Disappointment

### 1/5 — Есть баг

*2026-02-23*

Все контакты не может скопировать, только в режиме ручного выбора - замучаешься тыкать-выбирать.

### 1/5 — Didn’t do anything

*2025-12-15, version 2.0.4*

I tapped the “Create Backup” button as directed, granted permission, chose “All Contacts”, and … nothing happened.  No new backup or archive, no new file created, no error message or log entries, nothing.  What now?

### 1/5 — Fake

*2025-10-09, version 2.0.4*

No enviable el correo

### 1/5 — SCAM - Don’t Download

*2025-08-27, version 2.0.4*

After payment the app does nothing. Take this app off the store.

### 1/5 — Does noting

*2025-08-17, version 2.0.4*

As the title says it does nothing

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-10-26, version 2.0.4*

This app does not work. You have to have an account to store the backup on a cloud. The flow will take your money off you and then when you try to set up the account it is impossible to do so. You just get a message saying “The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format”

### 1/5 — Not able to create an account

*2024-07-01*

Tried many times
