User reviews

Ummm, zero stars.

I can’t even get the app until y’all at least update to 15.1. Y’all are extremely behind for the iPhones and I won’t be having them type of problematic issues just lurking around on my iPhone due to your application. Fix it, I may be a returning customer, IF not, peace out! My husband (being an Apple Developer) and myself just dabbing my feet into it, apps like this are dominating and they’re gonna pass yours in time and I mean STOMP on yours if y’all don’t play, “Ketchup”. Lol! All In all, wish you the best of luck but it’s disappointing that y’all are this behind. *Tisk Tisk*

Copy from iOS to Mac?

I found your handy app while looking for a solution to copy text between Apple devices without Wi-Fi. I have been able to use Scribe to copy from my Mac to my iPhone, which is cool.

Am I correct in understanding that the app is only designed to work in that direction, or is it also possible to copy text from an iOS device to the Mac (which is really what I find myself wanting to do more often)?

Doesn't deliver

I was looking for a quick and reliable way to transfer images from my Mac to my phone. Once I figured out what I was doing (terrible onboarding) and I go to transfer my first images the software gives me a warning stating it works best for URL's and text snippets, not large files such as images.

Your description says your software can transfer images and it doesn't do it. Very disappointing and more than a little misleading.

I hate giving negative reviews but saying your product does something it doesn't is a big no-no in my book.

Not very useful

Can't paste from phone to Mac, so essentially worthless

Terrible program

I couldn’t get it to work to save my neck! Just a stupid program and I had high hopes for it.
