### 1/5 — Unable to send videos

*2019-11-05, version 1.4.1*

Can’t send videos.  Pointless.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-04-08, version 1.4.1*

This app eliminated my ability to move or change app icons on my phone screen. Do not download this app. It isn’t worth the trouble it creates with other applications. I can’t even delete the app.  I would give it a zero or negative star if possible.

### 5/5 — Very Useful

*2015-03-14, version 1.2.1*

Love it really and also works with Bluetooth, i was waiting for an app like this

### 1/5 — Would prefer to give zero stars

*2015-02-05*

Crashes constantly.  Will transfer files but they refuse to move to any other app.  Should at least open a PDFs right in this app but even that fails. Save your money, don't buy this app until you see reviews here indicating that it works as advertised.

### 5/5 — Paul

*2014-10-30, version 1.2.1*

Worked like a charm!!!

### 1/5 — Can not connect from my windows PC

*2014-09-14, version 1.2.1*

Sometimes it can not find my iPad on same network. The other times, it ask device code which didn't mention in document.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2014-09-13, version 1.2.1*

Solid app...works as advertised. I can easily share files with other iOS devices.

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2014-09-09, version 1.2.1*

First I am using old devices on the iMac side and 10.6.8 with a new iPad 4 which cannot connect to the iMac through iTunes at all.

I live in the wilderness, so iMac is not connected to the net except through tether.

But once both programs were on their respective devices they work like a charm.
Not sure about going from iPad to the iMac how to do that does not seem apparent, but to go iMac to iPad is a breeze.

### 5/5 — Mr

*2014-06-26, version 1.2.1*

Great app

### 4/5 — Worked

*2014-06-18, version 1.2.1*

It worked well however I would like an English version
