## Review summary

Pros: Local backups to the device, easy-to-use interface, long-standing reliability, and feature-rich options (migration, SD card, send-to-PC). Cons: Updates break functionality on newer Android versions (notably Android 16), missing New Backup, permission prompts issues, and UI cutouts obscuring controls. Additional concerns: unresponsive developers and a sense of abandonment with few updates or security fixes. Overall, strong history and utility are undermined by breakages and maintenance gaps that hurt current usability.

### Pros

- Local backups to the device are supported.
- Easy-to-use interface.
- Long-standing reliability and usefulness over the years.
- Feature-rich options including migration, SD card support, and sending backups to a PC.
- Valued as a lifesaver for data restoration when devices fail.

### Cons

- Updates break functionality on newer Android versions (notably Android 16) with the New Backup option missing.
- Unresponsive or absent developer support; reports of no replies.
- UI and permission issues on newer Android (permission prompts, fullscreen/camera cutout blocking controls, layout problems).
- Perceived abandonment with few or no updates or security fixes.
