I really wish there was a pause function. I spent my morning trying to do a corded transfer and it was in the last few minutes when the battery in one phone ran out. (I don't have a cordless charger.) I wish it just saved as it went, and then since you don't transfer duplicates, if someone has to stop for any reason, they can just end it, retaining what's been transferred so far, and start a new sync to transfer any remaining stuff they couldn't before.

Edit: yes, obviously I used the app with a Galaxy device on the receiving end. I definitely would not use it to transfer to another device. -- Despite the name, not very smart. It fumbles a lot and makes you do things repeatedly for no apparent reason. then best of all, it just completely fails to install apps and transfer data. They really should just use the transfer function that's built into Android. it works much better.

I'm confused. It seems like I can't use some of the normal Google data restore functions like restoring my messages, without using this app. It's never been a problem on other devices. I like the Google solution. Not sure why I would want to put all my messages into a third party app to get them from one android device to another.

Pros: Was able to restore all my files, settings, and most of my app data. Cons: Requires you to allow the connection on your old phone, which is difficult to do when your old phone is busted. And if you don't allow the connection fast enough, it will give you an error and make you start over. Some of my app data was still missing. I used the wireless option as I could not get the USB option to work at all.

Pretty good, but lacks a critical feature. I had no problem connecting via cable, and it was easy enough to transfer contacts, call history, and messages. I was able to pretty much duplicate my old phone, and that is where my major criticism comes. I want to transfer a few of my apps to the new phone, not all of them. If there is an option, it isn't very obvious. My new phone has enough bloatware, I don't want to bog it down with all my old seldom used apps too.

This app did not copy from phone to phone. It was supposed to copy one Android to another Android it did not work. There was a whole lot of telling me the phones had to be charged to a certain percentage also, they gave you the option to connect via cables or wireless. I did not have the cables so I used wireless (which is WiFi) it constantly told me that it could not connect even though both phones were connected to the same WiFi. This was a total headache I do not recommend.
