What's New in Warpinator

1.1

May 30, 2025

- Refactor of connection functionality should result in better connection, reconnection & stability. - UI for manually accepting transfers has been reworked, you can now initiate a transfer from the transfer list itself - If, for some reason, the devices can see each other but are not connecting right away, you can try refreshing the device-detection by tapping "Warpinator" on the main screen - Compression is now enabled - Fixed a memory leak causing crashes when receiving large files. Still investigating a similar, different memory leak that causes crashes when sending large files ( >2GB) - Fixed the "Overwrite Files" option not taking effect - Fixed an issue where starting up without internet access generated a faulty SSL certificate - fixed numerous smaller bugs Work is ongoing, but hopefully this will resolved some of the issues in the meantime.

Not working!

This app is just not working!
Crashes every time I try to use it.

Potentially useful... Potentially.

I decided to use this app because KDE Connect wouldn't work on my PC unfortunately. While with this app my PC and phone could see each other, this app would crash immediately so I couldn't even complete the transfer.

Rather unfortunate really. Perhaps more development is needed before it can be used. Neat concept though.

Still Not Working

I concur with the other reviewer, this app crashes continually and can’t context to my Linux PC at all. Given it up as a bad job and the pp has been deleted.

Does what it needs to but won’t run in the background

File transfer fails if the screen turns off on its own or if you go to the Home Screen

Potentially useful app

- Now works with Linux Mint 22.2
- Note the group code is case SeNsiTiVe, so be aware of that.
- I did have it fail when sending four, ~100MB files at a time from my iOS device to my Linux desktop. But one at a time seems to work fine.

Overall, a slightly technical app to get to work correctly, and could use some polish.
