------------------------- Previously the #1 App worldwide in all categories according to applyzer.com! Thank you for your support. We have more updates coming soon! Also, check out Bluetooth Photo Share Pro! ------------------------- Transfer photos and/or contacts between two iPhones and/or iPod Touches over bluetooth. Requires iPhone 3G or later or 2nd generation iPod Touch or later (Bluetooth data transfer cannot be supported on the original iPhone or original iPod Touch due to hardware limitations). Does not require any 3G or WiFi connection. This is the best bluetooth photo sharing app out there, and it's free!! Here are some features that make this app stand out: - Unlike some other photo sharing apps, Bluetooth Photo Share does not scale down or do any lossy compression of your photos before transferring. In other words, the receiver gets the exact image that was in the sender's photo library. - Allows you to transfer contacts from your address book. - The receiver transfer screen includes a thumbnail preview of the photo AS IT IS BEING TRANSFERRED and a cancel button so that you can cancel the transfer if you decide you do not want it. - Shows a scrollable list of thumbnails and file sizes for all of the images that you've received. - Allows you to view your photo albums that your photos were saved in. - inApp Upgrade available Select Multiple Photos and remove Ads. We are also working on some great new features that we hope you'll really like. We have a website(in English):http://iphonemart.net. Also check us out on twitter at http://www.twitter.com/iphonemart ------------------------- Most of the time, the app works great. However, when people experience problems, 99% of the time it is related to connecting with bluetooth, which would be the same for any bluetooth App. If you have any trouble connecting, please check our support webpage for troubleshooting information. Note that if you are trying to transfer photos from your old phone or to/from your computer, there is no way to do that on the iPhone with bluetooth.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iTransfer at 4.1 against Bluetooth Photo Share's 2.2. iTransfer also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 38%) and ratings volume (215 vs 23). Bluetooth Photo Share's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
