Ratings and reviews

Every time I sync there is a problem. Nearly everytime, there is a problem around the connection. Why would you open all different connection methods at all times then round robin? If it was a single connection then it'd be much clearer and easier to the user. I spent some time fixing the connection only a week ago; then it doesn't work this time again. It is beyond frustrating and I will give up on the app for now.

This is an improvement on the original version - it does synchronise a bit, whereas the original really was of no use. However I find it is not fully reliable at syncing large libraries, it only reliably synchronises smaller libraries. It struggles with my music library, this is on a Huawei P30 Pro, so plenty of CPU grunt and ram. The music library is just over 50Gb, it got there in the end, but afterwards it did not update changes such as moving files on the NAS, even after multiple re-sync's. As I said it is better than the previous Qsync, but there is still room for improvement. Basically it is quicker and easier to turn USB debug mode on, then plug your phone into your computer and manually sync things by the old fashioned method of copying.

First up: app is slow to load, even on an Android with Snapdragon 835. I can run games in 60fps but opening this app takes forever. Why is it called "Pro" when there is basically no other version that works? There's also no "Pro" version for iOS... The app doesn't sync automatically per default. You have to manually set the sync interval. It should ask you for this setting from the start. I tried re-entering my NAS password because it got changed. It is a real pain. Doesn't really work. How is it supposed to work? Sharing links works sometimes. Sometimes my recipients cannot open them. Maybe a limitation with more than just the Qsync Pro app. All in all, I wish it would be more user-friendly and polished. But this app has never been either. It doesn't deserve it's "Pro" status.
