### 1/5 — App is broken

*2024-02-04*

Refund needed. The app is inert. There is just a shortcut to an apple support page and no functional buttons anywhere

### 5/5 — Transfer from Mac to iPhone 5S Camera Roll

*2014-03-11*

Don’t know why this app has not been reviewed before this, but it works exactly as I wanted… to transfer photos from my Mac computer into my iPhone Camera Roll. 1 or multiple transfers using Bluetooth. Instructions easy to follow. Highly recommend!

### 4/5 — Excellent app

*2013-05-15*

I spent ages trying to find the right app to transfer my photos from iPhone to iPad without iTunes and this did the job brilliantly.
My only criticism would be that it needs a select all button for transferring a large amount of files at once, but for that this would be a 5 star app

### 5/5 — Mr

*2013-03-20*

This is an excellent app.  Works superbly. Highly recommend.

### 3/5 — Only photos

*2013-02-02*

Will only let you transfer photos, not videos which is what I needed. Seems decent enough for photos but then iCloud already does that for me so I don't see the need for this.

### 4/5 — Photo queue

*2013-01-27*

Looked at other aps that do the same job.this programme is a little slow,but was easy to use.I liked this a lot.

### 5/5 — Does just what's needed

*2013-01-06*

When traveling in the outback this was invaluable. My girlfriend and I could sync our photos simultaneously which is a killer feature. Also I love the resume function. 
This is the best app of it's type I've found

### 5/5 — Useful app!

*2012-12-20*

Easy way to send photos to my family without using my data plan. Love that you can send and receive at the same time.
