Ratings and reviews

It was simple enough to use, but my transfer kept getting interrupted, and there wasn't any preservation of progress from the partial transfer; I had to start over from scratch each time. once it did finally work, i had to manually accept the installation of each app it had transferred, and again manually accept every update to each app - good from a security perspective, but tedious. it also needed to stay open to keep running, so i couldn't use my phones for anything else until it got done.

Minimal, fast and easy. Got a new phone with the carrier after I damaged my old one while traveling. The shop used this app to transfer from my old broken phone; I used it again to transfer photos from a burner I had picked up on the road. The app transfers all items of a selected type (photos, videos, contacts, apps, etc). I would prefer the option to select individual transfer items from a list. It also couldn't transfer several contacts it just said were "in the cloud," but couldn't say more.

Slow, fails transferring messages and apps. After the transfer shows as complete, the app skips the screen where you make it the default messaging app temporarily. There seems to be no way to make it the default, so no way to finalize message transfer. Apps also showed as transferring but were never installed. It is possible in my case that the apps were incompatible with the new phone because the old one was ancient.

What’s new

Completely redesigned with a new look, faster transfers, and improved reliability.
