I don't mind paying but then the paid features need to be mentioned upfront

Works FLAWLESSLY. Totally free (no ads or anything) and has a lot of options. I especially like the low battery notification -which at least gives me a heads up that my SMS forwarding phone is about to go offline.

When I tested the app message forward feature. It start sending same messages in bulk which doesn't require leads to lose some amount of charge which exhausted daily limit. Guys keep check on this, fix and improve.

I absolutely do not recommend. I'm really hoping that I don't lose business over this app. I set it up for clients text messages to go to my business email and this morning it sent out random text message conversations between me and other people to all of my clients.

It was working fine in start but after some time it stopped sending messages to my mail. Edit: Updating from 2 to 4 ⭐ as it is now forwarding all SMS after removing battery optimization from phone settings. Thanks for the response!

Works fine but without warning cancelled their service and demanded payment to continue. Not professional at all

For the most part, the app is as advertised. What I found bothersome was the inability of the app to forward MMS messages received on the Signal app which is my default messaging app. I then tried to get help using the app and it wouldn't send the message. Good for simple users. Not recommended for heavy users.

Does not forward consistently. Bought Premium annual in Feb 24. Now showing expiring soon. Total waste of money!!! Tried reaching Support many times. NO RESPONSE!! VERY very poor support. Very disappointed.

I use this for several months with excellent results. Then it stopped working inexplicably. I uninstalled and reloaded. I rebooted. I forced stopped and reopened. It immediately closed on opening. I have uninstalled it and installed another product. My phone is a Motorola with Android 10 and no other app issues.

Installed and Trying to setup Basic FREE Option for (1) Forward.. Phone keeps trying to Send Texts, but asking for Subcription Payment first... Guessing there is NO Free Option?

Every time someone texts me a mutimedia message, I receive a backlog of text messages that had already been sent. I then receive a message that says, "Forward SMS is sending a large amount of SMS messages. Do you want to allow this app to continue sending messages?" I then have to select "Deny" about 15 times because the message continues to appear. I then receive a backlog of already sent messages. Some of th messages sent are from over a year ago. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Would have rated 5 if app had not become premium by surprise. I have been using it for a couple of months, and just discovered that an update after October made a change: subscription now required if more than 1 rule. This did not exist and came by surprise. I downgraded to the version of last October. Works fine and is free.

Forwarding to email works fine, but not to Telegram. The UI is extremely buggy and error handling is poor.

Does exactly what it says. Thank you! 5 stars if the interface also worked in dark mode, I thought the app was broken at first. Remember: you are trusting a third party to forward your messages and not keep or use the data. If using email, your message could be transmitted over an unencrypted connection.

There is no reason for this app to be subscription based. There is no server side service that is needed in order for this app to work. Everything happens on the device itself. Edit for the dev: I never asked for it to be free. I said it doesn't have to be a subscription based app. Sure forwarding to telegram and such can use a server but it doesn't have to. Most things can be done locally and you also locked other features that do not require a server behind this new paywall.

It works great for forwarding that a call was received and see the contents of SMS text messages. You can also configure it to send events like power on/off, battery low etc. I am using it to forward these types of things to an email account.

I use this to forward to email and text. I have to have 2 Phone works great to go back to 1 phone. I also use this app to forward to my smartwatch which is great for those that want to disconnect. Easy to use.. no problems 😃 just really hope they don't start charging like some of the other competitions they have gotten very expensive 🫰

Very buggy. Had a situation where the app was trying to forward old messages I received a long time ago. Ended up forwarding hundreds of messages before I stopped it! The filters which are very important sometimes disappear after you do an Update (you have to actually change a filter otherwise the filter as it exists is lost). Gonna try some more tests but I may have to look for something more reliable.
