SCAM! DO NOT PAY!

I was looking for a way to backup my older iPhone to move everything to a newer model and didn't want to use the slow iCloud of iTunes, so I tried the demo of FoneDog. It created a backup file pretty quickly that included all my data (photos, contacts settings, EVERYTHING). Then to restore that file into the new phone they require you buy a license for $29.99. To just be done with the whole process I gave in and paid for it to move everything to my new phone.

BUT after buying then they tell you that the program can only restore Contacts- no pictures or anything else their demo backed up in the file, making the file useless and them tricking people into paying $30.

When I asked for a refund they showed me some buried small print writing that said all of this that no one would ever find and they get my money.

DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE. Just use iTunes.

Incompatible with most androids and will not refund your money under most circumstances. Not sure...
