Great idea not the best
Not as good as it could be.
great idea
I like this idea, but should improve the performance
Feels good!
Trying it on both iPhone and iPad, feels great.
Nice app
This is a nice app but it needs work
Works ok
Not being a nerd or a geek I had some problems understanding how to get this app to link to my iMac. But once I worked it out, it worked fine.
Nice idea — flawed execution
The idea behind this app is great. Provide an easy way to sync files from your computer to the device without going through iTunes, and leverage rsync to do it efficiently. Unfortunately it suffers in reality.
* First, it requires initiating the connection from the device. I was under the impression that I could connect from the computer to the device but this was not the case.
* Second, you cannot sync individual files, only complete folders.
* Third, it fails rather badly at syncing a single large (550MB) file, repeatedly stalling out with no errors and requiring a relaunch of the app to close the stalled connection.
* And fourth, it behaves rather badly when attempting to display Bonjour services, to the extent that this functionality is unusable on any network with a sizable number of ssh services advertised.
If you're on a small network and you want to transfer a folder of small files, this app may be fine for you. But it simply won't do what I bought it for, which was to transfer a very small number of large files. Caveat emptor.
Edit: After discussion with the developer, I've raised my rating to 3 stars to reflect appreciation for a reasonably prompt response. I hope to be able to raise the rating again after the next update is released!
