## Description

**SMS Forwarder** automatically forwards and synchronizes SMS messages and push notifications across multiple devices, including your PC and other phones. Create filters, add recipients (Phone, Email, Webhook URL, Telegram, or Push Service ID), and customize the forwarded message template to fit your workflow. It supports Gmail and custom SMTP servers, dual SIM devices, and time-based forwarding windows. 

**Privacy & safety notes:** All processing happens locally on your device and no messages are stored on servers. Permissions are requested only when necessary. The app includes a cautionary note about potential scams and provides guidance on uninstalling and deleting local data. For security, ensure you install only from trusted sources and review requested permissions carefully.

## Review summary

Users value the app for easy setup and automated SMS forwarding, but find the ad-heavy free version burdensome and sometimes ineffective for banking/OTP messages. The mix of required subscriptions, ad frustrations, and intermittent reliability issues temper overall satisfaction despite solid usefulness.

### Pros

- Easy to set up and automate SMS forwarding
- Works as advertised and is generally reliable for its intended purpose
- Free ad-supported version meets basic needs
- Perceived as legit and useful for everyday tasks

### Cons

- Intrusive ad experience: long, forced ads, ad credits often not granted
- Free usage tied to watching ads; many reviews push for a paid subscription
- Banking/OTP forwarding issues and compatibility concerns with banks/UPI apps
- Reliability bugs and UI issues (e.g., blank dual-SIM options) after updates
