Trial/Pro Versions
"SMS Backup & Restore", even though it performs a simple task, is a major project to develop and maintain. Because there are so many devices and so many different apps for texting, it requires constant attention, development, and improvements. in order to keep it moving, there is a symbolic fee for unlocking all the features.
The free version allows you to share 6 messages each time and includes ads. It is a bit more complex but it actually allows the full functionality, especially for shorter conversions. If you upgrade to pro, you can send all the messages in one go.

Ratings and reviews

I found myself in need of printing multiple text message threads for court. App was user friendly. I know that because I am not technologically savvy; and I figured it out. Multiple options for how to save (PDF, HTML, WORD...). I chose PDF. The only issue that I ran into, WHICH IS NOT THE APPS FAULT, was that the amount of messages that I turned into a PDF was too large to send via email. EASILY FIXED BY SAVING ONE MONTH OF TEXTS AT A TIME (5 STARS FOR THE ABILITY TO SELECT A DATE RANGE)

Absolutely terrible app. It's as if the developers forgot what this app is for. Paid 15 bucks to unlock its message saving capacity to unlimited. Saves backed up messages to the INTERNAL drive (???). Go into settings, and it lists the Default Saved location as an internal folder. YOU CANNOT CHANGE THIS. So when you go into the Internal drive and find the folder it uses for backup and COPY that folder to your SD CARD, in your new phone this app does NOT restore the messages! Worthless junk app.

It's a solid program for exporting SMS streams to a variety of formats, and so far it has been stable and works well. There are a couple of minor things the developer could improve (the font used for HTML exports is not the same as the font I selected...which is actually more annoying than I expected it would be) or add (such as enabling automatic backups at scheduled intervals), but overall I'm happy with the app.
