Was great but has gone down hill bad. Just stopped working.
Can't root samsung s7 phone so useless.
Update: after all, is doesnt even let me restore my cloud backup. It only shows about 20 of my 70 apps. -- It TOTALLY needs an option to skip/postpone schedules if certain conditions are not met. Like upload your backups only if charging and connected via WiFi, for example. It has eaten my data plan and battery twice.
I installed CM13 on my Nexus 6P, and backed up all my apps. On restore, every single app that was backed up would not start as it crashed each time. Two stars rather than one because Jrummy is pretty chill. Disappointed in this app.
Fails to backup apps after rom update, tried several different roms and it just fails everytime. Had to switch to titanium backup
Then he asked if i was rooted. He did indicate he needed to update. Didn't backup, sync or restore. Very disappointed. App looks impressive, but no instructions. Good Luck!
It's not perfect. But what is? You need root. If you are running MM or newer then there will be limitations imposed by the os which (currently) NO APP can work around. Correctly restore the path you used for backup files. XML settings will restore within same ROM version BUT MAY NOT in others. Go to website, interact, read, ask questions and fully understand the answers. THERE'S NO MAGIC BACKUP APP. Frequent updates don't imbue me with confidence as to the quality of previous versions. Stability important.
I'm giving a 2 because I like JRummy and most of his stuff works well. But every restore fails, even with root. I emailed and received no answer. Disappointed.
Root seems to be needed to restore backups. It's really deceitful to not mention that upfront.
Paid version and I have not been able to do an application backup yet...tried 10 times....same error. Need a refund....thanks
I have attempted to batch sync to Drive three times now and unless I keep my phone in an "on" state, it freezes and never finishes. Of course, because it takes a while to back up it seems a bit absurd to have to sit there waiting for it just to finish. This is the whole reason I wanted this app. The only way to make it work was to do them individually.
This app is nothing compared to titanium backup. I bought this app to save money. But at the end of the day I saw it couldnt hold a candle to tibu. So I spent the 5$ for tibu and been happy ever since. Jrummy is an outdated dev still hoping ppl are dumb enuff to keep buying his apps. This dev is on my not to buy from list.
I have barely used this app, when I finally do, I realize the restore feature is lacking in a big way. restoring system apps with data from another ROM is going to cause problems. this needs to be the focus for any updates to this app. it's a good app in a pinch, but no Titanium. just spent the past hour trying to clean up after a fresh ROM flash.
Can't seem to find back ups on my phone for calls logs and texts messages and such and when backing up app data and copying that to another phone via my computer, it doesn't back up any of the app data at all! Just seems to install the app as though it were a new apk. Not at all what I wanted and complete waste of money
Once i figured it all out it works great. BTW if you read the description you will see this "Note: If your phone is not rooted the app will be limited in some features." So don't give a bad review if you cant read the whole description and see that it, like all backup programs, WILL require ROOT access to do some stuff. And JRummy does have a free version to try it out.
Had some issues with other backup apps (Titanium) and their usefulness with text backups (including text photos). This app not only backs app all my apps easily, but the text messages are 100% intact as well. I've used it from 4.4 through to 5.1.1 and have gone through multiple clean rom installs in between. Hasn't skipped a beat ever.
Suddenly can no longer do backups. Goes through process and then says it failed, and it did. Used titanium back up for years. Since I like to ROM need a good back up program and Titanium stopped working so I switched awhile back. Going to try Titanium again hopefully they got of together again.
Would like a refund. Bought this because I thought it would let me backup my Nexus 5 to the cloud since it doesn't have an SD card. But then I learn the backup to cloud feature only works if my phone is rooted. I was trying to avoid the need to root my phone. Wouldn't have bought it if I'd known.
DO NOT TRUST THIS APP! Purchased the app to back up messages. Backed up to my Dropbox. Then reset my phone and tried to restore. Only then did I get a message that my phone had to be rooted. Now I have to choose between voiding warranty on my phone and spending time and money to root phone to get messages. Developer unresponsive. Have left 2 emails, no reply. No support line. If there are others out there with the same issues perhaps we should consider a class action against this developer.
This is a very nice backup app. I've been using it for years. EDIT! Found out it is possible to batch backup/restore JUST apps or data. It isn't in the batch options though. You have to select multiple apps on the main display using the check boxes. This gives you more options. Still wish to see these in the batch options.
Installed 'free' version 1st. App looked promising so I paid for the full version cause some options weren't available on 'free version. Then it says device needed to be 'rooted'. According to other apps that check to see if you're device is rooted, I'm told my tablet is rooted, but still will not allow me to perform many functions cause it still says device is not rooted. By the time I found this out it was too late to get a refund. Originally purchased app to backup my apps and data so I didn't have to start games over every time I had to reset my tablet. Also constantly getting mssg that app has stopped when ever I try to restore apps and data. Also when I try to contact the company about these issues nobody will get back to me. So support is in the toilet. Again don't waste your money.
I have rooted my phone and regularly use titanium saw this app and the UI looked good hence bought it doesn't work doesn't restore data just says failed tried several times dose not restore user dictionary WiFi settings or Bluetooth pairings nothing works useless piece of junk do not buy need refund.
There should be an accompanied help or glossary of terms. Freeze is not clearly explained anywhere. Does it freeze the app from updating or freeze it from opening? Is there any possible danger or consequence of doing this. I just gave your app root access to my device and you can't tell me - what actions do what - on my phone? Seriously? Freeze has a confirmation window to ask if I'm sure. No I'm not sure about this app at all.
After a while getting it to start a backup, it ran for around 5 seconds and then came with the message "Failed backing up apps" and no further explanations. Tried a number of ways around with the same result and tried emailing with no response. Would like a refund.
Backup to cloud hangs forever for s single app. Backup to local storage flashes some dialog and does nothing. Disappointed - missed refund window by a hair. Do not buy! Also, I do not root my devices (work account requirement) - no documentation on what is and is not possible without root - "some feature will not work" is not a documentation. Documentation is a list of either what works, or a list of what does not work. Crap!
My phone became low on memory after/while using this app...accumulating to an amount of 400-700mb of ram and i only have 800+ of mb ram...and without root, app data backup doesnt apply even when the option for it is checked.
I paid for the premium version, backed up my phone then restored it after resetting it to factory. Said it restored all my SMS, but not one was restored. Also lost all data from one of my apps which I use daily and now have to start from scratch. Not impressed in the slightest!
May be the fastest backup ever!!! Not sure if it's reading my backups from my other app or reading it's own. Will update when I have more time to assess if it's working correctly or not. Note: It crashed on once hope it doesn't do it again ðŸ˜
