SMS Backup, Print & Restore

seems to stop letting me export after the first week of September this year...I use this for legal purposes for baking up text messages of an absentee parent who makes threats against me, but now can't.

Clean app that is excellent for downloading specific text conversations into an Excel spreadsheet.

it fits my needs

I work at a law firm, and this app has been very helpful to download and print text messages for court cases.

easy to install and use to create pdf documents

amazing...simply amazing

fast, thorough. didn't pick up today's texts though.

Phenomenal! Best app out there for getting your texts in document form with pictures and emojis. Avoid selecting "Add original media files" (a huge headache) as the app might freeze or take a million years on lengthy conversations. Update: Lost a couple stars, can't get latest RCS, even through browser add-on workflow process.

Simple to use nice UI

This app worked great for me. Was not difficult to use.

simple and worth it

Just what I wanted! Really easy to use. save as PDF, then connect phone to laptop, and save on laptop or print. Perfect

if I get a new phone, but I purchased the pro version on my old phone, do I need to repurchase a pro version for my new phone?

very handy for exporting an entire text history for AI to analyze for domestic abuse.

absolutely insane to charge for more than SIX messages to be exported. If I wanted six messages exported, I could do that myself. garbage app. good luck!

since last update cannot do any backups or email any of the texts threads. reached out to the company for help and have not received a response

can't get it to open zipped file after backing up. there is no clear instructions. waisted $20

6 message limit is so useless it's insulting. just make the app paid - calling it free is a scam.

I like the variety of backup formats!

it's easy to use. I like it.

Very impressive. I can back up and print in many formats.

👍

The app is very buggy. you have to reformat you have to change dates you have to watch language. even though you're text, messaging and everything else is in English, the calendar will change to French. you have to constantly change things because they're changing on their own. so frustrated mean no make good word I'm

You can't do anything with it for free!! NONE! oh wait, you can read your text messages!

Paid for app lifetime access. App is easy to use intuitive straightforward interface. I used and tested option for output in various file formats pdf docx xlsx . all worked great. limitation is that it doesn't seem to handle media files which though a limitation is not that significant for my use

once I figured it out it downloaded to my Mac. i printed the pages and when I looked at them the texts were out of order and some were missing.

awesome

I'm 68 and was able to figure out how to use the ap. I was able to secure the info in an admissible format and send it.

very easy to use

This program allowed me to print out all the text messages between me and a scammer for a court case.

really looking forward to using this app

Indispensable, one of my favorites, with 1 serious flaw. You can save texts as PDFs, change position and appearance of conversation elements, and backup SMS and RCS without requiring a USB cable to a PC. (Another app I used for years, Backuptrans, stopped working when Android 17 locked down E2EE such as RCS.) The only major flaw is in Exporting - File Names. I want yyyy-mm-dd-hhmmss, instead have 29_09_26_072705. Defaulting to regional system settings? It should let you choose proper ISO 8601.

Seems like a very extensive app, but it does not seem to have an actual trial run. It claims to be limited to backing up only 6 messages, but has no mechanism to select only 6 messages; my conversations have more messages than that, so in effect I have no way to try it. Maybe limit try to one conversation? Also, I would like to put the app's all local data storage onto the SMS card, but I could not find that option. I only gave it one star because I like to try before I buy. I could not try it.

Fantastic app, easy to use with clear instructions on how to select messages and assign them to a designated save location. The PDF generator automatically sorts everything chronologically in individual folders if the text thread exceeds the file size of the PDF generator. Great app.

Indispensable if you need to archive or share text conversations.

So far, the ONLY app that got Samsung s135DL TEXTRA files emailed vs SMS Exporter & Print Text Messages!

Bad experience! I needed to print 68 pages of a text tread for court. it printed duplicates, skipped large chunks of messages, the page order was jumbled and no where to number the pages. couldn't get a refund, still trying

This app is so helpful to ingest and analyze a call and message log

It works exactly as expected! I am very pleased with the purchase!

I downloaded this app to save the text messages with my mom who had recently passed away. it was worth it for that alone but have used it to share more information and love it.

6 messages max for the free trial not worth installing

excellent tool!!!

