This is what I have been looking for! Finally, a SMS backup app that actually works. Super flexible too - I feel like I'm in complete control of the backup process. And as a techy person, I love the documentation they have on their website. It enabled me to edit the backup to manually fix texts that previous backup apps corrupted in the past. Only request is to add an option to skip a scheduled backup when there is nothing new. Backups can be huge, so it'd save storage, time, and data usage.

UPDATE: the developer responded promptly to inform me that there is a setting that will do exactly what I wanted to do! I have changed the rating to 5 stars which is well-deserved. (This is essentially a 5-star App. I deducted 1-star because I would like to have a user setting that allows cloud backup over a cellular connection. Because I leave my device on LTE, the scheduled backups fail until I switch back to my Wi-Fi network. In the big picture, this is just a small inconvenience.)

Bought a new phone last week, chose not to restore EVERYTHING from my old phone which had several old and potentially insecure apps. I had no idea this would mean no ability to manually restore call and SMS history at all (which I'm sure was possible before!) without performing a factory reset and losing all calls and messages on the new phone! Really strange setup by Google, so this app was a complete lifesaver. Was recommended it by family and would recommend to others in turn.
