Comments on SMS Backup, Print & Restore for Android

★★★★★ Michelle Walcott · Mar 18, 2026
I needed to back up, save and print very important text message thread. It was easy and very helpful
★★★★★ 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.
★★★★★ 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
★★★★☆ Jennifer Baker · Mar 25, 2026
The only reason I didn't give it all 5 stars is because it printed out my text conversation all out of order. that's going to be fun being as it's a 5yr long conversation 71 printed pages worth! It worked great and was easy to navigate. I am grateful I was able to print this conversation. Its important my son was brainwashed for 5 yrs. He is now 17yrs old. My number was blocked, we did know. Ive been sending text continuously for the past 5yrs. I want him to be able to see.
★★☆☆☆ Kenneth Rutt · Mar 17, 2026
Can only save off 6 messages unless you buy the paid version. Paid version is overpriced and so is the subscription
★☆☆☆☆ David Clark (PwyllPryderi) · May 20, 2026
Unable to use this for Facebook Messenger, Only accesses my Messages on the Phone Texts.
★☆☆☆☆ Mel S · May 5, 2026
It worked a month ago, and now it misses messages. Since I need this for court it is useless. I wasted an hour going through messages before I realized why the conversations didn't flow. Random missed messages for no apparent reason.
★☆☆☆☆ E Thompson · Apr 24, 2026
Bought full version to extract messages for court, it still has not been able to upload them correctly or export them to text. Like the features of the chat look alot.
