### 2/5 — Access to all your pictures!

*2026-06-30, version 3.3*

You grant this application access to all your pictures.  That’s too much personal information.  How do we know they are not violating privacy.  Sorry, but that’s not necessary.

### 2/5 — Can’t use Manual Mode on New iPhones

*2026-06-16, version 3.3*

I have used this app for several years now and have the Pro version but it has been awful ever since I upgraded to the newest iPhone. The single PDF export works, but the “break up”/page-splitting PDF feature fails when using Manual (Classic) stitching mode on the newer iPhone screenshots. The app closes instead of completing the export.
After troubleshooting, I found that switching to Automatic (New) stitching mode allows the break-up export to work, but the editing features in Automatic mode are not as useful or precise as Manual Classic. You can not edit the first screenshot in Automatic where as the Manual mode you can! This makes it to where you have to edit your first screenshot before using this app.  Please update Manual Classic or add the same editing control to Automatic mode.

### 2/5 — What’s the point?

*2026-01-22, version 3.1.3*

I’m not sure why these apps exist that require you to screenshot your texts, so the app can stitch them together. I can do that manually in almost the same amount of time! The point of wanting such an app is FOR THE APP TO DO *ALL* THE WORK. Two thumbs DOWN!

### 1/5 — Tried to export

*2025-11-25, version 3.1.3*

I tried to export messages multiple times and the app closed during the stitching process

### 1/5 — Could work

*2025-11-12, version 3.1.3*

But Keep crashing !!  I want my money back!!

### 1/5 — misleading and terrible

*2025-11-11, version 3.1.3*

I just completed wasted $9.99 thinking the video capture method would produce a PDF. very misleading.

### 1/5 — Lies!

*2025-10-15, version 3.1.3*

This app is a scam

### 3/5 — Use to work

*2025-10-14, version 3.1.3*

This app used to be great. Was super easy to clip it all together but whatever update they did ruined the app. All it does now is crash on me every time I try to cut down an image to stitch something together.

### 1/5 — Can't give zero stars, so...

*2025-09-18, version 3.1.2*

Bought the pro version and learned that no PDF is actually generated. COMPLETE AND TOTAL SCAM.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-09-06, version 3.1.1*

I got this as an all in one solution to create screen capture of text, then create a PDF. I don’t know what this thing doesn’t work. You can now slowly stitch together, which you could do with any app, but it doesn’t auto capture.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2025-08-22, version 3.1.1*

It’s hard to imagine that this app received any positive reviews. I’m following the video instructions exactly and it’s absolutely inoperable. It keeps failing stitching and makes me edit manually. Just when I’m getting a descent amount of texts manually stitched together it looses everything… I upgraded to Pro and saw no change. No thank you!

### 2/5 — Does not work cleanly

*2025-08-19, version 3.1.1*

I have tried multiple times taking screenshots and having them stitched by the app, it does not work. Very clear screenshots in order and the app will not sort them correctly. It’s garbage, stay away.

### 3/5 — $10 seriously?

*2025-08-06, version 3.1*

Everything is fine until you need to export the stitched message in a legible format. Then you have to pay. Nope!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-08-05, version 3.1*

I purchased the pro version and it doesn’t export the texts and it is blurry

### 1/5 — Paid for the pro version.  Crashes every time.

*2025-07-27, version 3.1*

Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Stops working

*2025-07-21, version 3.1*

I paid for the pro version and it worked for 3 weeks then all of a sudden everything i convert to pdf is blurry. I spend all the time screenshotting and can stitch it together but once it converts to pdf it’s blurry. Makes no sense.

### 1/5 — Update made this app awful

*2025-07-18, version 3.1*

I used to use this app for converting photos of a jobsite into a pdf but now the manual stitching and cropping just doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Useless tool

*2026-08-04, version 3.3*

Useless

### 1/5 — Not as advertised

*2026-07-15, version 3.3*

I paid for the upgraded version for custom pdfs and it doesn’t work at all. There is not an option to contact support due to “email not configured”. I’d use the free version, but am out $10 for an app that doesn’t deliver at all once upgraded.

### 1/5 — Basically a scam

*2026-07-08, version 3.3*

Does no useful additional functions, and provides no way to contact support

### 1/5 — Crashes immediately

*2026-06-20, version 3.3*

App does not open, but crashes immediately upon clicking.

### 1/5 — Can’t even open

*2026-06-08, version 3.3*

Crashes every time i try to open it, immediately after downloading.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-05-03, version 3.3*

This charges you WEEKLY and makes it impossible to cancel

### 1/5 — Printouts are too grainy to read.

*2026-03-15, version 2.4.2*

I upgraded to the "pro version" because I need to print a sizable text thread.  Had I been able to perform a test print and see how terrible it would be I would not have bought this.

### 1/5 — Unusable And Buggy

*2026-01-14, version 3.1.3*

Why does this app not allow you to access screenshots from albums. I have arranged my screenshots in a specific order in various albums. But the app does not allow me to access any album. 

Also there’s a bug in the app. When adjusting the auto stitch, manually, if you go in multiple times to make adjustments the app throws you out of the app and all your work is lost. Fix this bug. It should also be possible to save and return to the stitching stage.

### 1/5 — Can’t read tutorial

*2025-12-17, version 3.1.3*

When you click on the link to watch the tutorial, you can’t see all of it

### 1/5 — Used to love this app

*2025-12-17, version 3.1.3*

I used this app regularly for a court case. Now since the AI update it glitches or crashes. It stitches the texts wrong. Before the update I had stitched probably 100 texts. Now I barely use it because AI either says it can’t do it or misses texts all together.

### 5/5 — EXCELLENT APP & SUPPORT

*2026-04-08, version 3.3*

Today I was given immediate support with a formatting issue  and needing numerous texts for a court hearing as evidence. When I reached out, honestly I didn’t think they would respond or may respond days away. I asked and within 10 minutes was helped! My document is ready and outstanding for the Judge to view and so is this app!! Not 5 Stars, 500 STARS!

### 5/5 — Really love this app, truly

*2025-07-28, version 2.4.2*

I have been using this app to export some of my text feed for court. It’s a game changer. Simple easy to use. I am a real person. I use this app and export the finished product to Photos. Then I open a video compressed to make it a smaller version to email or save to a thump drive.

### 5/5 — Greatest way ever to save texts

*2025-07-17, version 3.0*

### 5/5 — Outstanding App!!!! Download now!!!!!

*2024-06-26*

I have been sifting through the App Store and googling my days away trying to find an easy to use app that does not cost $100 or subscription fee to maintain but can convert text messages to PDF. I thought those hundred dollar applications would be best so I downloaded four of the "name brand" apps and subscribed my bank account away. Only to find those programs either too difficult or simply didn't meet my needs. 

Messages Export is the go to app to turn the communications on your phone and in your photos into PDF documents. 

The ease of use along with the perks of a one time $9.99 charge make this app a no brainer! 

Thank you to the creators of this app!
