Plain and simple ### 5/5 — Super Helpful Guide *2025-10-24, version 1.16* Got this working in just a few mins, thanks to very thorough setup guide. Especially the video. ### 3/5 — Imperfect and expensive *2025-09-25* Expensive. Also, there is no one rule that will forward ALL messages because it must search the message for specific characters. ### 1/5 — Costs way to much *2025-09-14, version 1.15.3* Way to expensive for what it does ### 1/5 — SMS forwarding *2025-09-13, version 1.15.3* I was tagged for a full year of $75 by Apple Pay. I got a free week first but never could figure out it how to use it. I didn’t realize they would force me onto a year program after the worthless free week first I never got it to work I never received a license code and now Apple Pay refuses to refund my money. As I see it this is a piece of junk not useable by the average person. ### 1/5 — This is the scam don’t fall to it. *2025-09-04* This is the scam the app didn’t do what I wanted to do, and although I cancelled within 2 minutes of purchasing it charged me. What it asks you to do you can do it without paying through iMessage itself. ### 1/5 — Whatsapp did not work *2025-08-18, version 1.15.2* How I did not try it does not work ### 1/5 — THIS APP IS A SCAM *2025-08-17* They took my money for subscription even when I selected that I didn’t want any and they said that they took my money and will never give it back to me and they said they won’t return anyone else’s money either. ### 1/5 — Could not get it to work *2025-07-15, version 1.15.1* Watched the video, followed the steps, failure… so annoyed, so tired, gonna try another app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work as advertised *2026-07-09* This app is merely an Apple shortcut and it doesn’t function correctly. Their step by step tutorial does not produce their result. Side note. I opted for the $1 first month to make sure it worked and got charged for the whole year with no way to cancel after the first month. Total money grab. ### 1/5 — Specific message forwarding not working *2026-05-15* Specific message forwarding not working ### 1/5 — Benutzbar nur mit Abo *2026-05-08* Habe die App sofort gelöscht ### 1/5 — Не работает *2026-03-26* Настроила, сначала работает, затем смс перестают приходить ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, support non existent *2026-02-18* Set up 100% correctly and the app just decides to when it wants to work and when it doesn’t. Support answered one time and said to restart the phone and never answered again waste of my money and it will be a waste of yours too. ### 1/5 — Totally useless *2025-11-27, version 1.19* Wasted time and and the annual $59 fee for this app that continually encounters errors when forwarding messages from an iPhone to an Android phone. I constantly had to reset the app on the iPhone, so what’s the point? Do not purchase! ### 1/5 — Fell Off *2025-10-28, version 1.16* Heading in now to fix it after day 1 ### 1/5 — False advertising *2025-10-26* You need pay to use any feature, while app description said subscription is required for “all features” it’s should said subscription is required you to use app after trials. I don’t mind, if it’s was clearly advise within app listing. I don’t why this need subscription when everything is meant to be process local device, maybe one time payment? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work right *2025-10-15* It sometimes forwards texts to my other phone, sometimes, but when it does the text comes in through my other phone number, not the number the text is actually coming from. How are you supposed to know where the text is actually coming from if all the texts come from only one number? ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-10-05* It seems to be a scam app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 좋네여 *2026-07-21* 좋아요 ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-07-03* Im an oldschool guy not tech savvy so i had alot of questions alex helped answer all my silly questions to help even me understand how to set it up and use it definatly recommended app and support ### 5/5 — советую *2026-05-25, version 1.30* все супер ### 5/5 — Good *2026-05-18, version 1.30* Good ### 5/5 — 很好 *2026-05-18* 不用担心手机不在身边，不能登陆游戏了。 ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-06, version 1.29* Works ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-12-10* We are an accounting firm and Forward SMS is absolutely business critical for us to forward 2FA codes to our team's email accounts. If we didn't have this app we would not be able to get anything done. ### 5/5 — Best SMS Forwarder! *2025-12-09* I've been using this sms forwarder app for more than a year.