It was great until it stopped working. All my text messages stopped sync as of a certain date. I can't get anything to update beyond that date. I even uninstalled the app and installed it again. It still doesn't work. I've asked support for help. let's see if they respond and can fix it.

total shiite

got this app due to the lazy subcontractors I work with. Well worth the $20 for lifetime subscription. exported the text conversation to pdf and sent it to my boss so he can see what I have to deal with.

installed but not one backup we've had the app installed for months and keep trying different combinations of things to get the app to actually back up our text messages but nothing has happened. and it shows that it's backing up and then fails at the very end

Useless app. You can only export 6 messages at a time. Plus full of ads.

yah so I downloaded this for backing up my late dads texts. you cant do anything without premium sub ($20). was willing to do that once for the convience. it then said you cant purchase through google playbwith "this version" and to contact suppprt for alternate methods of payment. this is super super sketchy. i recommend you stay far away from this app till google catches on and removes it from the store.

unable to save a text thread as a pdf. even paid $20 for the lifetime version and it still is only making backup files instead of PDFs that I can utilize.

works like it should

since the last update I'm unable to open word files.

awesome

easy to use

I used to love this app but within the last month something has happened. It does not back up my text messages and in some cases it will only back up mine but not the other person. I've done some research and something has happened with Google but you would think this company would fix it. I and others depend on this software and would like to keep using it but if it's not fixed I'll have to move on.

exactly what I needed

I really like the app but I can't get it to refresh to all current texts. The specific text strings are often 3 weeks behind or more.

Great!

very happy, saved me from a huge hassles

In a matter of minutes, I was able to pull 3 years of texts for an upcoming hearing. Includes pictures, dates, times and marked "Read". Much better than trying to take 300 screen shots.

Used the app for years and unfortunately it is no longer working. Messages, even RCS would show just fine. Now it won't pull messages. I am so sad by this as I paid to have this app. I tried everything to fix this on my end but seems like it might be a bug or incompatibility with the new encryption updates. Updating. the dev and support team are great. the issue is global with Google messages. They have been keeping me up to date and hoping to see a work around in the next month.

app is trash. the default backup folder is in android/data so it cant be accessed. there is a backup there that I cannot get to now even if i plug the phone into my computer. since then every backup has failed due to lack of storage but the phone has 400 gb of open space. why would a pdf backup be that big???? update based on dev response: the problem is i didnt know i needed to when i did the 1st backup. now i cant access it!

not free

so far i have been able to select the dates of what contact that I need to print. I have never made a folder before but I did so, easily. they asked for this review and so far so good. if this works it will be worth the $20! for life. the app has been around awhile, that would mean the updates are keeping it usable.

doesn't work...waste of money and time

I have been using this app for a number of years now and it is exactly what I need. it allows me to select the conversation and export a PDF directly into the work side of my phone and save it to my work OneDrive. The app exports the text messages in a clean, easy to read format, logs date and time and is intuitive to use. They keep the app updated so that it keeps on working as you would expect.

Does not always display all parts of current RCS messages.

does a great report no issues

free limited to 6 messages at a time. useless. $18 or $20 for a working version.

worthless for more than 6 messages

helpful and easy to use!!

simple easy to use good interface lots of options. lifetime purchase great deal

$10.95 is very high price, but works well

Very helpful. This app makes it very easy to back up any message files that you may have in case you lose your phone or break it, so that you can keep your records for whatever you need them for. The only issue I had on a very large file was that I needed to get the pro version, but this was thousands of messages, so it's useful to pretty much anybody.

I got this app intending to use it to export the messages in my text spam folder. It does not seem to be able to even see them, let alone convert them to a text file.

when the app works properly it's great. select what you need, add special setting for time stamps etc, then upload into a court ready file. however I ha e had many occasions it wont load a full con ersation or load the new stuff. I asked the chat and would go through the recommended fixes which usually didnt work. I was told I would be able to chat with a live person but no one would ever show. compare what's loading to what's actually on messages so not to be shown to be withholding info.

great so far!

Works effectively for court purposes.

only 6 at a time or charge a few

only 6 messages on export!!

I've been using this app for three years, but now with some new RCS update in my main message app and device (and I've been using RCS for many years) the latest RCS texts do not load. The message count goes up, but only SMS/MMS appear when applicable. It has been around a week without any RCS showing up and I have reset this app in every possible way.

its only a free trial and the free trial doesn't even work. i cantbdownload anything from my texts. what a scam.

very handy and quite easy to use !

been trying to screen shot and print these texts out for months just did it in 10mins

I needed this for legal purposes & they came through with a simple to use design.

great support. great app. no complaints.

