On their page it says zero $$ cost. Specifically “Your card WILL NOT BE CHARGED (in caps & bold) for the activation of your account. So I thought the credit card info was for ID verification. But as soon as I hit that enter button, I was charged $39.95. Likely I was able to cancel the transaction through PayPal and they put the money right back.. but watch out! ### 1/5 — Pourquoi ne peut-on pas sauvegarder les SMS ? *2025-01-18* Je viens d’essayer à plusieurs reprises et je ne peux pas sauvegarder les SMS, ça m’a l’air d’être une grosse arnaque ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2025-01-11, version 1.0.1* Didn’t disclose I had to take screenshots of all of the texts first. ### 1/5 — Scam app *2025-01-04, version 1.0.1* It’s not backing up sms but files and very hard and unstable don’t buy ### 1/5 — Vari Bad app *2024-11-27* In the past SMS Backup+ EAS and excellent app. Trasnsferring to Gmail in a new folder the registry of calls and sms. NOW I could not believe what is this app. You room shot of sms and store for you. Do we need an app tondo this? This is completely unasable app. World like to have money back. Responsabilità is also of the market place that does not supervise it. ### 1/5 — Don't buy this *2024-10-25* Don't buy this. It doesn't work and you will have wasted your money. Support email doesn't work either. Bad all the way around ### 1/5 — Pointless *2024-10-15, version 1.0.1* Not what it says on google play it’s pointless ### 1/5 — Demande de payer 6€ / semaine *2024-10-13* A peine installé Pas moyen de la tester. A peine cliqué s un le format d’export jpg ou PDf il demande payer 6€ par semaine !! Pas cher !! Lol ### 1/5 — Total garbage *2024-10-08* Doesn’t even have a menu. Website shows screens that don’t exist. Don’t let them take your money. ### 1/5 — Arnaque *2024-09-21* Demande de payer !!!!! ### 1/5 — Screen shots required *2024-08-25* App description doesn’t tell you it only converts from screen shots. If I wanted to take 100-screen shots I could have done that without the app. ### 1/5 — This is NOT SMS Backup & Restore *2024-08-22, version 1.0.1* This seems to be some ripoff of a different program. This does not work at all. ### 1/5 — Not worth they money *2024-08-06, version 1.0.1* Not impress ### 1/5 — Nul *2024-08-01* Nul et nul Demande juste de payer ### 1/5 — Accidentally paid for this trying to get out of it *2024-07-18* Be very careful as there are several pop-ups and if you try to close out you will be charged. This is a scam! ### 1/5 — SMS app *2024-07-17* Horrible ! I am trying to get my money back . I had one years ago and it downloaded automatically into a excel spreadsheet . I should have tried it first ### 1/5 — My fault for not understanding the app *2024-06-11* This app will only save screenshots of your texts, so you need to go through and screenshot everything you want to save. Looks like I’m unable to get a refund through Apple ### 1/5 — Fraudulent on Apple Store *2024-06-01* Fraud on sms back up ans restore ### 1/5 — Nothing is working *2024-05-31, version 1.0.1* Nothing is working ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-12-19, version 1.0.1* No explanation on how to use. Buyer beware. ### 1/5 — Do not use or purchase *2025-11-25* App will not allow you to cancel subscription nor does the subscription show up in Apple. It’s designed to be a scam and needs to be removed from the market place immediately!! ### 1/5 — Does not do anything *2025-09-30* Terrible option for turning texts into PDF , still requires you to take screenshots ### 1/5 — Junk app. Nothing worked. *2025-08-29, version 1.0.1* Junk app. Nothing worked. Android version by this app programmer is far superior. The programmer has not updated this in over 2 years. ### 1/5 — What does this app do? *2025-07-24* I was hoping to save a very lengthy text message but all this app does is save a screenshot, which is useless. Can I have a refund please? ### 1/5 — DOES NOT BACKUP SMS IN PDF OR TEXT FILE *2025-05-28* This app does not back up SMS in PDF for Text file format. It wants you to take screenshots of the conversations and then stitch the pictures of the screenshots together and then it allows you to export those pictures into a PDF. With two years of convos on my phone I would be here until next year!! try to contact Support about getting a refund. however, my email was undelivered and sent back to me because the email is from 2022.. lol can’t find any recent “2025” contact info.. ### 1/5 — It does nothing *2025-05-15* I paid for it to do nothing. Wanted to restore messages but it does nothing with messages at all ### 1/5 — Completely pointless! *2025-05-02* This app does nothing, but save photos that are already saved. What a waste of time and money I have to now fight to get back… ### 1/5 — Misleading *2025-03-29, version 1.0.1* Waste of money ### 1/5 — Junk *2025-03-03, version 1.0.1* Dosent let you save sms only lets you screenshot them ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dv *2023-06-03, version 1.0.1* Impressed ### 5/5 — ❤️😄😄 *2023-05-26* Зор ### 5/5 — Love *2023-02-27, version 1.0.1* Love ### 2/5 — Works much better on Android *2025-06-07, version 1.0.1* It’s amazing how different things are and how much you are forced to pay for apps when on IOS….
