I looked at various paid apps., but there was always a catch with them. Then I found LANdrop. Brilliant 💯 👍 Two easy downloads, and no messy configurations or setting to navigate, it worked straight out of the box. And it’s free to use❗️ No damn rentware or expensive purchase options. Thank you to the developers. ### 3/5 — Good app but… *2026-02-08, version 2.8.2* 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. ### 4/5 — mov无法从ios发送 *2025-11-28, version 2.8.2* 同一个mov文件，大小5.77mb，ios无法发送给windows，反过来就可以，其他文件类型两个设备都可以互传 ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work for me :( *2025-11-24, version 2.8.2* I haven’t been able to transfer anything because everything I try gives a time out error after a while. ### 5/5 — It’s amazing!! *2025-11-22, version 2.8.2* Best file sharing app I’ve ever used. I want to recommend it to everyone. It’s so seamless!! ### 4/5 — ios26 redesign require *2025-11-13, version 2.8.2* インターフェースを再設計して互換性を考慮し、iOS 26の「Liquid Glass」スタイルにより近づけ、Apple MusicのUI/UX に類似させたいと思います。 ### 5/5 — Pratique *2025-11-09, version 2.8.2* Pour transférer les photo de mon téléphone sur mon ordinateur. Fait le taf et gratuit. ### 5/5 — Just WORKS *2025-11-04, version 2.8.2* Like the title says. App does its job and does it beautifully! ### 4/5 — jpg格式 *2025-10-24, version 2.8.2* HEFI 格式照片导出到电脑端 可否转换为jpg格式呢？不然电脑观看不太方便 ### 5/5 — FINALLY! *2025-10-19, version 2.8.2* iPhone is a pain in the neck to use sometimes, and simple file transfer is a MAJOR issue. LANDrop has sorted out the issue, and using the application will end the nightmare of having to easily access and move files between devices. This is the BEST application for the iPhone that I have ever had the pleasure of using. Thank you for your hard work and for fixing this silly little problem that Apple has created and ignored for EVER. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-09-19, version 2.8.2* Mostly use this to send things to my pc. Work without working WiFi too ### 5/5 — 增加接受内容的历史记录 *2025-08-15, version 2.8.2* 您好，希望有一个接受内容的历史记录，不管是文字，还是照片或者是文件。期待中… ### 5/5 — Exceeded Expectations *2025-08-15, version 2.8.2* Small utility but powerful. This app exceeded my expectations. Kudos! ### 5/5 — Works great! *2025-08-04, version 2.8.2* Worked flawlessly between iPhone and an Android phone ### 5/5 — Best Local File Sharing App *2025-07-17, version 2.8.2* I’ve tried almost all the Local File Sharing Apps available in the entire App Store, and this one stands out as the best I’ve ever found. Most of the other apps are not nearly as good as this one. The closest one is Local Send, but it lacks some features that are available in this app. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the developer for creating such a fantastic app. ### 5/5 — Bug / Error *2025-06-18, version 2.8.2* Hai there i can’t send the file to PC , my iPhone iOS 18.5, but i send from my PC to iPhone is good i can sent any files. Please fix it right away. The Apps is very good because the UI very simple ### 5/5 — Super good *2025-06-07, version 2.8.2* I can’t express my feelings how happy I am Apple really let us down. We can’t use a cable to transfer our files. The only thing we can transfer is photos if I want to transfer files, then I can’t they didn’t think of that. Thank you LANDrop team for saving us. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. ### 2/5 — Doesnt work on iphone 16 *2025-05-21, version 2.8.2* I tried transferring photos and videos from my iphone 16 and it doesnt work. When i try transferring to my desktop nothing happens and after awhile of trying it just says SocketException: Operation timed out. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working after IOS 26 upgrade *2025-11-24, version 2.8.2* after upgrading to IOS 26 my device is not showing on windows landrop application and also i cannot see windows device on ios ### 1/5 — First screen about new version 2 hangs app *2025-05-11* See subject. I cannot get past first page which is a warning to install latest 2 version. The version I downloaded is 2. Something. ### 1/5 — 平板点击“打开方式”没有反应 *2025-04-10, version 2.8.2* 没反应 ### 1/5 — Need v1 app! *2025-03-26, version 2.8.2* Need LANDrop v1!

Please offer options! ### 1/5 — I CANNOT TRANSFER IPHONE TO PC *2025-02-09, version 2.8.2* I hate it when I can transfer files from PC to Iphone but when I tried transferring files from my Iphone to PC, it was not working. Please help me!! I received a message like “Socket Exception: Connection Failed” ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2025-02-03, version 2.8.2* I used to love this app because the macOS airdrop feature on Mojave (10.14) was very unreliable. Unfortunately I had to reinstall this app on my iPad and it turns out it was upgraded to v2, which no longer provides a compatible client for macOS 10.14. So now I can’t even get the old version back, which used to work perfectly. I don’t really understand developers who break their apps like this for no good reason and abandon their original users