For my purposes which are to just download my text messages to my computer just save them as a diary, this is just what I needed. so I really can't comment on other features but when I use the text download and open it in word it's very nice. I don't use it for images so I can't comment on that because I save my images separately. I had another app that was very simple but doesn't seem to work anymore so I was looking for something that was simple and this works.

New version buggy. doesnt show all chats even when using the search function. doesnt appear to do anything. was good before this.

Exactly what I need and does exactly what it says. Very easy to use too.

easy to use!

Sangat berguna untuk dokumentasi SMS.

I just started using this . I have an android Samsung galaxy. I opened the app, my messages with conta t names were displayed except the one I wanted. I did some exploring and for some reason that particular contact name was deemed "hidden" I was provided an option to unhide the messages after selecting 4000+ text msgs manually I selected the option for zip files , pdf was amazing, img files also great, excel was accurate with transposing msg content

you do need to pay to record long text conversations. worth it, easy to use.

quick and easy did what I needed it to do I had over 40,000 text messages and it saved them all in less than 5 minutes

Great app and fairly intuitive the print to PDF comes out beautiful and very presentable! A+++

App Was Amazing I Love it

not overly intuitive, but it works.

paid and didnt extract correctly. no customer service

I i don't know how to cancel app and get a refund. it is not serving my purpose. I got a lifetime subscription and I won't be able to use it. I purchased it within the last one or two hours. And I don't know how to do this. Google won't let me cancel either.

love this

been very happy with this app being able to backup text messages that I need to document & retain

Full-featured, easy to use, and continually updated. Pricey, but worth it depending on your need for an external copy of your messages.

**UPDATE 6.9.2023** Although I finally figured out how to do backups that are restorable, as of two days ago, I can't use this app anymore. I keep getting a message that there "are bugs in the program" and i need to wait for the developer to "fix" them. **UPDATE 6.7.2026** This app is finally working properly. Although I’m sill trying to figure out why I keep getting messages saying that media files weren’t included, when they actually are.

I'm updating this review after using it since 2018. Any gripes I had with it are long gone. This was able to provide documented evidence used in a legal investigation and case. Showing my phone or screenshots weren't practical or easily archive to my computer and email. Losing the texts would be disastrous if not archived and backed up. I don't use it often, but when I do, there's a damn good reason, and it hasn't failed me. Bottom line: worth paying for.

I upgraded to the paid version, It worked 1 time & hasn't worked since it just gives me empty files. 6/10/23 Edit: it's a year & this app still isn't working correctly. Every time I try to open the app it just flashes & says there is something wrong with the app & try opening it again once the developer provides a fix. But so far that hasn't happened. I've tried contacting them, I've got no reply. So I guess I'll just uninstall this worthless app and find 1 that works. EDIT: 1/6/24 Don't use it

Good app until resently end of may 2023. Your app keeps erroring and closing out. It works for a minute and then I get an error and it closes. I can keep reinstalling it, but it only works a couple times and then I get issues again. Now it's not letting me access some of my most important contact I need to keep track of text messages for legal purposes. The app still keeps crashing and it seems to be if you get over a certain amount of text message with a person it doesn't recognize the contact.

This app continues to crash. It worked fine up until a few days ago. I have contacted their support team twice with NO response. I have the paid version. I'm running on a Pixel 6 Pro. Fully updated. Feeling very, very, frustrated. UPDATE!! Here is what I did to resolve this: Uninstall Reset phone Install WITHIN the app, go to notifications and set to ALLOW App working as described ... EXCEPTION is that it does not recognize that I have the paid version.

Excellent tool. I use it primarily to preserve text messages. It would be very helpful if once I create the documents or I could delete the actual text messages from the app itself April 2023 I use this app happily for quite a few years. Something happened within the last month or so, so that I am unable to boot the app. I have tried contacting the developer but they won't respond. Very disappointed! I found another app that may be even better when it comes to selecting and printing texts.

