Best part of this tool is that your phone does not need to be rooted. The interface of this tool is very basic and needs no explaining.

As informed earlier, this is a free app support with ads which can be seen clearly in the above mentioned screenshot. The application has very easy to understand buttons and hence is not confusing. Performing backup of the messages.
When you click on backup, you get to select the backup folder. Default is the internal storage card. You can also backup messages on the external storage card. Latest version also gives you an options to backup to a custom folder. When you use the custom folder option, you can give the backup folder your own name.
For this review, I have chosen the default Internal storage card. Once you click on ok you will be presented with the below screen. Here you can name the file as per your requirment. The default naming convenction starts with SMS, year, month, date, time of backup. The storage file is saved in XML format to save space.
Other options available for you is to select all the conversations or selected conversation that you want to backup. It also allows you to backup to cloud storage like google drive or dropbox. Once you click on ok the messages will be backed up.
Restoring the messages is also really easy. All you need to do is click on the restore button and then select the location that you have saved your messages. You are automatically shown the below screen to restore the messages.

Settings are also self explanatory like choosing your backup folder, to backup settings, or scheduling backups. Most important is the security that this app provides, which is password protection. This is really helpful if you have sensitive messages to be backed up.
Overall the application does its job correctly and efficiently. Options like drive and dropbox saving makes things easier when swapping devices or also during the factory reset without the worry of loosing your message backup.
