Comments on SMS Backup for Android

★★★★★ No warning Works pretty well, but should warn when backup fails. It be nice if it would remove archived sms from the phone with an aging criteria.

★★★★★ I love this so much Beibg a sentimental person, I love being able to back up my messages. This app is so simple and easy and it works great.

★★★★★ Still Kick's Ass I have used this app for a few years now. I have changed Android versions and done phone reinstall's and I am always at peace of mine knowing my SMS messages have been backed up. Keep up the great work.

★★☆☆☆ The SMS Backup is not working any more, it use to back up my SMS to my Gmail account, but now gives gives login error though I am using correct user ID and password, and I get an email saying Sign-in attempt prevented "app doesn't meet modern security standards" You need to update the security and make it compatible with Google standards.

★★☆☆☆ Could never get it to work I enabled imap, made sure my device was confirmed by Google and my login pass was corect, it just failed to work people should use sms backup +. It worked first time I tried it
