Best app for sms forwarding I've been use for years with no issues.
★☆☆☆☆BIG Office· Feb 9, 2026
Completely dishonest garbage. NOT free. I set up 1 simple filter and the app has been disabled until I pay. They claim they allow one simple filter, but apparently that's another lie. And there is no tech support, no email, and no telephone number. DO NOT REWARD DISHONEST COMPANIES. DELETE THIS APP BECAUSE THIS COMPANY IS DISHONEST!

App DOES NOT fwd RCS! Came over from Phone Leash thinking this is free, but no RCS support is a no starter. Mostly It's RCS now!
★☆☆☆☆Tarun Sharma· Apr 15, 2026
App has stopped forwarding otp's. Even bank otp option is enabled. It was working fine before but now not. Fix it, I won't contact developer.
★☆☆☆☆Bharti Bharti· Sep 27, 2024
After three days of working fine, the app is now failed to forward any messages. Was it a free trial? Pls check

Hi Developers, This is a bug report. This app works like magic. However, I have noticed a bug with State Bank of India SMS. This app can send otp and other SBI bank messages if using forward to email but fails to forward just SBI SMS if using forward to number. Apart from that, every other banks, e-commerce otp, and any other sms get forwarded pretty well. I hope you will fix this issue soon.

This supports its SMS-forwarding functionality but requires users to review permissions and enable features deliberately to ensure safety and privacy.
