So I switched from a Droid X that was sadly showing its age to a Droid Maxx which I am getting used to but like a lot. Research tells me the best way to transfer the games I had on the old phone to the new one so that I can keep the scores, progress I made etc. is by backing them up using an App and restoring them on the new phone. Anyone have any suggestions on what back up apps work best?
