How come this is for Android phones and the system requirement is for Windows?!?
System Requirements: Windows NT/ 2000/ 2003/ XP/ Vista/ 7/ 8/ 10 (x32/x64); Processor: 1GHz Intel/AMD processor or above; RAM: 256MB RAM (512MB or above recommended); Free Hard Disk: 10 MB of free space

I see no use for today's offering when WonderShare's MobileGo PC & Android apps
...not only do what iPubSoft does but also does so much more...at half the price!
That's my personal solution.

Disclosure: No...this is not a shameless plug for WonderShare, which is a developer that has provided MobileGo and many other first-rate software titles at GOATD over the years.

I see mainly three types of software here on an almost everyday basis; phone data recovery apps, system optimizers, and photo re-touching apps. That having been said, I work from home as a freelance developer and technical support specialist, and I've been developing a time-tracking application to keep track of customer details and most importantly, my billable time. I would like to see more business oriented software at GOATD, so I'm thinking I might do a GiveAway for my time tracker once it's finished (likely in January). What I'd really like to know in advance before going to the trouble of packaging it for GAOTD, is just how many people here might be interested in that kind of software? I know there's a zillion web-based time tracking apps on the web (some of them free), but I feel they lack flexibility in their design and I don't feel comfortable storing sensitive details like contact information and login credentials on the web. A couple of the stand-alone apps I've looked at are either overkill for what I need or require too many steps to launch even a simple timer. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Quite frankly, there is no need even to worry about data loss from an android smartphone.
Firstly, as mentioned before, regardless whom you got mail or messages from, just send them onto your GMail account. Pics and any other documents can be easily sent onto dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive or whoever you trust.
Secondly, to communicate with the Windows PC, I can fully recommend to give "AirMore" by airmore.com a try - or use that very clever file manager HD by Cheetah Mobile (Google Play) which under its tools section also offers the facility of WiFi connection through browser. Neither of these two tools go outside your own private network. With Airmore the connection is made by scan identification from PC screen to mobile and with file manager HD a kind of local file transport protocol is set up, which can be saved conveniently as a link in your PC browser for next time use.

btw: whatever we get here nowadays is either of very limited use or just so outdated that most freeware easily beats it or sharewareonsale.com (remember Ashraf? runs the joint) offers the useful stuff. What's more, you do get one reasonably unbiased appraisal of pros and cons at Ashraf's site.

It seems to me that a tool such as this would work best with two components, one running on the Android phone and another running on the host machine, be it Windows, Linux, or other system. These two parts would run in tandem, communicating with each other. Perhaps the host could ask the phone to send it all the data and then store it all as the user desires.

The trouble is that I don't suppose most users would want to have to download and install two software packages.

Surely all of the contacts on an Android device are automatically backed up in the gmail account and who cares about old SMS anyway.

With a 69% approval rating, I was expecting at least one positive comment. Odd. There are none. Makes you wonder about the "new and improved" ratings we've been seeing here lately.
