Backup option #17

It would be handy to be able to save the calculations done to then restore, e.g. on another phone. Thanks for the cool app btw!

Just to confirm, you mean an option in the app's settings to download the state (stored variables, previous inputs/outputs, degrees/radians and polar/rect, colour theme choice) to a JSON file or similar, and allowing the user to manually import the file on another phone? If so, sure, I can try to implement that soon[1]. And you mean Android app to Android app for now, not the web app, right?

I was wondering if there was some unified Android "transfer all apps' states to another phone" thing like Apple has, but from a quick look, I couldn't find anything like that.

And thanks, I'm glad you like it! Feel free to submit more feature requests or bug reports, it's helpful for me to know what people are looking for. I'm not in school anymore, so it's hard for me to tell what it might be missing.

[1]: hopefully over the next month or two. It shouldn't take much work, but I might not have much free time for a few months.

Sorry for the late response, I've been away for a while. Anyways, about the questions, yes, you got it all as I was thinking, also yes to the Android to Android question (I didn't even know there is a web app).

I believe there is actually, for those who are logged into Google, they can back up their apps and app data as this support page says.
What is backed up is developer configurable https://developer.android.com/identity/data/autobackup and by default it is enabled for all supported app storage locations.
So what I'm really looking for is a data export option, as you say in JSON for example, since only Google can perform a backup of app data straight from the source.

Thanks for being so open :)

No worries, take your time!
