However it ONLY saves texts with its automatic feature. It doesn’t stitch screenshots. Now with shorter conversations it’s not a problem because you can click on the options menu and there’s a “Show Screenshots”option. From there you can download them and take them to another stitching app. However when it gets too long, that option is not longer there and that’s extremely frustrating. I have no idea what the limit is so I can’t even adjust to meet it. ### 5/5 — straightforward text transfer *2026-04-29, version 1.27* No bloat, no weird watermarks. Just a fast way to get my texts onto my computer as a PDF. Exactly what it says on the tin. ### 5/5 — perfect for documentation *2026-04-26, version 1.26* Needed to document a harassment claim. This kept the emojis and timestamps perfectly intact, which was vital for the investigation. ### 1/5 — Manual process *2026-04-02, version 1.24* This is jot helpful at all, you have to say scroll up as many times as you have to press the top of the page which defeats the purpose of needing this app. It also glitched and started recording my voice and sent it in the chat which was horrifying - UGH! Waste of money ### 1/5 — Terrible makes no sense *2026-03-27, version 1.24* Could not get to work ### 5/5 — Important messages saved *2026-03-14, version 1.23* Kept putting off saving some really important old messages—ones from my mom before she passed and some funny ones with friends who moved away. Finally did it with this app. Feels good knowing they're not just stuck on my phone anymore. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2026-03-02, version 1.23* While it wasn’t great to start with, meaning some of the content of the message didn’t download properly (ex. Pictures and screenshots sent) for the most it was ok and easy to use but after just 3 days now the app just keeps closing as is creating the file and it keeps failing so it’s useless. I re started my phone and the app many times and nothing worked. ### 5/5 — paid client invoice *2026-02-26, version 1.23* Freelance client was saying "I never asked for that extra work" even though the texts were right there. Exported the back-and-forth to PDF with TextKeep, sent it over politely, and invoice got paid the next day. ### 5/5 — No watermark issues *2026-02-25, version 1.23* I tried the “free” export apps first, but they either crashed or added watermarks. The PDF looks normal when exported from this app and isn’t oddly formatted. ### 5/5 — great support experience *2026-02-23* Had an issue where it wouldn't work on my old 11. Emailed support at like 1 in the morning and someone actually replied in under an hour with steps that fixed it. Didn't expect that. App's been solid since. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Airpods No Go *2026-08-10, version 1.30* This app over promises. It is an attempt at an ai that fills a need that phones do not include. But did not work even though I had earphones connected via USB. I will ask for a refund. ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2026-07-30, version 1.30* The app does not pick up the time stamp on each text message - only the date. There is no way to add it. It is very glitchy in the AI capture that requires a lot of editing. It will not transfer screenshots or photos from conversations either. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — I want a refund *2026-07-19, version 1.30* The description doesn’t explain that you have to help the app manually scrolling and that it will take screenshots for hours and turn them into text. I can do the same myself and the stitch with AI. Useless to me. ### 1/5 — Still manual *2026-07-08, version 1.30* I tried to use the app and it is still very cumbersome and not user friendly. And there’s no trial so you don’t know if it does what you need without having to pay first. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-05-31, version 1.30* Could not get the scanning to work. Tried the help chat - didn’t help. Asked for a refund - no luck. Save your money. ### 1/5 — Does not work as advertised *2026-04-29, version 1.27* I want my money back. Tried a dozen different ways to get it to work, could get it to actually scroll through the texts, and found a desktop solution that captured everything I needed and put it in a pdf. Screenshots of my texts is not what I was looking for and it feels like a stupid inefficient back door that Apple makes the developer half to jump through to get remotely close. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-04-20, version 1.26* This product is not as described. They got my $20 bucks and I got nothing. ### 1/5 — Redundant with AI… *2026-04-13, version 1.26* I thought this was an app to export texts from a long message thread on iPhone… they charge you $8 a week to manually take screenshots of every single text exchange. I can do this for free and upload those using Anthropic or another AI platform and it will do the exact same thing. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-04-10, version 1.26* Does not order texts properly ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2026-04-06, version 1.26* It misses messages, doesn’t record time and does not record emphasis (thumbs up or heart) or images. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-08-10, version 1.30* Very good ### 5/5 — Perfect for reading back on *2026-07-22, version 1.30* This was exactly what I was looking for!!! Exports messages just like you are reading the text thread. ### 5/5 — one file *2026-06-13, version 1.30* Way better than taking 200 individual screenshots. ### 5/5 — dad's texts *2026-06-09, version 1.30* Lifesaver. Saved all my late dad's texts. ### 5/5 — professional document quality *2026-05-01, version 1.27* Glad I paid for this. The PDFs look like actual documents, not some weird app export. Great formatting and very easy to navigate. ### 5/5 — Reliable contract management *2026-05-01, version 1.27* Use this for all my client contracts now. It’s the easiest way to keep a permanent, readable record of everything agreed upon. ### 5/5 — quick message conversion *2026-05-01, version 1.27* My lawyer needed the full thread by morning. This app turned two years of messages into a clean, dated PDF in seconds. Way better than 500 screenshots. ### 5/5 — Efficient client tracking *2026-04-30, version 1.27* I use this for work to keep a paper trail of client approvals. It’s simple, effective, and makes everything searchable. ### 5/5 — Efficient message archiving *2026-04-29, version 1.27* I had 2,000+ messages to archive. This app didn't crash once and the final PDF is even searchable. Incredibly efficient. ### 5/5 — Perfect for hearings *2026-04-29, version 1.27* I was panicking before a hearing and this worked perfectly on the first try. Exported the whole thread and printed it in minutes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
