Ratings and reviews

It's like Simple Apps, but lacking more features than the Simple Apps. Basically a Jack of All Trades App, which features needs to be more fleshed out. 1. Needs better navigation when selecting the App settings, Storage, Work, Exchange rate. Not sure why command has to be entered. I understand the command-like interface is good for taking quick notes. But then it gets cluttered up eventually. 2. Needs more options when viewing media. 3. RSS is too basic and needs more functionality.

Brilliant alternative to $30 AnExplorer that takes privacy seriously. Bless this dev. I intend to test this on WearOS 6 and will update if it's functional for phone-watch transfers.

April 4 2024: Sometime ir fails to work and you can't se data on your laptop. I just restarted my WiFi router and it started working fine. or you can also try deleting apps restart phone and install app again but this mething only worked once for me. Feb 18, 2024: This is a wonderful app with wrong name, I have been service for mobile to laptop file transfer for a long time and tried many app and this is the best one.
