Works great. No Subscription needed!

This is the only one I’ve found that works like I want! I.E. a spreadsheet instead of pictures. The dated instructions call for iTunes to backup your iPhone, but just use Finder. After it’s backed up locally, set the Mac version’s Configuration to find your backups at: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup It’s a no-brainer from there.

Inutilisable

Le logiciel demande à l’ouverture d’installer itunes et faire une sauvegarde mais iTunes n’existe plus et le logiciel est inutilisable (en plus d’être inutile si on utilisait iTunes directement qui peut sauvegarder le tel sur le Mac ou le pc)

not easy

I’m sure this likely works but it’s not easy to make happen. Didn’t export easily and I wasted money and time. Too outdated.

Reliable & easy

Super responsive and helpful developer, have used this for years to save business and personal threads, never a glitch.

Pointless

This app requires you to connect to your computer, back up your ENTIRE iPhone onto your desktop, and then you supposedly can access your texts from iTunes on your non Mac computer…if I had time to download my entire life onto my computer I wouldn’t be buying apps.