This app was great on my older phone. I had paid for the pro version and given a 5 star review. But just got an upgrade (Galaxy S23 Ultra) and the app won't even open. Crashes immediately. Looks like a lot of other folks having the same problem, for at least a year now and no fix! I've reached out to their support, but no communication back. Guess I'll have to move on. So sad.

Highly Recommended! previously, I had some minor issues with the app. somewhere along the line, they fixed all my concerns. This is a great app to take your SMS text messages and print, export, convert, save, store, share etc... I don't know about the free version, I appreciate this app so much that I bought it and I own it now!

I have found this app to be good, but have issues, unfortunately. If I select "all" it struggles to make the back up, but does fine if I select a range. Being able to search the completed docs for text is great. My biggest issue that I only noticed the other day though, is that it doesn't pull all the texts in. Update: They have added instructions/info about the missing texts and I have also had less issues with this lately. So long as you check your backup before deleting, I can recommend.

There are a lot of custom format options. The "free trial" only permits six messages to be exported at a time, but that still allowed me to play around with the app and verify that it would meet my needs before I purchased the ability to export a more extensive conversation. This app also successfully displayed the entirety of longer text messages, whereas my default Android text app has the annoying "view all" feature.

Definitely the BEST!!!!! I've lost all my texts with quite a few phones over the years, but not any more! I've been using this for over 2 years, on several phones and it works great! I've tried a few others and this is the best one out there. I am really amazed at how many ways that it has to both save and/or back up conversations with over 30,000 messages on a single conversation. Well worth the cost.

The best I can tell the back ups are not missing any messages, just pics. I'm using a Note 9. I am so happy to have found an app to print messages, but the pictures in the texts are not downloading to the printed copy (not sure about the message back up). There are blank spots though, so you can at least tell that a picture belongs there. App is extremely easy to use.

This app, once purchased, works great for *most* messages. Unfortunately, the most important conversation I needed to export doesnt even show up in the list. The contact I need appears in group messages, but the direct 1 on 1 conversation simply isnt there. Would be a 5 star app if it didnt fail to pull all conversations, even after paying for it.

took some fiddling but I am very pleased to have 5 years worth of frequent texts converted to pdf. It was a pretty slow process, but only because of the huge volume. I really appreciate the ability to divide the export into multiple files to make the files produced more manageable. I do wish it was possible to specify a date range before having to upload the entirety of the set of texts with a particular recipient. maybe that isn't possible for some reason though.

It's a solid program for exporting SMS streams to a variety of formats, and so far it has been stable and works well. There are a couple of minor things the developer could improve (the font used for HTML exports is not the same as the font I selected...which is actually more annoying than I expected it would be) or add (such as enabling automatic backups at scheduled intervals), but overall I'm happy with the app.

Excellent app. Easy to use interface. Generates a variety of very easy-to-read output formats. Easy to share the output in a variety of ways. I gave it only a 3-star review because of one serious bug: it can't see all your conversations. I really wanted to print out one particular conversation, but it's completely invisible to the app. This is a simple 2-person conversation conducted entirely over the standard messaging app on a Pixel4a and Google's "messages for web".

So far I have only been able to download 1 time. Every other time I try the purple circle just spins. Very frustrating. Questioning whether I should keep this app. So I go back in after posting this review and I get to my messages (think I just made a liar out of myself) I click on the messages I want to save and there pops up that damn spinning circle again! Definitely rethinking this decision.

This did exactly what I wanted, which was to back up some long business and personal text archives in a printable format. Very reasonably priced for such a backup. Save time and choose this! I played with other software for hours and wish I had tried this first. The free version is limited to about six messages but it will show you how it works... I didn't have to think twice about paying.

I'm actually really impressed eith this app! I have been desperately searching for a way to turn my text messages into a pdf because I need tobuse them in court. This app was quick and easy (and Ibhad 4 years worth of texts that needed to be transferred to PDF, so I'm really impressed!!!) I did have to pay a fee, but it was only about 8 bucks and it was totally worth it. It charges you one time for unlimited lifetime use of the app- not a monthly fee! I was able to upload to my Google Drive!

This app works if purchased as expected!! Very helpful options to choose how files/texts are backed up. Able to move to an SD card! One idea, show the size of the group of texts before submitting to backup. Wish I could upload directly to Google Drive or other program/app so I can upload to other device easily from there. I can't move my messages without saving to SD card or phone they are already on which is the reason for the purchase. Thank you!

