### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2020-10-05, version 11.1*

Absolutely crap!!!

### 1/5 — Ringtones

*2020-01-30, version 11.1*

Won’t transfer ringtones to anyplace useful

### 1/5 — FileXchange ; the first 5 minutes.

*2019-03-12, version 11.1*

Too soon to say... apparently all the suggested folders are empty.

### 1/5 — Yeah it transfers but....

*2016-11-18*

Only to the movies, pictures, and work. You cannot access any of the other files or directories on the iPhone if you want to manage your files. It is just a file transfer utility for files to specific folders on the iPhone. Not worth the money.

### 4/5 — Veji Buelg

*2016-04-27*

Rutunu mun stulum dastuetodlá us ulgü muduü  ut suprusculú durrumuspu ut luggrrrnsnpn ustlmmm.
Uptlccccccc!
Impeocaaabl!!

### 1/5 — Waste of Money & time!

*2014-08-30, version 6.5*

Application not working at all... Don't download... Crap app... Waste of money & time. :(

### 5/5 — Cydia

*2014-05-01*

Cydia

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2013-10-26*

The program allows the phone to time out and go to sleep in the middle of file transfers causing the phone to disconnect and stop the transfer in the middle.

when transferring a large file it goes so far and says the host timed out

Cannot view the files except within the application, i.e. you cannot transfer or view files to your video folder or camera roll, etc. without itunes which means that you do not need this app at all

Cannot rotate files to be viewed horizontally.

any call or message taken in the middle of the transfer stops the app and the transfer in progress.

### 2/5 — Nifty but flawed

*2013-06-12, version 3.3*

Transfer of PDF files from MacPro to iPhone is efficient. Huge disappointment  that app does not rotate to landscape and also does not allow for increasing font size and at the same time fit the page. Essentially PDF docs are too big for iPhone. Zooming into a PDF doc is useless.

### 4/5 — Wonderful so easy to use!

*2013-05-24*

It is a convenient app that is fast to use and won't just clutter up your phone being useless.  It would be nice if you could have the use of cellular data like 4G it would make the app a lot better and more versatile!
