One of the greatest and most useful apps ever I just wanted to thank the developer (s) of this great application, i was looking for an app to transfer my sms messages from an iphone to an android device and bam! There it was. I used to use an earlier version of this software in pair with which although was working but had trouble converting smilies and none English letters which dissapointed me, but this new version is the bomb. Does everything like a charm and makes my life hell of a lot easier, and therefore i thank the creators of this great app.

Fairly easy to use The app itself worked great and I am so happy to have found it. I had many texts from a loved one who has since passed away that I would have hated to lose. I had some difficulty with the instructions: Maybe it's my phone (MotoG), but I was unable to copy the SMS database directly from my desktop to my phone's storage (I used Google Drive for the transfer instead). Thanks for creating this app!

iPhone 5c to Nexus 5x went well It went very smoothly. In an ideal world, it would handle MMS but that's not that big of an issue. I can get media of importance manually...Awesome App. Thank you!!

This app is excellent for transfer of messages from iPhone to Android. The only thing I would like to add is that I could not locate the back up file in the location on iMac as mentioned here. Better option is to search for back up location on iMac itself, that is easy. Thanks

Super Cool Just as I was about to give up on how to transfer my text messages from iPhone 6 to Samsung S7, I came across this app along with instructions on how to first move them to my PC. All text mssgs were transferred except for mms, but that was no problem...I just saved those to my photo library and then moved them along with all my other Pictures. All in all, kudos for those that created this handy application 👌🖒

Work like a dream!!! Did everything I needed it to do without much work. It was alittle difficult at first finding the computer files but after that it was awesome. I am happy everything is transferred to my new phone. Thank you so much

This app is amazing. I've just moved from an iPhone and it has been a massive pain in the neck. But this app has done exactly what I wanted it to - i.e. saved all my messages from the istamt past up to this morning. Brilliant.

pockiies May 1, 2016

Works as advertised Got all the message conversations transferred to my new Android worked without a hitch. It takes a while to complete, but I simply started it before I went to sleep and when I woke up, all my conversations were there. Though the instructions may not be specific enough, a simple google search is all you need. Thank you again!

Vikas Soni July 27, 2016

Fantastic worked This app should be No. 1, finding this type app since few years, highly recommended for iPhone to Android SMS transfer. Finally Thanks a lot👍👌

Brett Nelson June 24, 2016

Worked perfectly Moved about 5,000 messages from my iPhone 6s to my HTC 10 in under a minute. Stock messages app is working fine. Easy enough to grab the database from a backup and throw it on Google Drive to transfer it. Good work Dev!

EskeRahn July 13, 2016

Excellent no nonsense app!! Sms only though It does exactly what it is supposed to. Nothing less (and nothing more) had it handled mms too, it would have been perfect

Isaac Alvarez July 31, 2016

The best! It was critical that I kept all messages from my iOS device I came across this app and instantly felt relief. This is the best SMS transfer app on the Android market. I recommend it to everyone.

Mandy Sond July 17, 2016

I recently moved from iPhone to the One Plus 3 and this worked amazing! I had a few issues the first couple of times :( but when i left it and came back to it, it worked great! Will be using it for my boyfriends One Plus as well.

Ken S June 15, 2016

Handles the basics Group text are sometimes broken up and distributed into single conversations. Would be better if it could maintain group texts consistently.

Jan Grewe June 30, 2016

Hi Ken, unfortunately there is no iMessage-equivalent on Android, so it is technically impossible to create group conversations. I am sure you prefer to have those messages rather in single threads than not all right, right? ;-) As this is not a fault of my app, could you please reconsider your rating? Thanks!

Keisha g July 21, 2016

I got to keep precious memories I went around in circles for a bit because of an article. I didn't need a second app. Worked perfectly and I get to keep all my precious memories!

Ryan Morris July 22, 2016

It works just needs some better instructionas I had to transfer my imessage the android and this is the only app i could find that worked! The instructions for the mac on where to find the backup is a bit misleading. To open the correct route click on the main screen of your mac and the finder toolbar should come up. Select GO and when the drop-down menu shows press the control (alt) button. This will reveal a new selection 'library' click on it and follow the rest of the instructions. Once you have the file email to yourself and then open in the app

Spencer Brown June 4, 2016

I had high hopes I'm going back to my S5 temporarily and had great hopes for this app!! But after backing up and moving files (that took a while to find) I have transfered my folder to my SD card. Issue #1 - there isn't a "Select All Texts" option for me to select ALL 3,500 items. I can only select 1 box at a time. Issue #2- when I do select 1 item, just to see what it would do, the app crashes! My fourth failed attempt lead me to this review.

