Ratings and reviews

OUTSTANDING! FAST! ACCURATE! ------- No more need for troublesome & inaccurate Google contact syncing!------- This application does its job perfectly every, single time. ------------It is small, so if you have little storage on the phone, it's a very good choice. (It can be on the SD card, too.) I like how amazingly easy it is to figure out and use. Some apps are quite a project to learn- not this one. And it is FAST! It backed up my bazillion contacts in less than a minute. Then it was polite enough to ask me where it should be sent for safe keeping. ------------ Several days after I installed this, my phone had a brain attack and required transplant surgery. I did not want to use Google synced contacts for a restore because it is always missing some and many are corrupt or missing data. So, I sent my phone an e-mail with the MCBackup I kept on my computer, double clicked it and in less than one minute all of my contacts were back. None were missing nor corrupted. For fun, I made a new backup, nuked the contacts list & tried again. Perfect! Thank You Globile for creating this application and for providing it for us to enjoy!

This worked great for years and I had given it 5 stars. About a month ago, it quit working. As it was loading, it displayed a pop-up with 2 options, Stop the app or Send feedback. I sent feedback numerous times...to no response. I uninstalled and re-installed numerous times but it didn't help. 😕 This is very simple to use and backs up more contact data fields than others I've tried. BUT, it does not backup groups and worse, does not backup the group data field in the contact.

I have more than 400 contacts and this app backs them up quickly and easily. Update: My phone died suddenly last April but fortunately I had an identical unused phone in storage. I got my provider to activate it on my existing account and got up and running again fairly easily. I did lose some data but everything that I had backed up with MC Backup was safe. Unfortunately, MC Backup has recently quit working on my phone - the app stops when I launch it. Now looking for a fix or a replacement.