After 10+ transfer failures when trying to use the Apple "Move to iOS" app, I was desperate to find a way to keep years worth of Android messages in a readable format before switching to iPhone. This tool came to the rescue. Bought the paid version, made zip archives of everything in both html and pdf, and copied them over to Google drive. Problem solved.

Getting ready to upgrade my phone to a newer model, but needed an app that could export text messages to my PC for easy, searchable access. (These text messages were vital court evidence). In this app you can customize colors for optimal clarity, export as a PDF, HTML, and other files. The $10 spent on it is better than being character assassinated and defamed in court. 6/5 stars!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Really glad I discovered this app to download and save my text message conversations in a readable manner that shows either all or part of a given thread. There are multiple ways to export the conversations and print out just what you need. I would highly recommend this app. It was worth the cost. The backup through the phone without this app put all of the messages together in an unreadable mess.

I wish the app had a few more features like where the date shows up at beginning or end of each message, but that was ok. I did like that it ordered messages oldest first in a conversations. My reason for not liking this app is I bought it for one long message thread I have. After purchasing, I realized not all messages show up to be able to download. The one I need does not. I have several missing, and they vary by message type. Text Message, Multimedia, and chat. App is ok when it allows you to select message you want but being I can not select all messages, that I do not like.

I wanted to try it out but it's unusable. I went into settings to cap the maximum number of messages to export to 5 because the trial max is 6. I go through the process of exporting and keep getting told I'm limited to a max of 6 exported at once. Well, that's why I set the limited to 5. For whatever reason, the app overrides my limit and sets it to 20. >.<

I tried several free backup apps, most common wouldn't work at all, others downloaded difficult to read jibberish. This app is pretty good though, I like the option to save to pdf as well as the option to select conversations. pdf download took hours, but I had alot of messages. The PDF download itself was totally worth the price and the wait though, it comes out as pages of the messages formatted in the bubbles like the messaging app on the phone. I'm just glad I found something that will work.

There are 2 major issues: 1. The recipient's phone number is not exported in the CSV. Since I have a dual sim phone and sometimes I also switch sim cards the target of the message is also important, not only the source. 2 The trial version have limitations, you cannot use it to backup your texts if you have more than 6 messages. It is fine if I know it beforehand, but I hate to run in such limitations after I already installed the app.

This is hands down the best and most versate text backup and managing program. It works flawless, quick and saves everything exactly as it was originally sent. Easily exported to print, pdf to anywhere, or on device. Has not given any issues and has been very handy for legal reasons. Cannot recommend highly enough if you need to save text messages, print them, or share them.

Sort of works - I paid for it and it backed up most of my conversations with no problem. I was really disappointed that it couldn't seem to handle one particularly long SMS conversation I have in any export format. So for shorter conversations I can recommend it but if you have a long record people you talk too frequently by SMS be aware it may not work for you.

I did end up purchasing the advanced option because I need it for legal reasons but I'll tell you right now 100% easy select the dates it downloaded all my messages from years ago from one specific person in less than one minute. was able to send them over in a email no problems whatsoever definitely recommend but you do have to pay the $8 or whatever it is 100% worth it in my opinion

I'm not overly impressed. If I want separate copies of My text messages I have to do them individually. If I click on 10 text messages it groups them all together in one file. It does not give me the option to separate them. I have been trying for over 30 minutes to email those files to myself to no avail. I get the email that says I'm trying to send it but the attached file never gets attached therefore I wasted $9 for something that doesn't really work for me. I'm disappointed.

Terrible app that is very user UNfriendly. I'm rather technologically adept, but neither I nor a computer programmer friend of mine could figure out how to use this damn app! There are absolutely zero instructions or tips or anything like that. There is no settings menu to set a backup schedule. I decided to pay 9 bucks to get the full features, but where are they? What a waste of money!

This app has been tremendously useful for my family. I've needed texts and social media messages printed off for court. This app has helped in showing exactly what the messages appear like in your phone. It just prints it out the same way. No more trying to screen shot interactions and wasting colored ink when printing out those screen shots. With this app you have the option of pdf,zip,csv etc. Thank you for the useful and easy to use app. I've never had one issue since my purchase .

