After pulling my hair out for literal hours trying a wide variety of apps and techniques to transfer my data between device versions, Swift Backup took care of it like old hat. I was skeptical as the cloud upload wasn't showing up initially (the cloud profiles "feature?" isn't very intuitive) but once I understood what I needed to do, crisis averted! This service was more than worth it.

A "backup" app whose backups can only be restored by the same proprietary app because they hold your decryption key hostage isn't a backup app at all, but a prison, and one that wants your money, at that. Thanks for wasting hours of my time. I'm glad I did my due diligence and found an open source alternative before factory resetting my device.

I migrated from Titanium Backup (which hasn't been updated in years). This app is pretty good in concept. It worked well for most apps when I recovered from a phone wipe. The big problem is that when you try to restore all apps at once, some don't restore, and this halts the process. I had to spend a long time manually restoring all my apps and skipping the ones that fail by trial and error. They need to get this working with more apps and let their app skip when it fails to restore!
