This app conveniently backs up SMS, Call logs & MMS to your Gmail account and restoring them is a simple process. You can specify the auto backup frequency and the label of the items backed up. Both functions of the app (backup and restore) worked without a glitch (backed up and restored over 3,500 SMS), making SMSBackup+ a must have for those who would like to keep a copy of their SMS etc. Great work, dev! 4/5

I can restore all sms, some sms are on my GMAIL but, it doesn't work 1/5

Hi, auto backup is not working hence I started manually and getting error message ' Error during backup/restore:Command: SELECT "SMS";response:#6#[NO,[NONEXISTENT], Unknown Mailbox: SMS (Failure)]. Handset is Sony Xperia C2104 Android 4.2.2, Location: India Kindly help or suggest the resolution. 5/5

I love this app! I've had it for over three years now and it's the first app I download when I get a new phone. It has helped me in so many ways. Everything from recovering lost phone numbers, passwords, pictures, etc. Once you have used it you'll be hooked. :) 5/5

I spent over 2 days trying to get all my messages transfered over and it never worked. The backup process is long (I had 23k+ messages to backup/restore) but well worth the results. This will be the first program I go to whenever I need a backup again. Thank you... (I will donate soon too!) 5/5

Best sms, call log backup app. U can see all backup in your Gmail. Great app mate. 5 star for me 5/5

It backs up everything,I see it in my account. When I restore, it only restores the texts I sent, not received... 2/5

Very easy to read and search SMS history and call log in GMail. Even keeps accurate timestamp for each message. Nice. 5/5

The app works fine, but I only just realised the ability to restore MMS is not yet available, though I assume dev team is working on that. I'll change my review when that's no longer a problem. 3/5

Every time it tries to backup the app displays an error message that says it's not working... Used to work.. WHAT HAPPENED? I'm forced to find another app 1/5

I love backing up my texts! It's easy to use and works great. Had this app on several phones 5/5

I really hoped for this app to be the one I need, but while backuped all of my SMS it restored only 3. 3/5

Worked perfectly before but got a new phone with 4.4 and they will not restore. It looks like they are but they disappear. Quite annoying. Need a fix soon. 5/5

Took forever to back up and then to restore and didn't transfer all texts. I think maybe there is a limit or something as it did just under 10,000 so my last 3 months of texts (the ones I was most interested in transferring across) didn't get transferred. Ended up deleting all transferred texts (took even more time!). As other people have said, may work better if don't have too many texts to transfer. 2/5

I've been waiting for ages for this application to support android 4.4+! Thankfully the dev updated it! It's simply the best app to backup messages and call logs. 5/5

Please add a backup and restore date range. It would reduce the time it takes to 'calculate' backups when all you need is 30 days worth or the last year. 3/5

It took a little longer to upload my texts but it baked them up right! Can upload custom conversations directly to your email. 5/5

Why people are rating it so low? Probably because they're entitled silver spoon fed millenialists that think everything should be perfect for them always. Jeez give the developer some more credit where it's due. The app saved your messages and for some that is really important if your messages got deleted. I've been using this app for 2 years and I have never had a problem with it and it is hardly an issue that the texts are recovered backwards or whatever. Bunch of unsatisfied critics! 5/5

Allthough Whatsapp is selected for backup, it stays on 'never backed up'. And initializing a backup says; there is nothing to backup. The backup status time of sms and call log is also far of the current time. 3/5

I don't really restore my sms. I just like to have them saved on my Gmail. So this works perfect for me. 5/5

Doesn't work on Kitkat. Does log in, restores but no sms app sees the messages. Hopefully the dev will fix this asap. Otherwise this app has always been my go-to sms backup and restore solution. 5/5

Never lose a text again. 5/5

Love this app for storing all my texts, by lately have had problems with it not backing up some of the messages with pics. 4/5

Would like the option to pick which texts to backup, instead of just having my entire text list backed up 3/5

This worked perfectly for backing up my messages. Please get MMS restore support working soon, will go 5 stars for sure. Also, if possible, when MMS restore is put in, give option to restore only MMS. Want to get some of those back onto my phone without restoring the whole SMS count that would make messaging fail. Thanks for a great app. EDIT: Update based on current version and a new install. MMS Restore, still not here. What was more an issue, got a message when linking the account on new phone to Gmail about OAuth "Important: OAuth 1.0 has been officially deprecated as of April 20, 2012 and will stop being supported on May 5, 2015." (based on Google complaining about OAuth 1.0 being discontinued) Does that mean this app will stop functioning at that point? 4/5

Last 2 times I've installed and tried using it, I've got disappointed. It didn't sync my messages any longer. At least in the first 5 tries it didn't work. It was giving some sort of error after running for 20 minutes. With the last try it seemed to have worked but when I've installed it on my new OnePlus One it synchronised until 2012... The very old messages that were in my Gmail. I'd like to have it working again. I liked it's simple interface and quiet(battery friendly) background sync to my email... 2/5

I can search any old communication on gmail using this backup tool. Restore is not quick. Great for backup and search 5/5

