incredible app

i never leave app reviews but this app is genuinely incredible, super simple to use, works flawlessly and does things that cloud subscriptions charge for better for completely free, never had any issues with it either

Good app butโ€ฆ

App seems to keep the data that gets sent even after clearing the cache. Only way to remove the stuff kept in documents and data is to delete the app.

Perfect software

Does everything it needs to do. Every time.

Fantastic app

Does everything you need it to, quick transfer of files from 2 devices. Now you donโ€™t have to email yourself to transfer!

Would recommend.

I genuinely think this might be the greatest app on my phone, I have been in heaven since finding it. Having an Iphone with a Windows desktop makes transferring files such a pain with no native ecosystem, and emailing photos is both tiresome and just not secure. This app just sends files with no hassle and no cloud, and itโ€™s completely free. 100% free in 2026. I am in so much joy right now you donโ€™t understand I would sell my soul to this app
