Works fantastically... It just doesn't do exactly what i wanted it to and thought that it did. "Android to Android" app sync is not a live application synchronization feature. It is a manual app by app feature instead of a "when the data changes on one sync it to the other" kind of thing. This is what I am mainly hoping for and look forward to in the future. Otherwise it does what it says has fantastic sync/backup and restore features similar to titanium backup. For some reason though it has some apps labeled as backup disabled.

I really like it, if a little limited Easiest backup app i have ever used. Definitely worth the upgrade. Only complaint is it couldn't back up some of my apps. It said it was because the app developers wouldn't allow backups, but Titanium handled them without issue so I don't know. Without a doubt the best no root option though.

Genius! The N7(2012) is basically our son's, but of course I rooted it. Recently I followed Android Police's, instructions for updating to 4.3, and of course I returned it to full stock. Little people are so curious, you know. So, I'm a little concerned cause I backed up some of his games with Helium while rooted, is the unroofed restore gonna work? Wonderful though, I installed the windows Helium helper and restored complete. Thanks to Koush, I'm not on my four year olds naught list. :-)

Don't buy it Had been using the free version happily for the last couple months with no problem. Paid for this to support the developer, and now it won't work at all. Repeatedly asks me to enable it (even though I don't turn off my device) every backup of every app gives me an error message, and reinstalling the app on my device and desktop made no difference. What had been a great app is now completely useless

Whao... One of its kind It is able to backup & restore app data of my apps without root permission (The app is only one of its kind). I just need to connect & disconnect with PC over USB once after device reboot. As I rarely reboot my devices, it's not a big sacrifice for such a big feature. What I loved most: App Data sync across devices. Superb work, man!

A mixed bag This app is great, when it works. Which is about half of the time. I used it to transfer the progress of the games I play to new devices. Some of my games don't backup, but I've learned to live with this limitation. The last straw, however, came recently when I bought a OnePlus One. I cannot get neither the Windows companion app nor the Linux one to enable backup for this device. I've decided to uninstall it. I might use it again in the future if the developer gets it to work 100% reliably (that is, with all my devices and all my apps), but I'm not holding my breath.

It worked... Then it stopped Tried to recently backup game data (past successful backup was about 45 days ago) and nothing happened. It would say backup in progress but it doesn't work anymore. Please fix. This has been the only backup app that I've found so far that works for me and I really don't want to look for another app. (Samsung galaxy note 4 - tmobile)

Really good Really good. I like the intetface quite a bit . Its relatively simple to setup but alot of steps . It would be nice have a clearer idea what it is doing .The first time I tried it said "banking" all night I cancelled in the morning. Im not sure what it was doing but it wasnt using any data on my moble or through my router it worked fine aftrer that.

Excellent, only if you use drop box Does a great job backing up to the cloud but could only get Drop Box to work with it. Would rather have used Google or have gone device to device via Wi Fi. While the software offers a sync function between devices it would not work between my LG G3 and my Samsung Note 3.

After hours of tweaking, finally finished It took several hours of finding the correct drivers for each phone, getting them recognized through the app on the computer, and doing several restores (Helium app would stall out every dozen apps or so). Eventually, I got the majority of my apps installed, but it certainly wasn't a simple process. Google needs to make this sort of feature into Android.

Superb app Completely worth the price. Enabled me to transfer to a new phone, whilst taking my apps with me. Normally I go for just downloading them all again, but the facility to transfer all the app data is amazing. Kept all my game progress, and login details for others. For non rooted, you need a computer on hand to enable it, but that's a limitation on android, so I have no beef with that.

Excellent and fast app that easily does backups of the data that Google doesn't. Doesn't require root to accomplish this! I'm not sure why this app has gotten so many negative reviews as I have been using it for years with many different devices. In addition to backing up data locally and to Google Drive I also use this excellent app to sync data between my Samsung S6 and my Samsung Tab S2.

DOES NOT WORK..SAVE YOUR MONEY I am very experienced with computers and phones being a service tech, This app just does not work. It managed to make a backup(So it said) It took me 3 hours to get restore to run. The Cloud method is the only one that actually connects. When it was done "restoring" NONE of my old apps were on the new phone..

