Jon Nelson, I completely agree with you about the backup and restore. I've also requested this till I'm blue in the face and frankly, the responses from the developers were downright arrogant and dismissive. this is such a basic feature for virtually any app out there, and yet these guys are apparently incapable of providing it. the current system they provide using Google backup is absolutely worthless and doesn't work whatsoever. there are no options within the app itself for backing up or restoring. I recently had to factory reset my phone. before resetting I wanted to back up all my settings. supposedly Google does this. but did it? I had no idea. who knows when the settings were last backed up. and then after I reset the phone and reinstall textra, as expected, nothing restored from google. nothing. utterly useless and frankly I think it was a lazy excuse for them to silence the users who continue to request this feature.
it's so simple to implement. I see updates with all kinds of little features that I've never seen requested and that are marginally, if useful at all. yet such a glaring omission as backing up and restoring settings is omitted. What's worse is users who request this are either ignored or shot down. I just don't get it.
