ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Copy My Data holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Copy My Data has 2.6K ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Direct Transfer Contacts/Files's written reviews are positive against 25% of Copy My Data's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Direct Transfer Contacts/Files ships an update every 3 weeks, Copy My Data every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
