### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-02-26*

Does exactly what it needs to and extremely fast. It’s so easy to use and saves so much time. By far my favorite way to transfer files from my phone to my laptop. And you don’t need to save the files you can just copy and paste to save memory. 10/10!!

### 2/5 — It keeps freezing and I have to restart computer and phone

*2024-02-05*

It’s so frustrating to upload a few things, one at a time otherwise it turns into a brick, and then eventually one of those things you try to upload also cause it to brick and nothing happens. So then I have to restart my phone and computer to be able to upload a handful of single pictures or videos, and then it bricks again.

### 4/5 — Good but one issue

*2024-01-24*

This works for me to transfer iPhone videos to my PC (not a Mac). However my biggest issue is having to delete the app and reinstall the app on my phone to remove the trails of footage that continue to take up all of my iPhone storage. Once I transfer the videos and clear the feed the files still eat up the space which cannot be removed unless the app is uninstalled. If there was an easier way to empty the app after using it, that would be a great solution.

### 3/5 — The concept it’s cool but the app…

*2023-12-18*

It’s a bugged out mess. The app crashes when trying to save videos to the device and now it’s started crashing when just trying to play the video. I got the app to be able to view my gameplay clips on my phone and share them, however that’s hard to do when the app hardly works properly.

### 4/5 — When it works it good!

*2023-11-20*

I been having a lot of problems with this app.
I take pictures on my iPhone and when I try to download to my phone I keep getting it failed.  If find more times it doesn’t work but when it works it’s great.

### 5/5 — Very convenient

*2023-10-21*

I absolutely love anything that makes the process easier and this app does just that. Simply download. Simple install. Quick results

### 5/5 — Besttttttttt

*2023-06-09*

This is literally the best app i have used for the past couple of months, the photos and videos transfers within a minute. I love this app alottt. I hope this app gets more better in future.

### 4/5 — Great App, but . . . .

*2023-06-02*

This is a great app and I appreciate the new update with support for multiple devices connected to PC.

But, I still have some issues. The biggest is there does not appear to be a way to clear the App’s cache. When I look at my memory storage, this App can grow quite big in it’s consumption of memory. The only way I’ve found to clear it is to delete the App, and re-install. The setting to “Clear All Items from Feed” does not seem to do it.

I presume, once I’ve transferred the file, and now have it on both my phone and on my PC, I don’t need the intermediary app hanging onto the data.

### 4/5 — Great app, But takes up MASSIVE storage

*2023-04-11*

This is an awesome app. I love it, it works great most of the time and is easy to use. Can’t argue with that.

My only gripe is that after using it for a while, the app takes up a boatload of iphone storage with god knows what. It currently takes up 18gb with its documents on my phone with no option in the app to clear that data. The app itself is only like 57MB so no clue where that GB is coming from. Only way to fix it is reinstall the app after the storage goes way too high.

### 5/5 — Very convenient

*2023-03-31*

This app is quick and convenient for transferring pictures from my iphone to windows PC and PC to phone. The only problem is that if I haven’t used it for a while, it seems to stop being able to transfer. But when this happens, I simply disconnect and reconnect it.
