Sprite Backup Android App Review

There is a lot of info that is stored in our mobile phones, which is susceptible to permanent loss if the phone dies on you. Apple’s iPhone does a backup every time the user connects to iTunes. But with Android devices, you don’t have such a luxury. True, you could store some info in Google’s own Gmail, Contacts or Calendar. But there are other information, such as photos, videos and text messages, which are at risk if your Android gadget suddenly ceases to function or you lose your handset somewhere forever.

It is in such a premise that Sprite Backup app extends you a helping hand. While it may not be a total savior, the mobile application still give you some much needed features as far as backing up of data and information is concerned. In its present form, the app covers pretty much everything on your Android gadget, which includes application data, web bookmarks, call logs, videos, music files, text messages, and even your basic system configuration.

Later on, restoring the data is also a cake walk, as it does not require the user to trawl through an assortment of options and menus. It can be done by simply tapping on the relevant option on the Android screen. And yes, if you’re restoring the data to a completely wiped phone, you need to install Sprite Backup app for Android again to set things going.

Drawback

If it can be called a drawback, Sprite Backup only let one create backup into the phone memory or the phone’s SD card. This implies that once you’ve done with the restoration of data, you are further expected to copy it to an external location and keep it safe. Feature wise, Sprite Backup could have incorporated an option to save data online. Hope the app developers will consider this aspect when they upgrade the existing application, especially considering the fact that some of the rival apps already offer this feature.

Conclusion

If you can still manage with this minor shortcoming, we recommend Sprite Backup to all the Android users. Utility wise, the app is certainly a valuable addition to your repertoire of Android apps. After all, who knows when your phone is going to malfunction, and you’re no more able to access your stored information. The app is priced at $4.99/license.
