About this app

Editor's Take
SMS Backup & Restore Pro sits at 4.1 stars across 2.1 thousand ratings on Google Play, and is still building an audience.
A rating in this range tells us the core loop works for most players; the usual friction points are cosmetic or balance-tweak territory rather than anything fundamentally broken.
SyncTech Pty Ltd is the publisher behind this release; we'd suggest taking a quick look at their other titles on Google Play if the style clicks with you. The last visible update lands 2025-12-02, which is a small but useful signal that the team is still shipping fixes rather than treating the app as abandoned.
