This is an extremely straightforward, easy to use app which does exactly what it says: backs up your texts in a readable format (either HTML or Excel). I find the price to be a bit high for such a simple function, but I guess they have a monopoly since there are no other apps that can do this and programs sold online cost around $50.00. I was personally willing to spend the $8.99 since BlackBerry backs up texts in an unreadable .bbb format which makes the act of backing up texts (i.e. the ability to access and read them on your computer) null and void. I recommend this is if this is important to you. It delivers.

Fool proof
Not exactly the solution I was looking for
Pluses Looks good… it shows the conversation in chronological order and clearly shows whos "talking" so you can clearly follow the conversation. Minuses It stores the files by date versus by user. So I have 12 folders for 2011, one for each month, in each of these folders is a file for each date that there were text messages. I was hoping to have one file per contact the way my phone stores it. Overall, it will work if you are desparate like I am for some sort of back up but it is not THE solution. Sigh… Why is it so hard to find an SMS back up solution. Anyway, good luck!
