I want my money back! ### 1/5 — arnaque *2020-12-26, version 10.12* dont buy this ### 1/5 — Cant print previous texts *2020-03-04* This App description is very misleading!! It does not allow you to print previous text message strings. ### 1/5 — Group text *2020-02-16* This is a scam ### 1/5 — Misleading *2020-01-31, version 10.12* What exactly did I pay for if I can’t export my texts. Do not download. Refund should be a option. ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2019-08-31* Doesn’t backup SMS !!! ### 1/5 — DONT BUY THIS IS A SCAM! *2019-07-17* It doesn’t work. It only backup what you are sending 😡😡😡😡 I’m so mad right now! ### 1/5 — Yeah doesn’t back up your text *2019-06-08* So it only backs up the text you send through the app not the text you already have. ### 1/5 — NO *2019-05-05* Why? Why does apple let people steal your money like this. I’ve been really sad because I accidentally deleted one of mine and my best friends text convo and was hoping this might be able to fix it. Now I’m even more sad because I lost $2 on this stupid app ### 1/5 — Refund ! *2019-02-11, version 10.12* You write sms style messages and export that. Doesn’t sync with actual messages. Pointless ### 1/5 — Refund *2018-09-02, version 10.12* Totally unable to backup existing messages. It won’t send messages to contacts so even if the app could export it would still be pointless as I don’t need to sms myself or backup the conversation with myself. Refund!!! ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2018-08-21, version 10.12* Doesn’t work at all. Forces you to rate 5 stars to fully use the app after you have paid for it. ### 1/5 — Not worth it. It’s useless! *2018-08-13, version 10.12* This app relies on Bluetooth connection and on a map to see nearby users. If no users in most of the countries in the world, which is the fact, it is useless. In addition to the not very useful app, the developer does not respond to questions asked. I have requested a refund and received no response from the developer either. I’ve deleted the app. ### 1/5 — No No No Don’t Do It Please 😩😩😩 *2018-07-26* Please don’t get this app it doesn’t work it’s a joke!!!! ### 1/5 — Can’t export or save default IPhone text messages *2018-07-18, version 10.12* There doesn’t seem to be a function to export existing iPhone messages. The only messages you can export are new messages, that you must create / write within this app. No instructions and application name is misleading. I want a refund please. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do what it says it does... *2018-03-27* I just downloaded it today (3/27/18) to see if it works. The app asked me to write a review of 5 stars to use all the rest of the features. Nowhere in the description does this say to do this. I didn’t even want to give it the star I did, but couldn’t post this review without doing so (which is stupid by the way). I just paid $2 to look at a map of my location and see a “text” with only my name. There was nowhere to add people or to import any texts currently active. There was an import button to import it to an excel sheet, but it had to be done in the app itself. @AppleSupport you should delete this app from your store and stop allowing people to be charged for something that is obviously going to steal your customers money!! ### 1/5 — Truly *2018-02-18* Rip off artist ### 1/5 — 0 stars - misleading *2018-01-25, version 10.12* Claims to export messages ... but overlooks to explain that is only messages created in the app. Pointless. ### 1/5 — Stealing your money *2017-12-10* That's why I like oranges. Apple wake up. Just remove these apps and teach these people a lesson and return my money ASAP. It is a joke people, save your money. Thank you... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What a joke! *2024-01-16* The app wants a 5 star review before you can use it. The reviews look great before you get in and then you find out you’ve been scammed. Get rid of this app offer!!!! Makes Apple look bad. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-12-08* This is not a good group texting app. Keep looking ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2023-04-04, version 10.12* Bought it to export my msg to file but doesn’t offer this, waste of money ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-03-13* Does not export existing texts ### 1/5 — Fraud *2022-12-16, version 10.12* App will not let you access it until you give a 5 star rating and does not do anything as stated. There is no option for text to email!!! Let’s you text yourself only ### 1/5 — Bait & Switch *2022-02-11* Don’t waste your money. This app implies that all of your SMS messages will be exported to a CSV file. However, you can only use that feature if you send text messages through the app. Then you can export the text messages. This app is more expensive than most and it uses your location for some reason. Keep your $4.99 and stay away from the all. I tried to complain to Apple about the problem but that feature also doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Scam *2022-02-10* It doesn’t do anything 😭 ### 1/5 — Wasted $4.99 *2021-09-09* Please refund ### 1/5 — Scam *2021-07-31* It asked me to rate the 5 stars and only then would I have access to the app. I didn't. Now the app just shows my location. It does NOTHING else ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2021-07-04* I spent $5 and it did nothing but show me an empty screen. ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Get your texts back *2020-05-27* By the reviews sounds like this is a load of poop --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
