Pretty smart app, I wonder why it took nine years, or six, whenever android started to really take off, to do it. I would also like to know why they don't apply this sort of engineering talent to creating a phone back up when Apple tells users that they must do a complete wipe of the phone and may not back up their data and restore it because of some corruption. It would seem that this sort of application would really make that process a lot less painful.

I hope it doesn't require one of the latest Android OS as we have learned nobody has them installed currently
It requires 4.0 or later, which according to the most recent Android User breakdown places it somewhere around 95% of users will be able to use the app. I know how this site likes to perceive the fragmentation, but these numbers are pretty solid.
They already have, it's iOS 7 running on an iPhone 4. They really did a great job to simulate the frustrating lagginess of Android.
Woah look at the reviews on the app from the Android brigade. They're making a fool out of themselves.
Touche! Very true. I have an older iPhone 4 that I was as an iPod / Pandora player, dear God it is slow! It was a mistake putting iOS 7 on iPhone 4, but I guess they had to because they were still selling iPhone 4 (for like 3 months)They already have, it's iOS 7 running on an iPhone 4.
