### 1/5 — THIS APP IS TRASH

*2024-07-22, version 3.4.63*

IT DOSEN’T EVEN WORK FIX YOUR STUPID AHHH GAME

### 4/5 — Cool. (Fast) perfekt. Support gut

*2024-01-28, version 3.4.63*

Funktioniert einwandfrei, sehr elegante Umsetzung, unglaublich praktisch. Ich nutze diese App schon sehr lange, allerdings sind leider mittlerweile die Übertragungen (die sog. „Flicks“) kostenpflichtig(!) geworden. So etwas finde ich sehr schade und kontraproduktiv. Support ist freundlich und kümmert sich schnell um Fragen oder Bugs. Es werden weiterhin auch ältere iOS-Versionen (bis iOS11) unterstützt, wenigstens das ist vorbildlich!

### 4/5 — Ottima

*2023-11-25, version 3.4.63*

Ottima

### 5/5 — La migliore

*2021-09-11, version 3.1.41*

L’applicazione più semplice e funzionale per trasferire testo, file, foto, video tra dispositivi e computers.
Nessuna pubblicità o registrazione 
👍👍👍

### 1/5 — No longer seems to work on iPad 2

*2020-12-08, version 1.10.4*

A pity, as it used to be a good app, able to transfer almost any file type, not just photos.

### 1/5 — Security issues

*2020-08-19, version 1.10.4*

Seems to be no way to secure this so unknown devices cannot connect to my Mac. 
This needs to be fixed before I will use this again. Developer needs to improve this.

### 3/5 — Confused

*2020-07-12, version 1.10.4*

I’m so lost because my friends say there is meant to be a name well my name so I could find them on there but it’s not coming up so I can’t get anyone on there. I am very annoyed and angry and my anger issues are acting up and I don’t understand the app

### 5/5 — Fun

*2020-05-06, version 1.10.4*

Me & the class use it just so spam eachother during class, great to mess around with
