Ratings and reviews

This app is a godsend. I needed to backup text messages for litigation for legal settlement. Other people keep lying and gaslighting me, including my own lawyer and opposing party. I thought I was losing mind until I got this and searched through texts catching them in lies. I am so glad I got it. It works flawlessly, and once exported to PDF and saved to drive accessible on computer, Adobe can be used to search for keywords; and can also print to give as evidence to court. Buy it!

Easy and Exactly what I needed. Totally worth the $2. I got so tired of trying to back up my messages through apps and web. Only thing I hope they change is I had so many messages it would say I didn't have enough space but I was only looking for specific messages from one person. So if they gave me the option to choose the person at the same time as the time frame it would be way easier than trying to download all the messages which led to the lack of space and having to shorten the time frame.

I tried many different apps and programs to print my text messages for court, this is the only one that works! Others are very pricey and only work if you use the Google messages app. I used to use Samsung messaging and this is the only app compatible with both. This is a game changer for any custody, or court hearing, especially if the other party is willing to lie! Would be 5 stars if I didn't have to download ALL messages from the chosen period, not just what you need.
