App is gorgeous. But sadly, it is not working for me. 3/4 times, the Windows app doesn't detect the Android app or vice versa. Even when they both detect each other, file transfer doesn't work. And the app needs firewall permission, location permission etc! And the 10 minutes I had the app installed, 4-5 different popups appeared, asking for rating, sharing etc. Going back to ShareDrop.

It's totally unusable for me. Just says "failed to connect" as soon as I open the app, as well as every time I try to scan the qr code on my laptop. There's also a bug that doesn't allow me to rename my laptop's device name. I can't erase any of the preexisting letters. It looked promising, but its not really. I understand it's in beta and is inevitably going to have bugs but i expected to at least be able do something with the app. I do however, love the sleekness and appearance of the app.

the app looked promising. unfortunately it doesn't work on OnePlus Android 14. I gave all permissions, unrestricted battery, permissions to all files and so on. the app recognizes both devices. But as soon as I transfer something, it runs for 3 seconds and then breaks. I have a strong WiFi here and transfers are usually not a problem. Small files of 5-6mb break immediately. After trying it for 45 minutes, I gave up in frustration. It's a shame because I bougt a Pro version. Hope for updates!
