### 1/5 — Always had issues

*2024-03-04, version 1.1*

Save your time (& money) & get an app that is more efficient. This one has been a pain every time. Expect to spend hours in hopes of it maybe working.

### 1/5 — N’a pas fonctionné avec mon PC

*2023-08-13, version 1.1*

L’adresse pour PC donnée ne semble pas fonctionner…

### 1/5 — I wouldn’t count on this app

*2023-02-03, version 1.1*

The thought process is good.  However I didn’t get the first two months of text messages.  The rest I had dates mixed up which was awful.  I tried getting hold of the tech support for three days and no one ever got back to me.  At this stage I knew the app needed a lot fixing and I as not reliable and pretty obvious not tech department.  

Waste of money, I will be disputing my ten bucks.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-06-22, version 1.1*

The app is a trap to get a payment to then find out it does not work.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2022-02-15, version 1.1*

Paid ten dollars for a web address to sms export plus that now wants 29.99 in order to view my text!  No license key given with this purchase!! Basura

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2021-12-06, version 1.1*

This app requires you to download software on your PC for it to work.
The link to download this software is dead

### 5/5 — Skeptical til I tried it… Eureka for taking the chance!

*2021-07-29, version 1.1*

Up until now, I have hesitated investing in a text extractor app.  Poor reviews, scary warnings of subsequent addon’s,  free apps that were ineffective.   

This app is the real deal.  There were a few adjustments that had to be made, figuring out my pc name, where to get complimentary pc app, saving back up to harddrive opposed to icloud.   

But it works as described!   Eureka, thank you for your amazing app.  It worked as described.

Thank you, got what I needed,  I surprises, just working through the steps to connect the dots.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2021-07-29, version 1.1*

After going through all the prompts the supposed download link for pc is not even there. Don’t spend the money for this app.

### 1/5 — Need my $ back does not work!

*2021-07-13, version 1.1*

Need my $ back does not work!

### 5/5 — It will work!

*2021-06-24, version 1.1*

Okay so after  filling out a ticket with there customers service and kind of fallowing their instructions finding a small issue with my Java. 
The app works as advertised!!!
It took some time but it works, don’t yeah just hate it when it’s your computer and not the app.
