Does the job but basic
Basic does the job, but basics and not entirety reliable. Tested on iPhone only for the moment(not tested on android). Tested to backup Facebook and does the job but not as good as own FB data copy request that bundle your history and other details from your activity

Perfect for most users, but it doesn't save everything you may want
This is a fire-and-forget solution.You just plug it in between your charger and your phone and as long as you know the difference between a data a cable and a charge only cable (long story short, its about 10 pounds difference in price, unless you use the cable your phone came with!).The Qubii version I have (Duo) backs up everything on your phone while you charge. Cool; you can stop Google and all the other apps constantly backing up in the background, using up your internet and your phone battery!Except...I checked what mine actually backed up. I'm one of those people with a full DSLR and shoot RAW images, even on my phone, and I wanted to make sure it also backed up the RAWs and not just the .jpegs. It does. While I was there, I checked everything else.One thing I have on my phone is ACR (Automatic call recorder), which basically does what it suggests; records every call and stores it. I need these for certain types of caller (telling insurance scammers you record everything and next time they call, you will charge them for your time tends to ensure they call only once!), and Qubii only saves the first recording in the folder even though there are around 90 in the /ACR folder. I suspect it may be something simple (such as file name length) but the fact that Qubii fails silently is worrying.I have no 100% certain reason why this should happen, just that it doesn't work. That is not the most important issue though - its that Qubii doesn't tell me it hasn't saved some files (it fails silently) and there is no way for me to tell Qubii to save specific locations (it seems to decide what is important to backup, and as we can see, it can get confused).So, Qubii does save all the things most users will want saved (contacts, photos), but doesn't save some things that specific users may consider crucial and app specific; specialised media, fitness logs stored in odd places, etc, and there is no way to tell Qubii 'and save from this location'.I'll carry on using mine, but I'll still be physically backing up certain folders myself, which is somewhat annoying because this is the problem Qubii should be automating!

Great backup tool but expensive
This is a very easy to use back up tool. I chose this because I have so many online backup options which are always saying they are full and please pay more money. With a micro SD card it is very easy to backup my photos locally. Firstly you must have, or buy, a micro SD card and insert it into the slot. Secondly you have to download the Qubii app on the phone. The unit is plugged into a USB socket and the phone plugged in via a data USB cable. My android phone asks me if I want to allow data transfer and once approved it opens the app. The app checks for any new photos and automatically caves them to the SD card. This all works really well and I am really happy with it. I got mine on the Amazon Vine program and bought a new micro SD card, if I had payed full price I think that this is a pretty expensive (but very reliable) way to back up photos.

Effortless backup, but a bit pricey.
We take lots of pictures and videos when we travel abroad.WiFi is not available everywhere and we only have limited data plan, so cloud backup of all our precious media is not always possible.This device will come very handy once abroad travel is allowed again.To offload all photos and videos from our phones all we have to do after the app has been set up is to plug it in between the charger and the phone.I didn't measure how quick it is, but after a short while all our media were backed up when we tested it.Our phones have only limited internal memory left after all apps and games are installed, so we would be using it every day when travelling.When at home I don't really have a use for it as all our media are being backed up to the cloud automatically when we are connected to the WiFi.I wish it would come with the built-in memory, but we have plenty of large capacity micro SD cards available, so not a big problem.I am not sure I can justify the price though, even considering the good app and that it had to be developed.Overall - good, effortless way of backing up your data when Wi-Fi is not available or if for some reason you don't use the cloud backup.

Worthwhile for a beginner who wants to off-grid backup, bring your own micro SD card though
Ever wanted to backup your photos without need to store on the cloud and don't have your own NAS drive (or the inclination to set one up)? - If so, then this device could be what you wanted.First thing to note is that no micro SD card is provided, so you will need to get one of at least the capacity of your phone. They're generally cheap though with a 200GB branded card going for around £25 at the moment - however unless you have a spare one, you need to factor this into the upfront cost. I'd really recommend getting a branded one though since you want something reliable or what's the point of a backup?Once kitted up and app installed, plugging in automatically backs up your pictures and contacts. But you can configure other things too.My biggest gripe with this is that at £56 it's not cheap. Personally I've got an app which cost a few pounds and automatically backs up my phone to my NAS over the wifi at specific times of the day. Compared to that, this device suddenly looks expensive.However I can appreciate that someone who doesn't have a NAS, perhaps not super tech savvie, nor wants google/apple seeing all their photos might see this as useful. It is nice and simple, but comes at quite a price.
