Comments on SMS Exporter for Android

★★★★★ Christopher Seglem · Sep 6, 2026

DOES EXACTLY WHAT ITS SAY WITH BS OR ADS OR UNWANTED ANNOYING NOTIFICATIONS

★★★★★ Krzysztof 448 (Chris) · Jun 17, 2026

Easy to use and the export to PDF works great. It makes it easy to search through old text messages

★★★★★ Carl Byron · Jul 10, 2026

Pretty easy to use! I have some texts I can't afford to lose, and the exports are accurate and fast.

★★★★★ Mandeville Technical Services · Jul 21, 2026

So great. Next time I use it, ill donate.

★★☆☆☆ Mister X · Jun 22, 2026

Could be improved by saving to a sqlite and keeping metadata like whether a msg is starred or if a convo is archived/spammed. Sqlite would allow for exporting contacts info as well. Saving to Downloads folder would be nice too. Doesn't save more than ~4300 items to CSV and becomes super slow when trying PDF after ~4300. XLSX works but its date Time column gets screwed.

★★☆☆☆ Wintry Kiss · Jun 22, 2026

So far I guess it does what it was supposed to do, but it's not downloading the pictures and any voice chats and the voice text messages, so I'm not sure this is the right app for me, I wanted something that would download pictures and whatever through the text messages unless I'm doing something wrong, but I don't think so maybe if they can develop it a little more in then I can see voice text along with pictures then I might give it five stars

★★☆☆☆ Aya M · Aug 28, 2026

Probably a decent app, but not good for someone who doesn't delete their messages. It wants to read them all when I only want to extract a single thread. It can not handle the sheer volume. Would be better if you had a choice of what to extract instead of it wanting to read all your data first.

★★☆☆☆ Stockton Morris · Jun 23, 2026

This has been a great app for exporting text threads for court, until it stopped reading the texts I sent in June. It only shows texts received from June 1st to today. When that is fixed, I can update my review to 5 stars.
