Ratings and reviews

Nice app easy to use. No it is not for beginners, but with a little learning easy to accomplish the end result. Just wish it could do direct transfer Phone to Phone and cut out the PC. Easy to achieve results, zip up the files you want to transfer, extract these on the computer, then select them all/what you want to transfer to another phone or even the same phone after a reset. Brilliant No Fuss

I rather like this app although it has what I consider a slight flaw: even though it's USB you have to have working internet to make the connection between PC and smartphone. But after you use it a few times it becomes very easy to transfer files from phone to PC. Never tried it the other way around, though. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. If there is a new version it could use a bell sound to indicate finished downloading. 😀

Like some others on this feedback board, I'm not one to write reviews of software because things change so rapidly. But I am so impressed with this small/resource-efficient piece of code that is so well designed and executed I had to write a review. I have an older version of Android 4.1.2 (after 18yrs of experience with software ... if it ain't broke, I don't fix it) and this little app installed with no issue, works out of the box with no issue (with various versions of IE, Chrome and FireFox browsers) and has a very easy, intuitive and well-designed user interface for all of its functionality. Great job by the developers! 5 Stars!
