I used this app to backup my phone before flashing a new ROM. It seemed to backup the apps and their data, however when I restored them on the new system (same device), none of them would open. I tried clearing the storage for the apps to put them in "freshly installed" condition, and they still didn't work. Lastly, I uninstalled the apps, reinstalled them for the source and restored the backup app data, and they still didn't work. It failed to restore the apps or data.

My how the mighty have fallen. This once awesome app no longer functions at the thing it needs to do most - restoring. Your backup will work fine and you'll think you're covered, then when you go to restore, approximately one in seven apps will freeze Titanium Backup. The app never recovers and needs to be force closed. Then start again, deselecting all the apps that have caused it to freeze so far. This has been a problem for the past year. Many people have reported it, yet the coders have done nothing to address the issue. They blame old versions of Busybox in their FAQ, which is NOT the cause. A backup app that can't restore should have negative stars - even zero is too high a rating - because it gives you false hope that your backup will work when you go to restore when in fact it doesn't. Sadly this app appears to be abandoned by the coders.

Still can't backup to PC easily after all these years... Very very baffling to me, and the UI is still very dated. I think it needs to be added now more than ever since phones are mandatory encryption and a PC version the app would be very nice. Hasn't improved in any matter in the past few years. I had to back up my phone on very short notice and it didn't backup my texts. It had some crucial memories and stuff from when my grandmother passed, and the app restore process has been like pulling teeth. You're fired. There are much better solutions out there nowadays.
