How do I transfer data to a new phone?

  1. On your old phone: Go to Menu > Backup & Restore > Select “Full Export” > Target “Internal Memory” > Press START
  2. Transfer the file to your new phone via email or USB cable (the backup is saved in the folder shown at the bottom of the screen)
  3. On your new phone: Install My Cars, go to Menu > Backup & Restore > Select “Full Import” > Target “Internal Memory” > Select the backup file

All your data (vehicles, refuels, reminders, etc.) will be restored.

Where are backups stored?

Backups are saved to your device storage. The default folder is shown at the bottom of the Backup & Restore screen. You can change the directory by tapping the folder icon.

Google Backup or Google Drive: what is the difference?

Older versions had a setting called Enable Google Backup. That is the Android device backup of your Google account, not a file in your Drive folder. It is still there and still free: Settings > Data & Backup > Google Android Backup (the switch is only active while local backup is enabled). Backing up directly into your Google Drive folder is new in version 3 and part of PRO+. A lifetime PRO licence (Pro Key) equals the PRO plan: local backup, Google Android Backup and Dropbox.
