1. 5/5Saved me from that “new phone” panic over losing dad’s texts

   My dad passed 5 years ago almost, and I’ve been super careful the once or twice I’ve had to change or update my phone, not to lose my texts with him. But the anxiety of losing them is only getting worse the longer it’s been since he texted me. This app made it so simple to capture and export the file and was worth the 8.99 a month. Even for the one thing. I feel so relieved to have those saved. And reading all our texts from over the course of 5 years was good for my grief too. Thanks, team

2. 1/5Garbage - Purposely Misled - DO NOT BUY

   What the app description fails to explain anywhere BEFORE you buy, is that in order for you to export messages from an iPhone or iPad, you must take screenshots of every few sections of the thread, one by one. Screenshots!! So for a conversation thats been ongoing for months, this would take days. In other words, there is no easy way like you would expect from the words they use such as “effortless”, “easy to use”, “quickly”, etc. There is nothing effortless with this app as there is no auto export functions UNLESS you download it on a desktop and plug your phone/ipad but I tried that and it fails every time and doesn’t even ask you what to backup. I’ve read every one of the companies responses and they basically say “tough luck try to get your money back from Apple knowing full well people aren’t going to go thru the trouble for $7. Total scam.

3. 5/5Good job boyo!

   As far as I can tell, this app's output is 100% not admissible in court, but it turned out to be really useful for crystallizing my engineering project ideas fueled by my relentless ADHD. They give you the option of editing any time stamp or message content before saving to a text file or a pdf file. Again, 100% not admissible in court. Just take screenshots for that and hope, my dude. Any jury can read rasterized screenshots of your texts, especially if you increase the font size first.

4. 5/5Finally! Waiting for this solution

   This app is such a time saver. I frequently take photos of message threads for documentation and reference. But they’re a pain to keep track of and you can’t really search them for text. This app changes everything. Probably the most useful app I have. And the feature of being able to edit the scan of the thread is amazing. Maybe it’s too good…

5. 3/5It’s fine when it works

   It’s a great app, but sometimes the text messages doesn’t always have the date on there. Yes you can edit it for the exact time and date after, but you have to do it for each text individually. Also, the delete and edit text messages doesn’t always work. If I have a text that came through incorrectly I try to edit it to what the actual text says but it wouldn’t let me. I’ve also tried restarting and deleting the app and reinstalling but the same issue persist.
