Titanium Backup, (an amazing utility found on the Google Play Store), sometimes referred to a TiBu, has always been the best and MOST POWERFUL way to backup your rooted Android Device for quite a few years now.

Whether you were switching Custom ROMs, Devices, or just doing a general backup, Titianium has always been the perfect answer.

This application is loved by all who use it in so many ways. Users are more than happy to donate towards development costs and have great things to say!

Whether Titanium Track and Karamidas realize it or not, their application is in jeopardy of loosing loyal users. Functionality hasn't been an issue, and the developement has always wonderfully continued to fix bugs and support new versions of Android. BUT... There is something that needs to be addressed: The User Interface.

Titanium has been stuck in the Froyo/Gingerbread days (with adapted HOLO UI) for far too many years and we are with Android 5.0 right now. Along with Lollipop came Material Design, Google's new Android Design Standards. UI isn't just about appearance, as it can help users with multitasking and so much more. It has been proven that Material Design increases user productivity, <more here>.

Titanium Backup, as amazing of an application as it is needs some good intervention work on the UI. We ask the kind developers behind this product to bring in a Devloper with expertise on Material Design on board to work this out if they cannot do it themselves. They are on the brink of loosing users to the likes of Helium Backup, MyBackup, and Parcel Backup (the latter two already sport Material), all good backup alternatives nice in design, sadly however inferiour with functionality.

Tell Titanium Track that you want a modern Android Material Design UI that match Google's Developer Material Standards. This will hopefully make the application visually pleasing however easier in functionality.

The development team has seemed to ignore all messages regarding UIs. This is disheartening. They may need to get some new UI developers. If you are a developer and would like to help out, please send "nicksteron" a PM on reddit so we may compile a list to send to Titanium Track.

Users RAVE about Titanium's functionality (Check the amazing reviews on Google Play), however many start to be annoyed by the UI:

"Love this app but... This app is great but it desperately needs a UI overhaul. The interface has been the same for years, please update it to fit googles material design guidelines."

"We need Material Design sooooo baddd!"

"The UI is ugly, but it works."

"The interface is quite poor/"

"NICE BUT NEED SOME UI FIXING! Hey! This app work very smart to me and help me a lot. I love this app actually. But I think, the developer need to change the user interface to be more friendly. I expect that new user will think this app totally need a time to expert this cuz the UI look very hard to underestimate it. Thanks~! ^^"

"Please add Material Design!!!"

"I know everyone worships at the alter of Titanium Backup but the UI is nearly unsable and has not changed as far as I can tell since 1.6"

"I would really like Titanium backup to have updated design!"

"Even Titanium Backup has been updated to support 5.0 Lollipop, sadly there's no sign of material design yet."

"The functionality with this application has been amazing but the design ruins it to an extent."

"TiBu's UI is stupefying ugly."

"At a certain point, bad design impinges on functionality. TiBu is beyond that point, IMO. It's annoying to use and non-intuitive, and the fact its UI is so far removed from almost every other Android app makes it frustrating because you have to shift your mentality concerning how to interact with it."

"App updates to support Lollipop, still not even proper UI upgrade."



and sadly many more similar regarding the UI, although functionality makes users more chippy than kids on their birthday!

If this petition doesn't get the required signatures, we may never see what we hope for in the next versions, and may be forced move to other mobile backup solutions.

TL;DR?: Sign this petition to tell Titanium Track that you want Material Design and continued UI Improvements. We will try to get this to the developers and get something in action!
