## What is MOBILedit?

Your contacts and messages are probably one of the most important things in your phone. MOBILedit is the ultimate contacts, messages and media management tool used by millions of users.

Backup your contacts and messages, migrate between phones of any manufacturer and system, or copy contacts between groups such as Exchange, iCloud, internal phone memory and other online services. The Message Archive allows you to import messages from different phones into one place, so you can read, search, filter or reply to them.

Important: iPhone does not allow applications to access messages, so you cannot see them directly in this app. However, by connecting your phone through USB cable to a PC and running MOBILedit for Windows you can access messages and much more - you will get the ultimate PC suite software for complete phone management.

* Copy Windows clipboard to your phone, or from phone to Windows
* Message Archive allows you to import messages from different phones into one place, so you can read, search, filter or reply to them. 
* Edit, transfer, illustrate or print your contacts from the comfort of your computer

* Migrate wirelessly – download the app for all other phone systems
* Exports and imports to or from Outlook, XLS, CSV and more
* Smart phonebook optimizations, such as fixing duplicates, faulty contacts, unknown numbers, merging and internationalization

Additional functions with a cable connection:

### 1/5 — SCAM!!

*2021-02-12, version 3.0*

Complete scam. Doesn’t work, won’t let me copy messages from my old phone at all, even with the pro version which it also won’t update to on my old phone.

### 2/5 — Not what I expected

*2020-05-09*

I downloaded this and paid for the windows application thinking with the windows application I can import android messages to my iPhone messages app. That is not the case. I thought I had read thoroughly thinking that the windows app allows that process but not the mobile app. I will be requesting a refund from PayPal for the Windows license. I’m sure this app could be useful in some limited circumstances for some people.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2019-11-12*

Bad!!

### 3/5 — Good but not great

*2018-11-14*

Bought the pro version and it doesn't expressively tell you about ios sms/message limitations and how it can't import your old messages into ios.
Instead, it has a separate "archive" for you to read your imported messages.
Other than that, it's a good cross-platform importing app that's nothing special compared to free alternatives.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2017-12-13*

I have the pro version, but somehow that doesn’t register on iTunes.... There are so many things it doesn’t do as promised. Eg. You cannot message from your PC without pressing send in the phone, and you don’t see a thread. Send one message and it’s gone. Then start again. Doesn’t auto fill contact name, you have to scroll and find it. Replies don’t come to the software. 
I wanted to print a message thread. You have to do a back up of your phone to see messages, but it doesn’t load all the history in a thread. For mine it only goes back a week or two. I need a month or more. Plus the dates are wrong. My messages are dated 1992. (But they were sent this month in 2017!). 
It just fails. Says it can organize/optimize your contacts, but you need a different app to do that. 
Some features function when you connect through wifi. Some only work with a USB cable connection. Sigh. 
If you want to print your messages you’ll do better taking multiple screenshots.

### 1/5 — Was not able to use it

*2017-04-18*

No tutorial, have to purchase to even try it. Meh

**Developer response:** App is very easy to use, there is a free version in the App store as well and we have extensive documentation including videos available at our website for MOBILedit PC functionality, see www.mobiledit.com.

### 5/5 — Perfect for backing up and switching phones

*2017-02-02*

MOBILEdit is very easy to use and seamlessly allowed me to clean up and migrate my contacts to my new iPhone.  The Windows desktop version is very powerful as well.

**Developer response:** Thank you Larry

### 5/5 — Good app

*2016-09-17, version 2.5*

Good app

### 3/5 — Good but needs improving

*2013-02-27, version 1.0*

It's great and helped me retrieve my contacts from my Sony Ericsson X10i, but it didn't let me get my messages, which is a shame.
