Ratings and reviews

Smart Connect only allows transfer of files on the device, not SD card. the entire point of buying a phone with an SD card slot is to store your files on it - this app won't let you send or receive anything from the SD card. Motorola has been my go-to since the mid 2000s but it's getting harder and harder to keep giving them money when they don't update their phones or apps.

Many of the features aren't working because it says to update the app on my phone, but the app is up-to-date. Can't seem to find help anywhere for this. I cleared cache and data, reinstalled on my PC (can't uninstall and reinstall on phone), and restarted both devices with no improvement. I can get everything from my PC to my phone, but many things don't work in the other direction, including files, messages, and photos - all the important things! If anyone knows the solution, please help!

So before this app updated to whatever this is. I was able to easily transfer files and such from my phone to my computer. Now since it updated. I can't do any of those things. It kinda upsets me and wish they return the old ready for back. Like literally...you tap the file option. It doesn't work. It always says "unable to start activity please restart app" which I've done and same loop error. Seriously, if it ain't broken why did you have to mess with it? Edit: They fixed it in update.
