Comments on SMS Backup+ for Android

★★★★★ Tricky to get it running because Google made it hard for them! Not their fault, the app is still great! (06/2023 still running)

★★★★★ Love that it backs up your SMS to your Gmail. I stopped using it for a while but using Android Police article I got it working again.

★★★★★ This is still working and the Best backup app. Thank you!!

★★☆☆☆ After installing, you have to link it to your Google Gmail account. When I tried, Google blocked this app it due to risk. I uninstalled it. I used to use it years ago and it worked great. Too bad.

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work any more Sadly the app doesn't work anymore, it says about the app being blocked because it is trying to access my sensitive information.
