## Review summary

Users like the intuitive design and that it appears to deliver on its stated function, but reliability is a major issue: frequent crashes, WhatsApp-only export, no iMessage support, and lack of instructions raise concerns about value for a paid app.

### Pros

- Intuitive design; easy to use.
- Does what it promises / works as advertised.

### Cons

- App crashes or closes unexpectedly during use/export.
- WhatsApp-only export; no support for iMessage or standard Messages.
- No in-app instructions or documentation.
- Paid app that doesn't work reliably / value concern.