There are some apps like whatsapp and netflix that do not work with this app. Not the fault of the developer i know but it would be better if we knew that before getting to the backup screen. Truth be told i only really downloaded thos app to save my whatsapp messages. However, the apps that it is compatible with, it transfers over without too much of a problem

Works perfectly Galaxy Note 4 --> Galaxy Note 5. Needed to transfer a few apps to my new phone l that do not have cloud sync or a way to backup the data workout root. Since the AT&T Note 4 and Note 5 cannot be rooted, without this app, I would have lost all of my data between the phones. Transferred via Dropbox and this app flawlessly. Thank you! !!

Not impressed Bought this to back up my apps contacts text pics ect. While i updated my cell and it does not work as intended at all it confirmed all my saved files but when i went to restore yup i guessed it nothing could not find the files great lost important text pics and other great stuff thanks to this amazing app. Great potential but fails miserably to deliver.

Best I've found The only decent app I've found that backups actual appdata without root access. It supports a lot of different options for saving your data. The pc activation is just a limitation of Android so I don't really care. Used it several times now to start fresh on both my nexus as cm12 device. On both devices it hasn't made a single error yet. Really satisfied, recommend buying the pro version

Works great! Moved data from one Galaxy Nexus to another, as well as to a OnePlus One. OPO requires the following changes to the Helium instructions: #1. install Helium Backup extension to the Chrome browser on Windows 7 desktop, then connect Android devices to PC via USB data cable. #2. Install the Samsung adb Drivers from the Helium website onto Windows 7 to provide USB support for the OPO.

Won't backup automatically Wanted it to automatically backup my preferences at midnight every night. However, on my S7 using a wireless charger, it won't do so because it says that the phone is not charging because it's actually fully charged. I can turn off the "backup only while charging" but then that will back up even if the battery is low. It also offers to remember a group of apps for which I want to backup preferences but then there is no way of automatically recalling this for the backup.

Great app Google's "automatic backup" of app data works about half the time for me. In the past helium backup worked consistently. But now, it works about half the time. The whole magic autofill of desktop password seems mostly broken, and it seems like pop-up dialogs are often hidden behind done other screen. It still kind-of works though.

Works like a charm Backup app data without root. One limitation is it backs up ALL data for an app. This is an issue where, e.g. an app itself is 25mb, but requires an additional 200mb of download - common for games. Say you just want to backup your save files, even if the save file is just a few kb, you have to backup the other downloaded 200mb as well.

Indispensable I love this app. Backed up my game saves and was able to transfer them to my new device - all without root access. Update: Something has broken with backup to google drive. It says that the backups are successful, but the files on google drive are not getting replaced with updated versions. The dates on the files are not changing. Is this a new bug? My last successful updates to google drive were on June 22, 2014. Looks like the latest update fixes google drive issues.

Helium is a breath of fresh air! Yes...Pun intended. Just picked up a new Galaxy Tab 4. Never one for rooting, I just plugged it into my computer once and started restoring from my Note 3. And still works with my old Motorola Xoom. Definitely worth paying for Premium version.

Great for saving game data on phones! I was getting a new phone when I needed to save some data from my games but nothing would allow it. I even needed it for Subway Surfers which is a game that does not have cloud save so I wanted to save my high scores. I got this app and it really helped. The only con is that you need to connect it to your computer everytime you need to use it.

A Must Have for Nonrooted Phones This app is a lifesaver. You can backup the data and/or the app of what you have installed on your phone. It takes careful installation and it doesn't work on all phones. So read the information about the app and try the free version first. Their support is fantastic too. My question was answered in 4 hours. It doesn't get much better.

Helium updates please I absolutely love the cloud backup and restore with premium however I do have some recommendations (1) Doesnt backup apps samsung bundles part of the rom Please resolve.(2) I really wish there is a way to backup account & settings. (3) Also i cannot restore or backup to & from SD directly. (4) ability to save helium app groups (I flash my device frequently & I don't want to reconfigure app groups everytime). I thank the developer as I'm closer to stress free android backup without root

Awesome! This app works great, my only wish is that backup groups on one device could be seen by another device for faster selection and restoration process, other than that I love it! Also, not all of my apps get their data restored using helium no matter what method (SD card or cloud) will change back to five stars when this is fixed.

