Neo Backup

Your open-source tool to backup your apps … and their data

New in version 8.0.2

This is a hot-fix-release (of the hot-fix-release) as an unintended release was put couple of weeks ago.
It fixes the unintended release's issues and function reliably but still comparably laggy as Compose still doesn't provide the best performance and a true release would take much. Till then, here's some highlights:
* Update: New update format (The app still support older ones)
* Fix: All A12 issues on v7
* Add: Backup/restore given permissions
* Update: Less manual refresh is needed
* Fixed:

Make and restore backups of apps on your device and save app data to a user-accessible location. Supports backing up and restoring single or multiple apps.