Jan Grewe June 8, 2016

I think you misread the instructions: You need to only copy one (1) very specific file, which you select then from the list of files. That's why you can select only one. This file is the one that contains all your messages. Any other file won't work, and they don't need to be copied to your SD.

Denise kielek August 30, 2016

Amazing! Transfered all of my iPhone messages over to my new Samsung S7! I asked the Verizon girl I bought the phone from, the Verizon guy at another store and called customer service and NOT ONE knew how to help me. All the apps they gave me didn't include text messages. So I tried this and BAM! To note: I couldn't save the file from iTunes to my android so I downloaded Google Drive on my computer and saved it there, downloaded the file in Google drive on my phone , opened this app, and transfered!

Jarred Roberts September 23, 2016

Must have for iOS to Android switch Transferring from iOS gets a little tricky with iMessages and this app undoubtedly gets the job done. Great job from the developer.

Cory Hamma July 23, 2016

Works great! Even grabs iMessages. Follow the instructions on the web site mentioned in the description. I was able to grab just the conversations I needed from my iPhone 5s backup with no issues. They integrated perfectly with the existing conversations on my Android 6 phone (Moto G4). Great job! Donation coming soon.

Christian Villegas August 28, 2016

Really Helpful Switching to Android and wanted to move all my conversations, it looked complicated but at the end it was pretty easy

dayron elias May 12, 2016

Thank you This app has saved my life,I really appreciate your hard work. Thank you so much !

Yoneek Scott May 31, 2016

Way too slow It worked, but it took over 20 hours to restore 44,000 messages. I've converted similar amounts in less than 2 hours with similar apps.

Jan Grewe June 1, 2016

The app works as fast as your phone allows it to, but any virus scanner etc. will slow things down. I think the 2 star rating is pretty unfair, as it's obviously not a problem of the app. On a naked Android phone it should be able to easily convert over 50.000 messages in less than 30 minutes.

David Parsons May 22, 2016

Great for iPhone to Android sms It doesn't seem to transfer MMS. Is that a feature planned? Is there another app that works as well as this one for MMS?

Jan Grewe May 28, 2016

Hi David, message attachments of MMS and iMessages are not saved to the iPhone's database file, but as separate files on the iPhone, which makes it is very difficult to import them, and not having an iPhone makes it pretty much impossible for me to even try to develop this... Sorry!

Steven C August 20, 2016

Good app Did everything i needed the first time. My iphone was jailbroken so was easy to find the sms.db file, emailed to myself and save on android phone then let this app do its magic with it.

Ranga atEFI July 13, 2016

Works as advertised. Works as advertised . Once you have the import file the actual activity is just few clicks and all the messages showed up.

Lars Jürgensen May 14, 2016

Very good. Had to try a couple og times, but then all is transfered - Nice :-) About 10 min. for 10000 messages.

September 21, 2016

Does not work Keeps crashing. I've read installed it ten times and it still crashes. Waste of time

Kris Cox June 17, 2016

Driving me nuts!! My messages app is so slow now and constantly crashes as soon as I used this app.

Deepak Siddananja May 22, 2016

Worked Was worried about those 2000 messages on iPhone, glad this app helped immigrating them to Android

Shiv Pandya May 14, 2016

Easy! Awesome app to transfer SMS from iOS to Android. Works like charm as long you haven't had backup encrypted in iTunes.

Mingkui Wei April 29, 2016

Good and intuitive to use Changed from iPhone to Android and find this app, very intuitive to use and imported or my message to the new pune without any problem!

Jaykishan Mistry August 10, 2016

Perfect App does exactly as described. Takes a bit long if you have a lot of messages to covert.

07Czed July 25, 2016

Thank you sincerely! This app helped me keep some really important messages, and preserve some loved memories to. This really meant a lot thanks!

Anas Hasan Muhammad May 8, 2016

Excellent job Thousands of messages transferred from iphone to android by following a systematic way and without hassle.

Subhramani Sathyanarayan June 11, 2016

Simple and intuitive Very simple app and easily got me off the iPhone by moving all the text messages into my Android device.

Andrew LD September 9, 2016

Works perfectly! I was able to grab my SMS database from iCloud (check GitHub for tools) and import it all into my phone.

Oliver Challinger July 15, 2016

Simple Easy to use, very grateful to maker for this app. Slow but does the job.

LaRoy Alexander Wolf July 15, 2016

Works perfectly Amazing app! Was able to move 16,000+ messages after pulling the file from my iOS backup. A++ dev

Barry McCool September 21, 2016

IPhone 6 to one plus 3 ISMS2droid worked perfectly to get messages out of the iPhone SMS file and into my messenger app on the one plus 3.
