Doesn’t let you see what it does til you pay $20 even though it purports to have a $2 option (doesn’t work). Then all it does is export screenshots. Totally useless! ### 1/5 — Ew scam *2025-01-27* You have to take a screenshot of your messages apparently and that’s dumb. If you wanted to do that then you could just do that instead. It also won’t let you pay for weekly, so it’s $20 just to take a screenshot of texts that you can already do that without this app. The ad is a lie. This is a gross company and app. ### 1/5 — SCAM! *2025-01-26, version 1.2* I downloaded this and was forced to pay annual subscription before I could even find out how it works. It took me to a one pager that said take a screenshot and upload the photo. That’s it!!! Utterly useless. No other info, no homepage. This should be reported as I gave them money in good confidence. Give me my money back!! ### 1/5 — It is not what it says *2024-11-04, version 1.2* The app stitches together screen shots it does not print texts to pdf ### 1/5 — Two options 19.99 for one year or 1.99 for one week *2024-10-02, version 1.2* The second option $1.99 for one week does not allow me to select this is clearly bogus you muscle like 1999 for to go through ### 1/5 — Won’t allow me to purchase *2024-09-25* When I try to purchase the app, it will not let me purchase. It looks like it’s going to and then it just doesn’t frustrating. ### 1/5 — $20 for…This? *2024-07-11, version 1.2* C’mon. These are weak features for $20. Seeking refund. ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-07-10, version 1.2* This app doesn’t allow me to download text messages. Just photos. I want my money back ### 1/5 — Dont buy. *2024-06-27, version 1.2* It just forces you to buy a years subscription before you can do anything or test it. It’s a scam ### 1/5 — Stupidest app ever *2024-04-03* I don’t think it does anything. But now that I have canceled auto renew it won’t even let me try. Total rip off ### 1/5 — Garbage App *2024-03-03* I’m trying to save chat threads for legal reasons and all this app does is take screen shots of the conversation. The same thing I have to do already. Refund please…. ### 1/5 — Complete ripoff *2024-02-20* You have to take screenshots of the texts to save them which you can just do yourself with screenshots anyway. I needed something to actually export the text messages. Also forces you to choose the $20 annual option instead of the weekly option ### 1/5 — Can’t access user guide can only access pictures *2024-02-12* This app is not user friendly ### 1/5 — Junk *2024-02-08, version 1.2* Let me just say this. 1.)There is no free trial to even view how the app works. 2.)forced to pick yearly purchase. There are 2 options however. Weekly and yearly. You can click on yearly but it won’t let you purchase it. I would rather waste $2.00 than $20.00 ### 1/5 — Rubbish - don’t be fooled *2024-01-30, version 1.2* This app is completely useless- you are better just to screenshot. What is worse I accidentally bought a year’s subscription and tried to get it refunded and can’t. This app is worse than useless- it feels like a scam. Don’t do what I did and ignore it’s bad reviews and ratings. They are there because it is a terrible app. Save your money and just take a screenshot or buy yourself a decent app - but stay away from this one. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do what you think *2024-01-13, version 1.2* Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Junk *2024-01-07, version 1.2* Rip off does not work any different than you screen shot it ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-01-07, version 1.2* This is the worst App I have ever used ### 1/5 — Absolute con - no actual export of messages just tells you screen grab and go to your photo library *2024-01-05* This app is an absolute scam ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cancel of subscription *2026-02-27* I do not know how to cancel this subscription, I would like to have it cancelled, effective immediately! ### 1/5 — Awful app *2026-01-12* Don’t waste your time. This app feels scamish with the 1.99 week option doesn’t work then tries to get you to do the yearly subscription which works quickly. ### 1/5 — Never worked but I got charged! *2025-09-28* Purchased it but when setting it up, it never let me ‘accept terms of service’ so I never got passed that step. Now It won’t let me cancel to get my money back! ### 1/5 — Junk app. Nothing worked. *2025-08-29, version 1.2* Junk app. Nothing worked. ### 1/5 — Do not buy if you need export tool *2025-06-26, version 1.2* Missed a review, I wish I had known this isn’t really an export tool as much as an image/picture grabber. Wasted money because it wouldn’t let me select week purchase, so $19.99 wasted. Comes off as a scam app because of this. ### 1/5 — Terrible!! *2025-05-31, version 1.2* Refund me please!!! Text messages cannot be downloaded, only screenshot. Very basic utility and NOT what I am looking for! ### 1/5 — The app doesn’t work *2025-05-23* I get to the screen where it asks me to pay. I click continue. Nothing happens. It stays on the screen asking me to pay. The app is useless ### 1/5 — NEEDS SCREENSHOTS *2025-04-07, version 1.2* I can screenshot on my own without paying money for someone to convert them. Lost out because of that small detail. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2025-02-24, version 1.2* It didn’t do anything of what it said on the description ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-02-22* They better not charge me even though it was cheap. I was willing to pay for it couldn’t even get off the freaking plant selection screen. ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 2/5 — Doesnt give access to program *2024-05-25* I cannot access says I have it for one year until 2025!
