Components
Backup Android SMS, MMS and call log to Gmail / Gcal / IMAP. This app helps users to backup both text messages and multimedia messages to a specified mail
Proposal
This app is so useful for users, such that users can backup their messages and still access these message in the cas of phone theft, damage or if the user misplaced his/her device or phone. But sms backup plus is still missing some great features that can enhance the phone. I am proposing that the under listed features be included on the app.
View Backup: backups are done at specific intervals or a specified time set by the user. Presently, the app has no way of viewing backups done recently, you can only see the last time a backup was done. Viewing the list of backups done can help user manage the messages to be restored or to ignore/delete.
Deleting Backup: This option is also vital for users to delete unwanted backup to avoid restoring such mistakenly.
Backup location. Presently on the app, users are only allowed to backup to their mail. Expanding this option will be of great help. Users can backup to cloud, google drive, dropbox or even local device.
Specifying Period to be restored. This option will also help in restoring only necessary or wanted messages

Benefits
Adding these features to SMS Backup plus will make users manage their backedup messages better. It will help user be in control of what should be stored andwhat can be restored back to their phone or device. Having this features in SMS Backup plus will make the app user friendly
It will also contribute to the way users makes use of the app because of the ease of use and smart behavior.
Thanks