I paid for this and it works as advertised. However, HTML and media export can be very slow for long conversations, especially if not splitting to multiple files. It appears the app is trying to store only one copy of each image, GIF, or other media file. There's obviously technical merit to doing this, but the deduplication process could be faster. Nonetheless, five stars.

Update: 1 month/no solution This app is broken and will not back up any conversion regardless of the size, output type or save location. I had originally downloaded the free version but bought the premium once I saw the message about the size limit (6 messages at a time) as my singular goal to transcript a very large conversation. Once I found the app not working I contacted the developer both through email and the embedded messaging system for help. Not happy with my experience so far.

I had to install in 2 phones. When I was exporting and was trying to pay on the second phone, it gave me an error saying that I already own the item and wont export. Help Please!!!..... Rcvd a reply back from their support team and was very nice to give me direction. Issue resolved! I was able to extract the messages I needed successfully and did not even have to pay again. This is a great app, their customer service is awesome!

I can not figure out how to get RCS messages to restore to a new phone. I keep trying different settings, but nothing is working. Also, it is challenging getting the file from one phone to another. I can not access the backup file from another file explorer other than the one built into this program. Then, none of the various methods for transferring the file work from within this program. Finally, I managed to get it to upload a zip file to Google drive, but it still has issues restoring.

Pretty cool text backup and restore app, but lost a star because it's buggy with mms (picture messages). They don't seem to restore properly; out of order, wrong picture. Third-party text apps also seem to have a problem with restore, meaning they get a lot of messages out of order making the whole process pointless. Simple backup in html or PDF format - where you can simply reread the conversations later, no restore function - seems to work great, but again pictures don't always work.

Stops part way through backing up. I bought the paid version. I've tried each of the options (PDF, txt,.csv, html, backup). The file output & name is confusing and you can't tell if it's completely backed up or stopped until you tried to search for texts you know should be there & they aren't. Poor interface. Also the pdf file output is useless because you can't search the pdfs. So what's the point? May as well just try to take screenshots. Spent hours on this and still won't work.

Simple, straightforward, powerful app to save and send text messages! Allows multiple types of file formats, with a brief description of each. When a .pdf was too large, I saved it as a .txt to report fraud! I hate ads and their resultant cookies they stash on my phone, so this app was purchased as soon as the .pdf file failed to load to the fraud reporting site. Samsung's on board back up and restore fails. so this app is a great replacement!

I like free apps as much as anyone but occasionally I come across one that I know immediately is worth paying for. This app is definitely worth paying for. All other apps of this kind I've looked at wouldn't go anywhere near trying to include media files in the backup. This one does as well as offering an incredible array of formats to output to. Plus it's easy to use. I totally recommend this software and kudos to the developer for an amazing job!

I tried a few other apps that claimed to do the same thing. They did not do a good job at all! All my texts were jumbled into one big "note pad" file. So I figured I would try this app, and I am so glad I did! First I did the sample which worked out great. So I went ahead and bought it to do 3+ years of texts. Took a little finagling to get them openable on the computer but through the awesome frequently asked section in app I was able to make it work. Definitely worth the money! Thank You!😍

yet handles group conversations, which most SMS backup programs do not. also it backs up embedded media. I would give it five stars, except for the difficulty of transferring a backup to my PC. it only puts the back up on the phone. meaning if there's a problem with the phone, the backup is lost. transfer over USB cable of trips up on file and location name too long. there is no clear description of the error, but I have discovered that long name is the problem.

I read reviews to know I needed to pay the under $9 to be able to print texts for court. I purchased, then tried to print just a selection a few different times and I keep getting errors. I am on a Samsung Galaxy S-5 that I've been using for about 5 years now. I refuse to upgrade until I get these texts & a few other things off. The help doesn't load neither. And I never saw a print option, it just tries to send the file somewhere but can't. I wish it could at least send them to my email.

Leaving my very first app review. I was this close to giving up on ever being able to backup my weird mix of sms, mms and rcs text conversations that spans from 2016 to present. I have a lot of sentimental messages and conversations with my SO that I didn't just want to lose to the ether, and this app's options to export them as multiple formats (pdf, html, txt, csv) seriously saved me. Thank you so much. I happily paid the price of the app because the memories themselves are priceless.

