User Reviews

Reviews show a mixed picture: some users find SMS Forwarder reliable, useful, and easy to use for basic forwarding tasks.

Positive developer engagement and ongoing improvements noted by some users.

Cons

Free version is extremely limited and basic features require expensive payments or a subscription.
Frequent reliability problems, including sudden stoppages and failed test/OTP forwards.
Significant privacy concerns about forwarding all SMS to the app's servers.
Poor support and onboarding, with reports of difficult verification and non-responsive help.
Feature access often gated behind premium updates, which can be disruptive.