HTC One S to Nexus 5 I bought this app for one reason only: to transfer my save files of Final Fantasy (3, 4, 5) from my HTC One S to my new Nexus 5 without root access. It worked perfectly and easily. Took less than 10 minutes. Great job to the devs! P.S. Shame on SquareEnix for not allowing file sync or cloud storage for their apps. It results in users having to resort to other options.

Amazing! I had been using the free version without any issues. But because it's saved me so many times, it was only fair to spend the few dollars to support it and purchase it. Thanks for an awesome app! Would be good if you could add features like T.B to freeze apps ;) then it would be the ultimate. Unfortunately you cannot delete backups from your cloud like Google drive .. Loses a star for me.

Awesome app Got it to transfer from my rooted galaxy s ii on kit Kat, to my note 3 on lollipop. It worked great. I think it was able to transfer all the things I needed. Thanks a lot! EDIT: the only thing it didn't move across, as far as I can see, we're my Kindle books. But it did transfer the settings so I just had to download some books.

Buggy, Excludes Apps Required closing with task manager and restarting many times to effectuate transfer over wifi between devices. Couldn't get copy to p.c. to work. Didn't allow selection of backup directory or placement on ext. SD card. Excludes several downloaded apps for some reason. Will give it a + for copying app data.

Can use some big improvements 1. Please add support for Copy, the best cloud storage option. 2. Whenever I try and backup all my apps to Box, it constantly crashes and gives me errors 3. There's needs to be a quick setting for backing up all your apps to the cloud. Making a scheduled backup is nice, but it seems to be limited by the apps I have installed at the time of creating the scheduled backup. What happens if I create a scheduled backup for all my current apps today, and then tomorrow download a new app. Helium won't back it up.

Very useful I always wanted to back up my games app data, and hated to lose all the data and start over again. With this app not only back up game data, it back up pictures, messages etc. The best thing is that you don't need to use your personal storage for back up it use you cloud storage of preference. I use Google drive. Any way love it, love it. I have an idea for the future, create something that we can use multiple accounts (Family) up to 3 accounts.

Annoying at times. How many times does this app expect me to verify? With Nexus 5 I can't verify in windows. Seriously make something that easy to use by the end user. After enabling this is the best backup app I've come across for android, until you have to do it all over again. Grrrr!

Seems to be limited to popular brands I have issues with the drivers available. Android yes, but not popular brands as Samsung, Sony, etc. These brands already have their own backup systems. The reason for choosing to pay for this app, is simple. In my case I have a Caterpillar S50 and a Hisense S20 King Kong 2. So I'm left alone again for not being a mainstream consumer. Sorry, but I have to ask for a refund till you can give me a solution to my needs.

Simple and Just Works™ It has just enough features to be useful without getting overly complex, and the cloud sync is wonderful. Haven't had much luck with Google Drive but Box works a treat! Working both rooted and not is also very nice.

Does Good, but needs minor improvements Really wish it could do Nook HD (not reflected in star rating). Errors or during backups and restores, but eventually finishes. It's nice to not have to worry about losing my data when I switch phones or do a reset

Awesome Does what it says and does it well. I recommend the app to everyone I know. It sometimes has errors but more often than not it works perfectly. I can play games on my note 2 and after a quick sync using this app pick up right where I left off on my nexus 7.

Perfect, quite difficult setup for non-rooted device Well, it was difficult to setup backup, mainly due to non-rooted device, Samsung restrictions of USB mass storage device and missing drivers (SIII). Instructions given by Helium were helpful and finally I got the function - I migrated my apps with non-cloud data to a new phone. Connecting ZOPO 980+ was very easy. Worth that money and effort.

It actually works! How awesome is that?! I tried so many other data backup apps, and this seems this is the only one that actually works. To be clear: I have *non rooted* Nexus 4 and 5, and I am able to migrate my app data (save games, text messages, etc) from one device to the other. This is just awesome! If there's any justice in the world, try the app and then give the developers their well earned 3 fiddy :D Seriously though, the free version works as well, but if you need cloud backup to migrate, you need to pay for the Premium version. But, like I said, it's absolutely worth it because it actually *works*.