Garbage. What is even the point of only allowing 6 messages to be backed up? Don't even have a "free" version if it has essentially zero functionality. Be upfront with pricing, and perhaps consider actual competitive pricing ($4.99, like every other app out there). The "free" version is worthless, and the paid version isn't worth what they're charging.

**Excellent** app!! Handles my messages with ease, and if you look around in settings you will find many additional features that make it even better. This even archived one of my conversations spanning several years, with over 22,000 texts with many graphics. Options included selection over specific time ranges, control over the appearance of how it saves, and many more. My one wish-list item: ability to then delete a selected range of texts, as you can do in OSX (killing off everything older than a couple months, for example). Looking online I cannot find any other app or messenger feature that can do this, and I trust how well SMS Backup handles my message registry.

Awesome app, easy to use and does what it says. It's less than £6 to buy, do buy it or there are limits in the app apparently. Worth every penny. The app didn't detect a second conversation on a different phone number under the same contact name, I don't know if this is because there's a problem, or I missed a setting, or that it was because that conversation was imported to the phone. I messaged the developer earlier so I'll edit this if I can, later.

I need to Print out a couple of text threads for a custody hearing I've got coming up. I tried 3 other programs to export sms from android to pdf and with all of the other programs I tried it would only export messages I received, but not the ones I had sent. Not very useful. Plus they all cost at least $30. This program was like $9, worked perfectly, and was super easy to use. Couldn't be happier with it.

Great app for getting text conversations converted into one document. To get the best use of it you do have to pay a 1 time fee, but it's not bad. I spend more on things I don't need all the time. If you need to collect texts for documenting, referencing, or things like then this one is great! I've tried several but they were a pain. This one lets you pick the file type that you want your texts to download to and gives you several options. It's been helpful for me!

Very easy to use app for backing up text messages (& more) converting to several types of files to print, or just back up. Opens up like a text menu on a phone. No computer needed! Can be all done from my phone! Couldn't be easier to use! Just choose the contact you want, messages you need, then click save! This program allows you to choose what file type you want to save, thrn allows you to send or save it! Worth paying for it. A clean app once paid for! A keeper!

Well since message+ doesn't print conversations and they no longer have a desktop app for windows that can print an export one must rely on software like this to pick up the slack for Verizon. The price is higher than I'd like but this works well and saved me a reasonable amount of time.

I downloaded this app, along with several others, because I needed a way to document my texts without taking a million screenshots. It was very, very important that I find a way to do this. This app has done just that. The free version only let's you do a few texts, but i took the leap and spent less than $10 on the proversion. It has made me life so much easier and stress free now that i can easily backup my texts and actually print them when it comes time for me to need them. Highly recommend!

Worked perfectly, worth the price! extremely easy to pick which texts you want to print off, not just the entire conversation, shows the entire message no matter how long it is, organizes them showing the date and time and a nice header showing page numbers, worked great for our court case. Thanks

I tried several. Though this cost more due to the amount of text I needed, it was well worth the one time fee. It allows specified date frame, prints extremely long text (MMS) without issue, allows customization of format. Absolutely perfect for my needs. I have uninstalled all the other apps I tried. I can't imagine using any other, this one has nothing missing from my perspective. Thank you for providing what I needed!

WOW!!! Worked so well with no tech skills involved! Needed to print out text messages. Lets you choose how they look, what format you would like them saved as and where to send them. After minimal fee, I chose how I wanted it to look and saved as pdf to my google drive. Then printed from there. Best part was it also allowed me to print from my old phone I switched from so I could get complete conversation needed. Whole process took minutes to print 40+ pages. Thanks so much for this app!!!

I needed to print 4 text messages, one is a long mms. Free version did not show the long mms. I assumed this was a "pro" feature so I paid for the pro version. Same thing! At the name screen it shows (4) as the message count but when you click on the name the long mms message is not shown. Tried creating the pdf anyway and same thing only 3 messages. The contact has two cell phone numbers and the mms message is the only message sent or received on the 2nd cell phone number. I would like this fixed.

This was the only app I found that actually backed up ALL of my messages. Every other app randomly skipped over conversations with no rhyme or reason. The only downside to this app is that it doesn't back up in a format that allows for restoring to the messaging app on the phone. At least the messages at saved. That's worth the price for me.

