Deleted it 3 minutes after downloading. ### 1/5 — Not working!!! iPhone 5s *2015-01-09* When I open the help app is crashing ### 1/5 — Horrendous *2014-12-21, version 1.4* Absolutely horrific app. Literally can't do anything without crashing. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Not working *2014-12-07* The only thing that worked in my iPhone 6 were the ads! Tried to access 5 times the "need help" and crashed every time ### 1/5 — Charged for a free app *2014-11-04, version 1.4* Avoid! You get charged for downloading this so called free app. Plus you have to use their paid for add on to use it. Rip off!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It doesn't work *2016-02-21* Don't waste your money. This app doesn't work. I used it to save viber messages and it only saved/transferred the messages for only one day. It says that the app it's free but as soon as you try to transfer the data they ask you to pay .99 because you exceed the data transfer. I paid and like I said it only transferred messages for only one day and I wanted to save messages from Viber for a month. Useless app. ### 1/5 — No functionality. Everything crashes *2015-06-10, version 1.4* Almost every time you interact with this app, it crashes. Doesn't even come close to functioning ### 1/5 — Constant crashing *2015-06-05, version 1.4* Constant crashing, unusable. Please update. ### 1/5 — Doesnt do anything (iPhone6) *2015-06-03* A pretty interface with no features. I couldn't find a way to do anything except purchase something or delete the test convo (which they apparently forgot to delete themselves). Clicking on either help button immediately crashes the app every time. ### 1/5 — Crash Test Dummy, apparently *2015-06-02* I feel like an unseatbelted crash test dummy. Thanks for nothing. ### 1/5 — Useless *2015-05-23* The app keeps crashing... Useless ### 1/5 — Rubbish app. Waste of time *2015-05-15, version 1.4* Rubbish app!!!! Don't waste your time downloading it. Crashes on anything you click onto. I didn't even want to give one star but it didn't give me that option. ### 1/5 — Do not download *2015-04-09, version 1.4* The app does literally nothing but crashes ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2015-03-10, version 1.4* Gave it a star but does not deserve it. Absolute garbage. Keeps crashing as soon as I try to go into the help setting. What's the point? DO NOT DOWNLOAD ### 1/5 — Load of crap *2015-03-01, version 1.4* When I click on the 'want help', it doesn't let me go in, the app closes down ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lambona *2020-02-18* Gracias ### 5/5 — Impresive search function *2017-03-15* I can't speak to any other functions, but I was amazed by the search function. I needed to find one specific message in a WhatsApp conversation from 3 months ago. I figured it would take ages for the ap to import the convo and then search through the 7000+ messages, but it took seconds!! Very impressed. ### 5/5 — Powerful tool *2016-01-10, version 1.7* Have you ever tried to find a particular conversation within a chat you have been having with someone over two years.... It's difficult, Viber especially has a very unhelpful search tool built in, most of the time it feels like it just chooses a random conversation and offers it as a consolation prize for your efforts. Whatool gives you a powerful search tool that lets you import your conversations and gives you control over masses of information . Search using a choice of different variables including dates and text . Only drawback is the data exported from viber doesn't include if a call was made or not. Hmmmm defiantly a thought for the next version ... Anyway great tool download it . Ps great for couples needing to resolve what was said when and why lol.... ### 5/5 — THANKYOU DEVELOPER *2014-06-28* BEST APP! ### 4/5 — Awesome *2015-08-03, version 1.5* Great to have the ability to search massive whatsapp threads ### 4/5 — Amazing *2015-04-22, version 1.4* Amazing app! ### 4/5 — good *2014-08-18* it is a great app to view whatsapp chat history it is definitely better than whatsapp in-app search. i like the option to choose which person you want to be in conversation. the only downside of this app is that there is a limit to store conversations in the app unless you purchase unlimited conversations. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
