Per il suo funzionamento niente da dire. ### 3/5 — Really poor experience on iOS + Win 10 *2018-07-04, version 2.3.0* I used to love the Instashare’s iOS app + the MacOs experience, but those days are gone as long as I’m not a Mac owner anymore... On the other hand, I’ve been having a really poor experience on Win 10 + Instashare on iOS 11! This is a no go, I’m not quite sure where the issue lies, if it’s on Windows 10 or if it’s on iOS 11, but having paid for both apps ant not to be able to transfer files is ridiculous! I’m connected on the same WiFi as expected. ### 3/5 — Not working with MacBook *2018-04-06, version 2.3.0* It works wonderfully with iPad. It dies not even connect with MacBook or it says “can’t assign requested address” All systems updated. Apps erased and diwnloaded again. No issues between iPad and MacBook ### 2/5 — Why don’t you guys update this paid version!? *2018-01-26, version 2.3.0* This paid version is v2.3 while the free version is v2.4! WWWWWHHHHHYYYYY????? ### 4/5 — Bon Dieu que c'est pâle *2016-02-09, version 2.3.0* Il n'y a plus d'encre dans l'encrier. Certaines phrases sont quasiment illisibles. Un petit effort, please ### 4/5 — Fantastic utility *2015-12-27* This works seamlessly between my PC, Mac, iPad, and iPhones. Currently even better than AirDrop when Macs and PCs are involved. One star is missing because I wish I could send several files at once from iOS to PC (currently you have to wait for each file to transfer before sending the next). ### 4/5 — Lo vale *2015-12-16, version 2.1.1* Completamente hace su trabajo. Para transferir un archivo los dos dispositivos deben tener La app eso es lo único malo. ### 1/5 — Crashes after update *2015-10-29, version 2.1.0* Unusable after update. ### 1/5 — Was perfect, now broken *2015-10-29* Truly bummed. This was my go to app, and an essential part of my workflow, only to find it suddenly will not work. I had a previous session still open, went to use it, it closes. I relaunch it, it closes. The app is still open, yet spits me out upon entering it. Thinking it was my ipad uptime, I reboot. No success. Still the same loop. So I think, surely I can update the app? Nope. So I buy the ad-free version. Still nothing of any use. My only conclusion? My ipad must have updated the version of this app unbeknownst to me, as I cannot think of anything else that would have caused a sudden change in behavior/ performance. Absolutely disappointed. To any developers reading this, please reach me with a solution. I would gladly restore my prior praise of this app to its original glory, but I need your assistance. How can I restore functionality? can I downgrade to get back to work? I have no interest in upgrading my iOS at this time and running the risk of igniting additional bugs in other apps I've purchased. Please address this issue. ### 1/5 — instashare *2015-10-28, version 2.1.0* funzionava bene poi……….perche non provvede ### 1/5 — Geht nicht mehr *2015-10-27, version 2.1.0* Seit dem letzten Update geht die App nicht mehr ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Windows10 *2022-06-24, version 2.5.0* Könnte gut sein, nur läuft die Windows10 Desktop Version nicht… schade! ### 1/5 — Very poor instructions *2021-04-06* It is very hard to figure out how to use the app and your instructions are very poor. You click on the photos to send them and where do you go from there to text them? It’s not intuitive at all. ### 1/5 — Lausig *2020-12-06, version 2.5.0* Windows 10 App stürzt direkt nach dem Start ab. Raus geschmissenes Geld. Sehr ärgerlich. 👎👎👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — Не работает *2020-08-28, version 2.5.0* Ни на одном из windows-ПК не смог запустить программу-компаньон, чтобы воспользоваться возможностями данного приложения (из app store) ### 1/5 — Péssimo *2019-09-28, version 2.5.0* Extremamente lento! ### 1/5 — Refund *2019-01-31* Accidentally download the wrong app and was charged .99 cents, wondering if I can get my money back? ### 1/5 — App *2018-09-23, version 2.3.0* Really slow hardly connects with WiFi then disappears even with the paid version the only way I could get it connect is to pair my other device like iPad to phone with personal hotspot with data not WiFi then it connected grrrrrrrr ### 1/5 — Paid for the Ad-Free vers app, Dev never updates it *2017-09-03* Instead, the developer has updated the "free" version of the app instead, which has an in-app purchase for getting rid of the ads. This is ridiculous, early paid supporters get left out in the rain of a major 2017 revamp of the app, and are stuck with either staying with the old-2016 version or dealing with the ads of the "free" 2017 version. Suggestion: either update the Ad-Free version of the app with the same respective purchases, or enter the Ad-Free Paid users into the in-app purchases section of the "free Air Drop" version ### 1/5 — Ist sein Geld nicht wert *2016-05-05, version 2.3.0* Nur Photos, kein mp3, pdf usw. Das kann airdrop auch! ### 1/5 — Instashare *2015-11-02, version 2.1.0* Не работает !!! Обновился блин ,,,,,. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-10-18, version 2.5.0* Perfect alternative for Air Drop. Works very well as expected. ### 5/5 — Sehr praktisch, möchte nicht darauf verzichten *2020-10-26, version 2.5.0* Klasse ### 5/5 — DeskConnect died, long live Instashare! *2019-08-13, version 2.5.0* For those of you who are not familiar with the fact that AirDrop is sometime a hit and miss affair (and trust someone who has tried many ways to get it running faster and easier) I am delighted that there is someone like Lukas, who understands the fact that we (Apple users/fans) want an easy life and a fast workflow. I was a long term user of DeskConnect and this app ran flawlessly on all my devices including my MacBook Pro. However, this App has been somewhat crippled lately and last week it died altogether on some of my iPads and today even my iPhone is telling me there is an error with the App. I searched for a worthy alternative and found Instashare! And boy do I like it!!! It connects in seconds once you set it up and give it the rudimentary "Allow" this and that, and a transfer of a photo is as easy as selecting it, and dragging it to the icon of the device you want to send it TO. I installed it immediately on all my devices AND my Mac and so far I can't find a fault! And wait for this: today I tried and tried again to send multiple images and documents to my iPad from my MacBook Pro .... using AirDrop. And every time I wanted to transfer multiple images (5-10!!) AirDrop told me it “failed”!!! Well Apple - that is a big FAIL in my book in 2019❗️ So, as far as I can tell, Instashare is much faster than waiting for the AirDrop thingy to load and transfer anything. I'm very happy with this App and don't even feel it was expensive, as the convenience it will hopefully give me over time will undoubtedly save me a lot of nerves! Download and enjoy! Thanks Lukas! Keep this app working PLEASE for a long time and keep updating it please! ### 5/5 — Quasi tutto bene *2016-11-25, version 2.3.0* Salve.
