However, this app worked as advertised without any hiccups copying all 62 GB over. I did however have to delete the images off my phone in chunks from the PC app as iOS kept ignoring the delete command for the entire thing. But that's not the app's fault as iOS asked if I wanted to confirm the delete--it just didn't do it. But deleting ~15k images at a time did work. A suggestion to the devs: please separate the USB and Wifi connect options in the PC app, as when both options are available it seems pretty willy-nilly which one it will pick. I want it to be explicit. ### 1/5 — So slow. *2026-04-23, version 7.6.3* Tried to move a 45 min video off my phone to a PC. It just kind of transferred a few hundred kilobytes and sat there telling me it would take 3 hours. I can’t leave my phone open for three hours. Sorry. ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-04-07, version 7.6.3* Useless unless you pay for their premium nonsense. They think their product is worth $70 CAD, which is laughable. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Ерунда *2026-04-06* Все за деньги ток ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-04-04, version 7.6.3* Beautifully set out easy to use BUT it doesn’t last long before it wants money. And if your only transferring occasional photos DON’T bother ### 1/5 — Data transfer. *2026-03-31, version 7.4.10* Ddoesn’t work ### 1/5 — Платное приложение *2026-03-29* Хочет сразу переход на премиум ### 1/5 — На троечку *2026-03-21* 60$ за приложение? Вы серьёзно? Бесит архивирование скачиваемых файлов ### 1/5 — Free App Misleading *2026-03-16, version 7.6.2* App documentation indicated that I had 50 free items to download . I could not download more than 10 before repeatedly getting a screen to sign up for premium. This app will be deleted for good! ### 3/5 — iPhone update week of 3/10/26 broke WIFI *2026-03-09, version 7.6.2* I have been using this for over two years quite happily, and it suddenly broke with an update. now it is totally useless to me. ### 1/5 — iphone 17 personal hotspot fails!! *2026-02-27, version 7.6.1* Doesn’t work with iphone 17 says enable wifi- but iphone says it must be disabled to work with hotspot ### 2/5 — Can’t transfer music from computer *2026-02-22, version 7.5.4* It’s almost 90% useless for me ### 2/5 — It WAS perfect *2026-02-13, version 7.5.3* Until the recent update this app was perfect. Now it takes several clicks to get any picture to be selected and I find I have to reload often. It works but it is so much more frustrating than the smooth process it used to be ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-02-09, version 7.5.2* Why did I pay for this? It’s so glitchy and finicky. It’s far too temperamental to use. It demands the phone’s app start up first. THEN THE desktop app after it’s fully loaded. You can’t do it the other way around and if you don’t have wifi? It just won’t connect with the device. Lemon laws are in place for a reason. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hook everyone, adds mandatory fee. *2026-08-14, version 7.6.9* Predatory behavior. Switched to local send. ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-08-08, version 7.6.9* Only the 50 oldest photos are able to be downloaded? What a useless app. ### 1/5 — Not happy *2026-08-08, version 7.6.9* Your app should be able to detect or prompt me to allow greater access to my photos without spending a lot of time finding the settings option to make the change. I am not happy that you are now charging much more than your competitors and that you’re going to an annual rate. I am actively looking to drop you before the end of year. ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2026-08-08, version 7.6.9* Can’t do anything now without fees ### 1/5 — New update removed my purchase !!! *2026-08-05, version 7.6.9* I was able to use it without limit. Now it requires me to pay overpriced annual fee or $70 for lifetime fee ! Too expensive for this easy job ! It only worth $10. I removed the app. I will never use it !! ### 1/5 — Now unusable, Previously the BEST. *2026-07-29, version 7.5.8* I’ve loved using this app, and have recommended it to dozens of people, but unfortunately it seems that recent updates have lost previous purchases, and the now-nearly-useless desktop program is lagging/crashing. This will be dearly missed. I would consider repurchasing - that’s how much I liked it - but with not knowing how long it will last for, and with literally no direct contact information or social media channels etc, except a simple contact us form on their page, I am reticent to risk it. As their website says, they’ve been on the App Store for many years, and this was a truly solid and dependable app, but unfortunately it seems to have changed. I hope the devs can get it back to how stable it used to be - and with previous purchases not disappearing. But for now, $30/$50/$70 (it’s hard to tell, as their website has ZERO pricing information) is too much to risk a now seemingly declining App. It will be missed. So Long, and Thanks for All the Files. