Ratings and reviews

This app saved me after SEVERAL hours of searching for a way to copy my Google Drive backup data from my old phone to my new phone without having to factory reset it again. Wasn't able to restore my data at first because I didn't have access to WiFi but Google allows absolutely no way to do so after the fact. Not to mention the backup feature itself doesn't work unless you disable lock screen security/smart lock on your phone. But a random forum pointed me here and it worked beautifully. Thanks!

This is my favorite app across all categories, well this and setedit22 database editor by 4a. Not once have I experienced any bugs while using this app, keeping in mind that not all activities are launchable per device. If you have trouble than this type of app is above you. It has worked perfectly on several devices I have owned, but of course i have not owned them all. So if it doesn't meet your expectations, uninstall or get a new Android.

overall, this app is great! the UI is simple, and everything is seamless for me as a developer. I do have a request tho. could you make the app loading deferred or async? it would help avoid waiting a whole minute every time I open it. a possible fix is to list all the apps on launch and only load specific app activities when the dropdown is opened. i also suggest considering about caching the list. hope you can fix this. still giving it 5 stars!
