There are a lot of great apps out there, but not every great app can be a looker.
For that reason, these apps may not necessarily haveallthe same features.
We want well-designed apps that make their core functionality more accessible.
That also means that, in all categories,both apps are great.
But if you’re looking for a simpler version of an app without the mess, try our alternatives.
We even based ourAndroid backup guideon it.
The interface, however, is almost NASA-like with the sheer volume of buttons and toggles strewn about.
The Alternative: Helium
Famed developer Koush created a full backup solution calledHelium.
It allows you to create full backups of your apps, or just partial backups with your data.
The biggest advantage is that Helium does not require root.
you’ve got the option to select all apps with just a couple taps.
you could do the same thing with Titanium, but it’s a little messier.
Automation
The Incumbent: Tasker
Tasker isa Lifehacker favorite.
However, Tasker is notoriously difficult for even tech-savvy people to learn.
That doesn’t mean automation should be out of reach for the masses.
It’s not always the easiest to understand.
There are a lot of buttons for fine-tuned control, but not everything is straightforward.
The Alternative: Greenify
To be fair, Greenify is pretty popular, too.
However, its advantage in the UI department is in how it explains itself to users.
If it were only that it’s less attractive, that would be fine.
On top of this, it has a couple arguable advantages overour usual favorite.
It’s mildly less convenient, but considerably more secure.