I paid for service and it stopped working apparently when they updated the app. Nice when it worked the first time. Now it has been inconvenient and wasted a lot of time trying to troubleshoot a way to get it to work for me again. I needed to have copies of texts for a court case and ended up having to screenshot all of the conversations 😭. Kinda like they took my money saying it was unlimited but now that's not the case. Need to find a better more reliable app. *Update* Still didn't work

Tried several other apps but this one is the best. It's easy to back up texts into several different formats. I wanted to save pics as jpg images and that's possible by saving the text as zip file. I'm using this to keep records of my business text messages since I have previously lost some when upgrading to a new phone. Well worth the $8.49 price!

Paid for premium, $8 whatever, and the app misses portions of the conversation when saving. Particularly on my end and not the other person's. If I want to save a conversation I want all of it. Cant justify paying that much for an app that skips pieces in the conversation. Absolutely awful. Not to mention to back up you need to pay the $8. You cant free backup even one convo. If it worked itd be great, but that's just shady for an app that doesnt function. Now I'm out $8 for nothing.

When working with a great number of texts, the pdf files were too large to send to my email. I had to go back into the backup and select the texts one by one into smaller files to accomplish what I needed. This is the first app that worked in getting all of my late daughter's texts saved to another device or app that I can keep forever.

This is a great app, if you routinely engage in "note- to-self" activity via text messaging with your smartphone using, e.g., Google voice-to-text, and especially useful for facilitating your "journaling on the fly". For example, never lose any of the original insights that strike you, unbidden, throughout the day, especially during a long commute! Note: PLEASE REMEMBER to *ALWAYS use your smartphone in HANDS-FREE MODE while driving!* 😃

I had another app for quite awhile now that seems to have been deleted by Google so I went looking and found this one (paid version) that seems to be pretty good. Only thing that I find frustrating is that I can't save ALL my texts in one chunk PDF (or chosen format) but must do each person individually. IMPROVEMENT FOR NEXT UPDATE PLEASE??? 😁

At first go I rated this one star. It would not work, all i got was a spinning circle. At some point it started to work and I've been able to back up threads containing over 10,000 texts. And it backs up MMS messages as well. Oh, and after making sure it will work on you phone, you want to buy the upgraded version. The free one is useless. it backs up like 8 messages at a time and i believe it has adds on top of that. Their other app for backing up WhatsApp conversations works even better.

At first, this app looked perfect for what I wanted. It offers many formats to save your text conversations in like pdf, jpeg, etc. It even lets you customize some of the elements within the formatting, although the appearance could use a little updating. But when I tried to save a conversation, it wouldn't allow me to save more than 6 messages at a time unless I bought a subscription. I was disappointed at the misleading nature of this app and the fact that I need to pay to use its services.

Great. I had a list of sms messages on my mobile that I needed to provide for a court case. Printing out a load of screen shots did not look professional. This app loads up a list of my messages according to sender, Choose the relevant ones, choose the format you wish to save it in (each one comes with advice on what it is best for) and share to printer (or e mail etc). Cost about £5 but worth it and cheaper than others I looked at.

Only app that seems to support export of rcs advanced messaging which is a huge plus, however for the very premium price you have to pay (almost ten dollars!) there are a fair amount of bugs. For starters, while rcs messages can be exported, there are some issues with missing texts during export, including non rcs messages. Additionally, there are very few options for the Excell export, and seemingly no way to access the json export that is created, based on a search of my S7's for the file name

I was looking for a while for an app that would not take forever to backup messages and be able to select messages from over time but same topic to better organize and this app was the best one I found and has saved me tons of time and taken some stress off through this time. Highly recommend if you are in a situation that you need to save, print out, or backup your messages

This app has no option to back up all your texts at once. You must select each individual conversation and click a "share" button to get options of how to export the message. Even if they didn't charge extra to convert to HTML (they do), I wouldn't want to sit around for hours selecting each conversation and exporting it individually.

My last app was working very well for my court cases until it suddenly became inoperable. I spent most of the afternoon frustratingly trying out other apps. Then once I found this one and figured out how to use it, I couldn't be happier. It's exactly what I need and way more customizable than the last app I had.

I was trying to print texts for court the "cheap" way by taking screen shots, sending them to email, & printing. It was very time consuming. I came across this app, purchased and was able to print out over a year's worth of text messages in less than 5 minutes. Worked great! Well worth $5 and some change!!
