I downloaded the app and tried five times after setting up an account to login and all it did was close out the app every time. Don’t waste your time.
Only give it one star because it wouldn’t allow me to give zero stars.

From the photos this looks like a good app but it will not let me past the login screen because it keeps saying my phone number is wrong and it’s right and I’ve tried other people I know and I typed them in right still wrong according to the app

Got it and looked through it then promptly DELETED it. It DOES NOT allow you to delete messages from iMessage! The only way to do that is the person you’ve texted must also be using this invasive app. It was very ambiguous in the description and also on the site that came up when I searched for a way to unsend texts. It’s a 3rd party texting app and only texts sent through this app can be rescinded before they’re read and if they’ve be read I believe you have to get permission from the person you’ve sent to. At any rate, it’s NO HELP for unsending iMessages from an iPhone. I give it no stars because it’s totally misleading by way of omission and not setting correct expectations!
