Review summary

Reviews consistently praise Stardew Sync for easy cross-device save transfer and backups, with the added benefit of an editing feature and straightforward setup. However, recurring login/authentication loops, Android storage permission and directory access problems (notably on Android 13), and device compatibility messages like 'Stardew Valley isn’t installed' hamper reliability. Some users also encounter loading or syncing stalls. When it works, it’s a lifesaver for moving progress between devices, but the frequent issues limit consistent use.

Pros

Reliable cross-device save transfer/sync, allowing Stardew Valley progress to move between phones/tablets.
Provides peace of mind with backups of saves and protection against data loss.
Very easy to use and set up, described by users as a no-brainer.
Editing feature for saves adds convenient control over game data.

Cons

Persistent login/authentication failures and loops prevent syncing.
Storage permission and app-directory access issues, especially on Android 13, making it hard to grant or locate save files.
False detection that Stardew Valley isn’t installed on the device, blocking syncing on some devices.
Not syncing or loading slowly — getting stuck on the loading screen without progress.

2024-11-10	Br*****	I think this would be great but I can't seem to do anything with it. I can't find the save file see a to me it should just know where it is Does your phone need to be rooted to have it work?

2023-07-02	L *****	Worked Flawlessly! This app is an absolute no-brainer to use and now I can continue progressing with the save file from my old device on my new one. Love the editing feature. Excellent app.

2023-06-11	Sa*****	Hi, I believe that this app is amazing. The problem is, it keeps telling me that "Looks like Stardew Valley isn't installed on this device." I'll give 5 stars once that issue is fixed. I'm not a programming expert, but I suspect there might have been something to do with some devices' unavailability for data storage access permission.

2023-05-18	Ch*****	It used to work perfectly but now.. it doesn't because of Android 13 not letting ppl choose the app directory :( Please fix it!! This app is the only way to sync my farm across my device

2023-03-15	Sa*****	This app gives me a LOT of peace of mind considering my tendency to lose and/or break phones. Are there any plans to update to allow 1.5 mobile files to be uploaded to the cloud? Will definitely bump up to five stars if so-- I'd like to keep Ginger Island if I have to get a new device soon! (Thanks for a great app either way!)
