it on my new device Its not just that, I had doubts on how to save my messages before getting rid of old device. So I decided to write to developer. He honestly replied clearing my doubts and also suggested better way to backup So full marks to the developer and the app I highly recommend this app as it precisely does what it claims!

Would give 5 if it were able to backup/restore Advanced Calls & Text Messages. Had changed phones not realizing calls &text messages were set to Advanced Messages-a great concept, but from my understanding are not able to be backed up via 3rd party app. I de-selected 'Advanced' phone settings but any message/phone call sent or received while phone set to Advsnced Messages will not back up via SMS Backup.

After agreeing to permissions, app collects all your text threads and organizes them by contact. You're supposed to deselect or select any text threads you want to backup... Except the text thread conversation I want to back up is incorrectly labeled as "contact's name and two others". What two others? This is a thread conversation between only my friend and I (no others). I can't even preview who these two supposed others are. Then when I back it up and try to send to my gmail... Too large....

Great app!! Does the job!! I needed to transfer nearly 200k SMSes from my old phone that had almost no memory left. This app was the only app that worked for me because it allows you to bring each convo over individually. (I tried MANY other apps & they either didn't work, or my phone would crash due to the volume of messages.) Everything converted wonderfully. Thank you so much for making this app. I am so grateful for your hard work every time I see my old messages on my new phone.

Good app to transfer your sms from one device to another. I believe Google can backup your messages too but if you have skipped the restore step on your new phone, you are out of luck. This app solves it and allows you to append your old backed up messages to the current messages. Additionally, it outputs a zip file that you can archive for viewing as a JSON or in a friendly HTML file. Highly recommended.

This app is brilliant - straightforward to use, options to store in internal memory or email, really good bubble display of the conversation in docs display. Perfect.

Among the backup apps I've tried so far, this one seems to work the best. However, the exported set of sms threads are in a random order. I think most people would really like to have them in proper order from the oldest to newest. It would be so much better we had the option to name each thread with the date of the last message in the thread. So each thread would be named like "2017-04-15 John Smith.html". This way all the oldest and newest threads would be in their place. Or alternatively, have an index.html file that links to all the threads in proper order. This would made the app 5-stars for sure!
