Trial/Pro Versions "SMS Backup & Restore", even though it performs a simple task, is a major project to develop and maintain. Because there are so many devices and so many different apps for texting, it requires constant attention, development, and improvements. in order to keep it moving, there is a symbolic fee for unlocking all the features. The free version allows you to share 6 messages each time and includes ads. It is a bit more complex but it actually allows the full functionality, especially for shorter conversions. If you upgrade to pro, you can send all the messages in one go.

Comments on SMS Backup, Print & Restore for Android
★★★★★Brian J Shiozawa, MD· May 22, 2026
Downloaded messages for court. I bought a lifetime membership for $19.99, and it gave me exactly what I needed. Lifetime membership was well worth the money
★★★★★Henry Breton· May 27, 2026
Very handy for capturing texts and images in SMS text threads. I've been able to save many family photos that I would never have access to.
★☆☆☆☆Mith Coriel· Jun 19, 2026
Can't export more than 6 messages without paying. When I select 6 messages and press backup, I get an ad for the paid version, and it doesn't actually create a backup.
★☆☆☆☆D L Evans· Jun 11, 2026
It might be okay if the app worked, but it DOESN'T!. I paid for the lifetime premium membership. It's saying I don't have a membership, It's still only allowing me to copy 6 text messages, it still has ads, etc.... it's been a pain in my side more than anything. I'm requesting a refund since they can't provide the service.

Downloaded for texts to be possibly used for legal issue. Only seeing half of a chat transaction on each date. Waste of money