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2026-07-28, version 7.5.8* I have been using software for years . Within the last two months it’s been unreliable. Sometimes it works something it does not Let’s you select pictures but will not let you download. When I reinstalled app it want me to pay for new subscription. ### 1/5 — $$$ *2026-07-20, version 7.5.6* Stopped working, demanded $30/year. ### 1/5 — Just stays on 0% on some *2026-07-13, version 7.6.3* Most videos downloading it is just staging on 0% for over 10 mins. It’s only a 40 second video . I’ve paid 20£ for the year without even getting to try it first . ### 1/5 — Frustrating and slow *2026-07-09, version 7.6.3* Can only transfer a few files at a time. Painfully slow. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Iphone to Windows app *2026-05-15, version 7.6.3* This is the only app that is able to easily transfer my iphone pictures and videos to my windows laptop. Windows apps glitch out. Nothing has worked like this. ### 5/5 — Life Saver *2026-04-19, version 7.6.3* Great software, saved me time and annoying hassles of moving images and videos from my phone to PC. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2026-02-26, version 7.6* Update February 2026. After experiencing some issues with this app last year I updated this review to make note of the issues. The creator contacted me after seeing the updated review. They informed me of working to provide corrections to the issues. As of the newest update in 2026 I can now say this app is once again one of the best apps of its kind. It works extremely well, quick, and without issues. The creator even emailed me when the new update was available. I really appreciated that. This is a very good app. As a semi professional photographer having many years of image management experience I can honestly say this is one of if not the best apps available. The premium version is by far worth the price. Thank you developers for a great product. I hope it never goes away. Update 08/2025 It appears this app is no longer being supported. For the 12 months the app has been crashing after downloading 30-40 images. This requires closing the desktop version, closing and restarting the app, reconnecting and the resuming where you lest off. If you a couple hundred images you might need to go through this 5 or 6 times which is unexceptionable. I have email support and never get a response. Time to look elsewhere. ### 5/5 — Enfin !!!!!! *2026-02-08* Une vraie appli pour transférer ses vidéos sur pc . D’une simplicité sans nom… En+ vous pouvez supprimer directement vos vidéos (ou autres) sur votre iPhone après les avoir téléchargées sur votre ordinateur . Certes l’application est payante mais ça vaut largement le coup! Les iPhone user vous remercient! ### 5/5 — Latest version *2026-02-07, version 7.5.1* I received the latest version last night and what a revelation. I have been using simple transfer to shift files off phone onto the pc for the last 18 months. It is safe to say it was ok cludgy, never convinced everything was copied. However this version is amazing. Much faster to copy ( I am using usb ) and I haven’t seen it fail on me yet. Great update ### 5/5 — The Best *2025-08-16, version 7.4.13* Best app ever. One-time purchase and SO easy to use. Saves all my pictures with great options. ### 5/5 — Simple Transfer *2025-06-08, version 7.4.13* Fantastic program, very easy to use, excellent for transferring videos/photos from iPad to PC and vice verse. Will definitely upgrade, 10/10 ### 5/5 — great and clean app *2025-05-18, version 7.4.13* great, so thanks! It is the best share ios app that I used. ### 5/5 — Lovely *2025-02-14, version 7.4.10* So easy. Amazing to have portable memories. Thanks ### 5/5 — Old photos *2025-01-02, version 7.4.10* Really fast and easy to use i’ve had this app years and love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
