Retrying." repeatedly, this was due to a code change made by Apple on a newer version of iOS. The bug has been fixed in version 10 which is available for download. Apologies for the inconvenience. ### 1/5 — App is worthless. *2026-03-13* DO NOT BUY **Developer response:** If you experienced an issue where it said "Failed to join other device's network. Retrying." repeatedly, this was due to a code change made by Apple on a newer version of iOS. The bug has been fixed in version 10 which is available for download. Apologies for the inconvenience. ### 1/5 — Can't transfer items from camera roll *2024-11-06* Doesn't work on camera roll items. Can't transfer any videos **Developer response:** Sorry, a previous version had a bug where it couldn't send LivePhotos. The current version should fix this. ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-06-28* Connection fails too often or takes too long. PC can’t remember destination folder and always asks for admin password ### 4/5 — App de transfert simple et efficace *2025-03-17* App simple, efficace, libre, sans pub ni collecte d’informations. Elle fonctionne très bien mais le QR code est difficile à lire, pouvoir l’agrandir ou le déplacer serait un plus. ### 5/5 — The best file transfer tool. *2026-07-27* Been using it for years on android, iOS and windows. Love that it’s free. Will donate when I have spare cash. Thanks for continued updates. ### 5/5 — Funtastic *2025-11-17* I love this tool and use it frequently. It's reliable, efficient and dead-simple to use between my iPaddington and various AOSP/Android devices. Just follow the ordered steps on each device bing bang boom, NETWORK MAGIC!! ### 5/5 — This app deserves best app of the year award *2025-04-01* Light weight, cross platform, smooth and easy just perfect and cherry on top is no ads❤️ ### 5/5 — It just works *2024-10-31* Works flawlessly. Using it to get data from my iPhone X and iPad 10th gen to my ThinkPad T430 (Linux Mint) and Computer (Fedora and Windows Dualboot). It’s a little bit annoying that it creates its own network all the time, but that’s the sacrifice I’m willing to make to get cross-platform AirDrop 😆❤️ another big plus is that it’s Open Source ❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Excellent tool! *2023-12-30* Thank you very much! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Interesting solution! *2023-10-21* I really like the idea of using ad hoc wireless hotspot to break the wall between iOS and android devices! And the file and photo transmissions work like a charm👍 I was just wondering if we could have a chatting feature such that the text as well as file and image transmissions can be done in an elegant way. Why not using telegram or WhatsApp? As a developer if I have an option that is truly private and safe, I would definitely use it. Great project anyway! Woohoo ### 5/5 — The app i have been waiting for *2023-05-23* A really light weight transfer app. And also gives freedom of saving directly to files app ### 5/5 — Finally! *2023-05-02* As someone who travels for work, this app has removed my biggest, most consistent obstacle at networking events. Couldn’t be easier to use- excellent! ### 5/5 — Finally can transfer between my iPhone and PC *2023-05-01* iOS is so goofy. I bought an iPhone but I have so much trouble transferring files to and from my PC. This solves my problem perfectly --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
