Úžasný a jednoduchý program

### 5/5 — PhoneCopy Is Indispensable

*2025-02-02, version 5.5*

Everyone needs reliable backup for their Contracts. PhoneCopy is a critical app to secure your data.

### 1/5 — All my contacts got deleted

All my contacts got deleted using this app,
Please don’t use this app

### 5/5 — Nick Tight

*2022-05-21, version 5.2*

Phone Copy is great and so easy to use . Independent of all the majors which is really helpful when swapping data between different makes of phones or devices.... I’ve used them for years when things used to be an absolute nightmare whenever you bought a new phone.. well worth the few dollars to get the premium version. 👌😀suggested. I would love to store my photos with phone copy as well but haven’t found a practical way to do that with out spending data.

### 5/5 — Great app, great service

*2021-06-14, version 4.13*

I don’t write many reviews, made an exception for these guys. I’ve been using their online app for a while, it’s brilliant. I’m now using their iPhone app, it’s good too. Best of all though is their personal service if you ever need it. Can’t rate them highly enough.

### 5/5 — Simple seamless app that is worth $2/month

*2021-01-31, version 4.10*

It’s important for me to keep automatic backups of things on my phone, and I have been using this app for over a year, and never have a problem with my iPhone XS Max, & iPad. 

It works, it’s supported, and for me it’s worth $2/mo

### 5/5 — Autosync not working

*2021-01-20, version 4.10*

Am using iphone 11 and every day am getting a message saying, autosync has stopped working please start the app and that should fix it. Thats annoying. I didnt renew my subscription because of that.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2021-01-15, version 4.10*

This app will duplicate your contacts several times, then when you try to delete the duplicates you will lose some of them.
It’s O.K. to use the free version to transfer contacts to a new device, but then delete it.  Syncronising devices is a disaster.
There are better alternatives out there.

### 3/5 — gps72

*2020-11-12, version 4.10*

Aplikace je opět skvěle fungující i na iPhone 12 a to po nainstalování verze 4.10. Díky rychle reagujícímu týmu Phonecopy brzy opraveno. Skvělá apka. Díky.

### 1/5 — Synchronization

*2020-10-12, version 4.9*

Always there is a problem in the synchronization between devices (the nb on the server is different from the nb on devices)!
