Ratings and reviews

Agony. I needed to download my messages with an individual, and the companion Windows app kept crashing to desktop, making the process start over again and again. I finally discovered that I could grab a month or so of messages and save those before it had a chance to crash. What should have taken 15-20 mins took 6+ hours. Also, the connections were flaky at best. Wireless only worked once, and USB was temperamental. Save your time and sanity. Look elsewhere. I'll be seeking a refund.

I wish I would have read the reviews first. Save yourself the frustration and don't buy this app! It's terrible. It will run for hours acting like it's doing something and then fail with no explanation. I connected my phone to the software on my computer via Wi-Fi and a data cable. Nether option worked after waiting many hours. I tried a different app today and it was done in minutes.

I should have read the reviews. DO NOT BUY THIS APP !!! downloaded , paid 30$ ,verified payment with credit card , then wasted 3 hrs watching " downloading messages" buffeting over and over. Additionally , after verifying that I paid the screen pop up said I was using the temporary version which doesn't work. I then went back on my phone to find the 23 character ' activation code' also did not work. If you need to copy and print text messages , find another app , this one does not work .
