This app used to work like a charm, but it simply doesn't anymore. You have a duty to people that have purchased this, and you need to either continue updating the app, or put up a discontinuation notice so people don't waste their money. Just, PLEASE do SOMETHING. Don't leave us in the dark.

Doesn't work. Trying to backup a note8. Google drive won't let me load, Dropbox won't let me load. Using the server crashes. Maybe an update world help.

Great app. The free version did what I needed, but I upgraded to premium to support further development.

I had such high hopes for this app. I needed to send a defective Pixel XL back after transferring the apps and data to the replacement phone. The backup crashed the first 3 times I tried to run it. I then selected a minimum number of apps to back up and it ran. I was so excited. I then opened the new phone and tried to restore the apps. No matter what i did, Helium said I did not have a Google account. Now tell me how you set up an android completely without a Google account. I tried uninstalling Helium and reinstalling it to no avail. It's too late for a refund, so I guess it is a failed attempt to make things easy. I'm glad to hear it worked for others. BTW, both of my phones are identical Google Pixel XL's and running Android 9.

Does not seem to work anymore. First time, I selected 12 apps, it went well and told me it had completed the backup. I checked and there were only 3 apps backed up. Imagine if I had wiped my data :( I tried again, same problem. 2 re-installs later (premium and normal app) and now it can't connect to google drive and says "backup error" with "internal storage".

I'd say this is the only backup solution you'll ever need to backup and restore apps with their DATA intact, esp when your phone is not rooted. The rest of the backup apps out there would require you to root your phone. I just have to mention though that you'll need to install both Helium's recommended Universal ADB Driver and the "Samsung USB driver for Windows" on Samsung's website for this to work, at least with the one I have (S8 & S9+ phones and my super old laptop).
