I have a serious problem with this company's deceptive practices. When I was shopping around, I chose Transfer Companion only because it claimed I would be purchasing a lifetime license to use their desktop app. Without any warning of any kind, and without updating the app on either my desktop or cellular device, it stopped working.

I have used Droid Transfer for 2 years. Had a problem with the update, but was eventually resolved. Today however, I am only able to download single text messages. When trying to down a group text, it doesn't download the messages in conversation mode. Instead it separates the messages into individual texts messages and doesn't include me responding to questions. How can this be fixed?

I have literally spent 4.5 hours just trying to transport over my text. I've emailed support a couple of times. I keep getting an error message saying, "Failed to Load messages." I did all the enabling, giving admin rights, debugging, and I spent $35.00 to make sure I got the best version. Still is not usable. I'm so disappointed.
