Long, arduous & incomplete. Another tech letdown. Despite copy to New device allegedly being complete per the app, one of the first apps I attempted to access was missing and not included in the copy. Edit: Dev response appreciated. Completed transfer the old way without app. More granular control over what is copied to new device & more useful info/recovery in case of issue during switch might be useful. I used to test apps, so my expectations might differ.

BUGGY! Read "About this app" 4🗝info! I installed this on an old phone it supports based on the brand+Android versions it claims to support. Charged phones. Samsung USB cable. It started and ran but it didn't transfer my apps. It rebooted & updated fully. It said it'd transfer Brave, DuckDuckGo and Google's Files, Voice and Keep apps as well. TOTAL FAIL. I even have screenshots of what it said it would transfer. Ran again and it PICKED UP WHERE IT LEFT OFF. Says DONE but till no settings xfer.
