- Doesn't work on any platform with any way of backup. Does download a file using phone as local server, but it is empty for any app. Waste of time.
- Krishay
- Doesn't work at all. Dont waste your time on it
- Ybh 505

- Michael Crabtree
- It doesn't detect Oneplus 7 Pro!
- Shanna Varrichio
- Works great on unrooted Pixel XL and Pixel XL 2. I always use this app to transfer app data between devices.
- Archer
- This part does what it says... but the accompanying Android app is basically useless.
- Wamelu Kwork
- Doesnt work at all, chrome sees my device and all opened tabs
- Robert MacGillivray
- Simply doesn't work. Just grab the standalone versions instead. I have no idea why this option is the "recommended" one.
- Johanna S.
- doesn't even open anymore
- Greg Drummond
- Didn't work. Use the Windows app instead.
- Jacek Rosankiewicz
- it does not work . download links are dead

- Just check if adb works in command line first. Once it does, this app works just fine. Many users down-rate this app because of connectivity issues with adb (which isn't the Apps fault), backup issues (which is often OEMs fault - looking at you, Sony) or limitations relative to root enabled backup (which is what it is - if you have root, use something else). Helium just provides an easier way to do adb backups and it does it well, but don't expect any magic beyond the limitations of adb.
- Jason Silvery
- Dosen't work on many apps as they cannot be backed up.
- Allan Phillips
- Doesn't always work, but it usually does and then it's a godsend.
- Kurt
- A very good solution for people who do not have their devices rooted, but unfortunately it has not been updated since 2016

- waiting for device
- Gary Volk
- Does not work. Clockworkmod apps are SOOOO overrated. Never found one that actually works.
- Ricardo Estrada
- ok
- Piero Wosgien
- once installed with drivers etc it still not works and just wait for device also if already connected. don't use this app
- AzKat
- This does NOT work with newer devices. It gets stuck on the "turn on USB PTP mode", did that, restarted phone, did everything I could, tried turning it on and off repeatedly, nothing happened, the app simply wouldn't connect to either the browser helium extension OR the windows version. TL;DR waste of time, do not install this abandonware.

- Downloaded Extension & App On My OnePlus 3T. Does not recognize device.
- Ahmed Shehata

- Philip Wroblewski
- Was difficult to get working. Then with these instructions, worked fine on 2 different devices. Recommended: http://merryquest.blogspot.co.nz/2014/12/use-helium-backup-on-motorola-phones.html
- Grant Newman
- backup error everytime. completely useless
- wolfgang lawrence
- same as rest: win10+chrome and android latest in 4/18. i got my moto g5 to connect after installing driver and helium backup plugin to chrome, listed haf of my apps that on a good day it would be unable to backup at all (so if app worked it would amount to a 50% solution), then it bombed out totally when it tried to run the backup 6-7 different times. doesnt work. need 95% solution. and finally after installing this and that, new drivers, rebooting, trying to figure it out, it turns out hidden in the fine print i found it doesn't work at all with motorola devices. thanks for not putting that note front/center in bold red. you suck for not doing so.

- did not work.
- Petr Mikulík (dexterdd)
- No problem, works exactly as the desktop app. Tested on (old) Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android 4.1.2) and Nexus 6p (Android 8.1.0). Even backups from SGS3 worked on the N6. Good job

- Moto G4 Plus on Win10, worked fine through Chrome, so far!! Some Apps wouldn't back up, bank, dating apps, can see why though.
- Alexander Voronkoff
- Ubuntu 16.04: once: sudo apt install adb every time: adb devices

- It was working on my Nexus 6, however any subsequent uses have failed. My backup password is blank, yet it keeps asking for the password; so the upload to Google Drive fails. Really disappointing because I need to factory reset my phone. I agree, with other users, I want a refund.
- Damjan Turk
- App doesn't work. Mobile: Zopo F5 - Android - installed app -reboot doesn't help. Keep asking "Enable USB debugging" ... "Enable PTP USB connection" ... although all set. Desktop: Win 7 - installed app - reboot doesn't help.
- Orion Shock
- Worked for me, first time with a Nexus 6P/Win10/ChromeApp. Only had to enable USB Debugging and Authorize the computer on the phone. Took all of about 1min to setup, about 10 for the backup itself.

- Spent useless 1/2 hour trying to sync older asus tablet to S8

- Trevor Haak
- Was eating up all of my CPU in chrome!

- Usage: Win10, via Chrome APP, Samsung S4 (stock v4.4.2), Samsung S6 (stock v7) Follow the instructions and ensure you have the latest ADB drivers. For ADB installation,I followed : https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/ Connect phone to PC via a USB DATA cable, then test from PC command line using : adb devices This must show device and then you must allow access from your phone. If device isn't connected via ADB, this APP won't work, so don't blame developer. Launch APP on your PC and Phone. Follow instructions on your phone and ensure you successfully enable USB Debugging (through Settings=>Developer Options(if you don't have it, click 7 times on Build Number in About Device) and PTP. If you don't enable these, the PC to Phone connection won't be made. It should then connect. Through no fault of developer, some phone apps don't allow it access. Otherwise this app works well.

- Wouldn't connect with my S7 Edge. I tried everything on the FAQ pages (multiple). Never connected with the phone.

- Doesn't work, requires me to set a backup password but won't accept it.
- Bani Perdana
- unable ptp mode
- Alexander B
- Its such a mission to get it connected everytime, takes 15 minutes of troubleshooting. Piece of junk app
- Daniel Kunkel
- This thing didn't do a thing. Waste of time. Also, I don't see a way to remove this from Chrome. It is stuck here forever wasting RAM and disk space.

- Doesn't work, "waiting for device"
