Ratings and reviews

Very easy to use app. Can quickly send files from PC to phone. Only issues I find are using meshnet by Nordvpn. I always have to use manual connection (enter meshnet IP) on phone for Mint to show,and vice versa. Favorites list should always appear even when 'offline', both PC and mobile. No sending/receiving issues via Wi-Fi or meshnet, just nothing seems saved for easy reconnect, always manual (meshnet only)

Doesn't work on Android 12. Fails to even start. Used to work fine. Update: the fix is effective and this app works again, I am happy to say. Update: doesn't work with Mint 20.3. It connected this time, but couldn't send any data from phone to Linux box, although I did accept the permission request. The Linux box firewall is turned off. Update: Now it works. A couple of restarts of the app and the Linux box, and a phone restart may have done it. Thanks for your help slowscript.

01 Oct, 23 Update: Now crashes when trying to send files from within Warpinator. Can send files if the transfer is initiated from another program like Gallery or File Manager and choose remote target with Warpinator. Also can't set custom profile picture. Settings > profile picture results in a crash. Attempting to change Downloads directory now generates a "Your phone's vendor did not implement a required dialog..." Both features have worked in the past. Reinstall did not fix these issues.
