Summary

Today’s test review may turn out to be a rather brief one as the app I’m reviewing can only do two things: organize bookmarks and create backups thereof. It goes without saying that this doesn’t mean that this review will be boring or, heaven forbid, superfluous—quite to the contrary, as I’m guessing that a lot of you will be interested to know more about this app.


Download directly from the Android Market (the app only works in conjunction with the Android Browser).
 

Features & Use

Section rating:

Who doesn’t want to be able to organize their bookmarks? Well, I know that I'm game and this app and its integrated browser allow me to do just that. Furthermore, as mentioned in the teaser, this app can also do backups of bookmarks. This is how it works: Bookmark Sort & Backup creates a folder entitled /sdcard/BookmarkBR on your SD card. This is what will lead you to the BookmardBR folder. So, if it should happen that you lose your bookmarks for some reason or another – you lose your phone or press on a wrong button – you can go to this app, click on the menu button and press Restore. All of your bookmarks will reappear.


This app is only really interesting for those of you who are making use of the preinstalled browser, because Dolphin Browser and Opera Mini can sort through bookmarks without outside help. That’s why you can’t link Bookmark Sort & Backup to another browser: it just doesn’t make sense. However, my guess is that a lot of users have stuck with the preinstalled browser.


Bottom line:
The app does what it promises to do and it does it well. But, as I already pointed out, it’s only useful to those of you using the Android Browser.

 

Screen & Controls

Section rating:

Controls are simple and cleverly designed. You can view all of your bookmarks in the form of a list and there are two buttons shaped like green arrows, one pointing upwards and the other pointing downwards. Select a bookmark and move it up or down using the buttons.


The Menu button gives you the following options:


• Backup
• Restore
• Alphabetical sort
• Settings
• More apps
• Online help

Clicking on Backup creates a file on your SD card which will store all of your bookmarks. Make us of the Restore function if ever you lose your bookmarks. If you want to organize your bookmarks alphabetically just hit Alphabetical sort. Selecting Settings only lets you change the name of the file on your SD card.

Bottom line:
The app is clear, concise, and easy to use. You get the gist of it within a matter of minutes.

Works pretty well I'm satisfied with the app, but terrified of updating it. Too many people saying it's bad after upgrade! This is why I never check "allow auto updates"

Terrible Crashed on first run, perhaps because the app wrongly assumes that the stock Android browser is installed, which it isn't on my phone. I'm new to Android and I'm overwhelmed by how poorly skilled some of these app "devs" are. Google really ought to test apps before admitting them, as it seems that the devs can't be trusted to do so. Well, what kind of review did you expect? "Awesome" or "sucks" or the like?

Perfect Moving from HTC Desire to Samsung galaxy Note this little app was spot on. Thanks dev.

Great! With my EVO I find the need to do a hard reset every few months. The ram on this thing is so small and gets cluttered too easily. Finally found a solution to my bookmarks! This app brought them back in two seconds. No issues at all!

Fix needed Used to be great but no longer works after Android upgrade

Great app. Had to clear out my internet data as it was over 18 megs. Used this to back-up my bookmarks first, now it's back to just over 1 meg. Thanks

Quick & Effective Great littile app for making sure you don't loose your valuable bookmarks. (like I did before finding this app)
patrick, Mar 26, 2012
backup works as advertised perfect for me. That it would erase existing bookmarks on restore does not bother me at all nice app
jon, Mar 26, 2012
Erases current bookmarks when restoring!! Bad feature in my opinion. Good for rebooting phone, but not for transferring bookmarks from one phone to another.
Susaku, Mar 23, 2012
Great!!!!! Exactly what I needed ; thank you :-)
