Backup and Restore Customer Insights

1. When this happens you have to put a checkmark on the apps not backed and press the backup button BUT sometimes the Backup button does not active and therefore you can't back up the apk I set the number of backups to 2 but I found as many as 5 copies of the same app in the archive.Doesn't automatically back up apks even though it is correctly set to do so, I have to do it manually.

2. The app crashes when I try to connect my Google Drive account, and when I try to set the backup path, it just shows a blank screen with a confirm button at the bottom, but if I tap confirm, it gives an error saying the backup path is empty and with no way to set it.

3. This new version cannot find the previously backed up files, says I don't even have an SD card, and won't let me edit the location of the backup default folder so it will actually find them.

4. Regrettably, the program appears to be getting worse rather than better.there used to be a drop-down menu on the main interface that allowed me to backup my Samsung themes, which is the main reason why I use this app.

5. Clearly everything becomes junk sooner or later.Sms is not restoring In my new phone it shows "Set this app as default app for messaging" and in settings it does not shows in messaging apps list.

6. I have archived files (from the previous version) on my SD card and would like to revert to another apps older version.

7. Currently in the market for a new app that actually works the way it should.The app doesn't seem to be able to do anything other than to turn off the wifi on the receiving phone.

8. It doesn't always automatically backup installed apps to the Archive.

9. Would have given 1 star, but at least they tried to provide Google Drive as a storage option, so that's worth something.I have NO CLUE what was done to this app! It's limited, confusing &/or worthless.

10. Now my Drive is accessible again! I've been using this app for a long time because it's rock solid and lets me choose where on the SD card I want to store my backups.

11. If you like getting angry, this app is for you 👎Google Drive issue still broken in v6.0.8. This latest version was said to have fixed this issue yet for me it still exists.
