I like that i can export my sms to email. That's my purpose for using the app. But it's glitchy... the app is pulling up texts I've deleted, and not finding some that i haven't. I added an email address in that setting, but it doesn't remember. I still have to select my BB Inbox, and the email account. Choosing BOTH inbox & Sent as an option.. Also, because of this app, i learned that blocked texts are NOT deleted when marked as spam. No clue where they are though, so i can delete them lol.

Backed up all my messages but when I restored them I lost a lot of replies and couldn't send any additional texts to those contacts. Go with a different app for your backup/restore.
