### 1/5 — Kopiervorgang bricht ständig ab

*2026-04-23*

Für das Gebotene ist der Preis zu hoch. Der Kopiervorgang bricht ständig ab, sobald die App in den Hintergrund geht. Danach funktioniert die Anmeldung am NAS nicht mehr und man muss die App beenden und neu starten. Daran ändert auch das Zulassen der Life-Aktivität nichts. Ich musste die App beim Übertragen von ca. 35.000 mehr als 15 mal neu starten, weil der Vorgang immer abgebrochen ist. Habe dann genervt aufgegeben......

**Developer response:** Hello Fraubi,
The QPhotoBackup app is fully tested and the background process should be stable now. 
Please don’t hesitate to contact me (contact@qphotobackup.app) and I’m sure we will figure it out!
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Thomas

### 2/5 — This app looks like an improvement but keeps crashing on me

*2024-03-04*

Hope the Dev sees this and can reach out. I’m current unable to complete a backup as the app crashes and won’t restart. Only after restarting my phone can I get it to run, but the crash cycle repeats. Arghhh!

**Developer response:** Hello,
Please don’t hesitate to contact me (contact@qphotobackup.app) and I’m sure we will find a solution. 
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Thomas.
