Worked so well Did exactly what I needed it to do. Needed time and dates of texts of one person printed out and it did exactly that and super simple. Within a couple minutes I was printing off the documents I needed. Very clear to read and didn't miss any messages. So happy I found an app that really works great! Excellent job!

I had been searching a while for such an app. I get a lot of texts and some I need printed for legal purposes. This app works perfectly! No spam, no adware. You can select the specific text conversation and email it as a PDF or CSV file, your choice. I am going to explore this company more to see about any other apps they have. I rate it 10 out of 10! Good job! Thank you.

I will definitely raise the rating once the error is resolved that won't allow me to back up my text messages. I'm getting an Unknown Error and the troubleshooting suggestions do not work either. This app has been great up to the last update I did yesterday. Phone: Galaxy Note 20

I like free apps as much as anyone but occasionally I come across one that I know immediately is worth paying for. This app is definitely worth paying for. All other apps of this kind I've looked at wouldn't go anywhere near trying to include media files in the backup. This one does as well as offering an incredible array of formats to output to. Plus it's easy to use. I totally recommend this software and kudos to the developer for an amazing job!

An app that took some of the stress away I'm going through a rough time with my co-parent and court is inevitable. My attorney needed all of our texts and instead of having to copy and paste each message manually this app saved me a weeks worth of work. A text thread that dated back to 2014 took me 5 minutes to export and send to my attorney. Wonderful!

I have the paid version of this app. This is the only one I've found that supports Advanced Messaging, and exports correctly. Added bonus of having multiple ways to export. Recently encountered an issue, and support team was quick to respond. Highly recommend!