I backed up about 8000 texts from two phones (one 2012 model, one 2014; both android). As the software was working, I was really worried that it wasn't getting the photos, etc. (all the media files attached to messages). As I watched the message count go up in Gmail, there were no attachments on any of the messages. THE ATTACHMENTS WERE THERE WHEN THE PROCESS COMPLETED! I was SOOO GLAD and it was a nice surprise that the software actually did the job it advertised to do. Let the process complete and check through your messages. The layout in Gmail is not exactly intuitive (it bunches messages in 100 message blocks), and it's sometimes hard to find just photos if there wasn't text to associate with them for a keyword search. I'm still not sure I'm ready to nuke my phone memory and rely strictly on the backup (I fear that some great, important picture might be missing) . . . but I am very reassured now that the backup is done. Plus, I can wipe my old phone and give it to my kiddo. 5/5

Worked very well for me with lollipop OS. Even restored a four year old backup generated by the original "Sms Backup". Only problems I had were the result of lost connections with my server or cell tower. Once I reconnected it picked up where it left off. No duplicates, no lost sms due to max limit of 200 in default settings (thanks Lollipop). I would suggest that new users enable "Notifications" and "Sync Log" in the advanced settings so they will be aware of what the app encounters. This is the fastest SMS and Call log restorer that I've tried. Mybackup Pro is nicer because it will restore MMS... but it is painfully slow. One restore every 2-3 seconds (I had 5000+ to restore). Titanium Backup Pro was also slow, but how slow? I don't know. It doesn't report its progress. I just gave up and went to bed... by morning it had finished. The recent poor ratings I've read are likely influenced by connection problems that the users are probably unaware of. I donated to this app to support the development of restoring MMS. Can't give it five stars unless that is implemented. Well, I just hope the developer doesn't lose interest in this very worthy endeavor. 4/5

5 stars for helpful bug fixing customer service. 4.5 stars for functionality and satisfactory speed. 5 stars for design. No gimmicks or annoying ads. Performs exactly what it claims to do (and nothing it doesn't...still waiting for MMS Restore ability). Initial backup takes some time, but subsequent backups are much more efficient than other backup apps that save entire phone contents as one zip file (e.g. Android Easy Backup). This eliminates redundancy (and duplicate messages) as you periodically delete messages on your phone. ***BUGS: If you experience a technical problem/error, please DO NOT hold 'stars' for ransom and threaten a low rating. The developer cannot fix the problem without certain information. Instead, report the bug on GitHub and follow instructions. Jan will personally work with you to resolve the issue and release a new Beta version if necessary. I've used this app for backup for half a year and only experienced a bug once. Jan was able to fix the problem in 2 days (even working over Christmas!). Thank you, Jan Berkel! 5/5

Excellent!!! 5*****. Backup and restore operations work perfectly. !!!Update my review: Restore operation doesn't work with my Sony Xperia Z2 (Kit Kat). Hopefully, it will be fixed soon.... Update: Fixed, it works with Kit Kat. 5/5

I used to swear by this app but recently it just wont back up and says the last back up was the 12th Feb 2015. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, disconnecting my accounts but nothing will make this app work for more than a few days 1/5

But implementation still leaves to be desired... The restore is not ready for MMS, so that defeats the purpose of the backup. Also, restore puts your SMS back in the reverse order. What's up with that? It's convoluted and definitely not ready to be used as a backup. Two stars because it saved my messages in the gmail but that's just about the highest rating this app will get until it's up to par. Otherwise, even one star would be too much 2/5

I used the app earlier and it worked wonderfully. Infact i recommended to a lot of people as a must-have app. Now it doesn't work at all. it does not backup automatically even though the option is checked and settings have been done accordingly. When pushed for a manual backup, it takes forever to "calculate" and more often than not, it hangs mid-way and stays stuck for hours. I need to manually stop the service then. Sometimes it will hang mid-backup and stay that way for hours. "backing up 8/20" for hours. I'm very disappointed that such a great app is now not able to deliver the basics. And just to clarify, my sms are on phone memory and not on the SD card. I will have to search for alternates now i guess. 1/5

If I could give no stars I would I got the app and I opened it and would not let me do any thing I could not even turn off my phone got a virus horrible do not get this app! 1/5

I have a bad memory and this app hasn't let me down yet. And I don't have to pulg up my phone's memory to keep information I want or may need later. Wish their was a PDF on how to set up and use all the features that would complete it for me... 4/5

At some point during what seems like dozens of updates over the last few months, scheduled automatic backups simply stopped. Yes, I have the app correctly installed and configured. When I tell it to backup by tapping the Backup button it works correctly, but if I trust it to work automatically as programmed I find a load of texts and calls unsaved and a log which confirms that no backups occurred for days. Fix this, guys. 2/5

Went from an LG Optimus G3 to LG G3 recently. For some reason my text message history didn't survive the journey. I tried this app, but it magically found and restored text messages from 2011. Nothing more recent. My original backup backed up and restored on the new phone fine...seemingly, but the text messages never appeared on the phone. 2/5

I lost all my messages after I updated to a newer phone (LG3). It just keeps saying for minutes that it's restoring. But It never does it. I tried to reinstall the app with the same result. I emailed about the problem but it hasn't been fixed for months. But I'll be happy to change my rating to 5 if it gets fixed 1/5

I used this app to back up my texts in order to restore them to my new phone. First of all, the full backup took almost 2 hours. Then when I tried to restore them to my new phone, only about half of them showed up. I tried several times, same result. Finally I have up and used Helium instead, and it worked the first time, was much quicker (20 minutes to back up) and restored everything. So, if you have only a few texts, this will work fine. But if you have a lot, use Helium. 2/5
