01 Oct, 23 Update: Now crashes when trying to send files from within Warpinator. Can send files if the transfer is initiated from another program like Gallery or File Manager and choose remote target with Warpinator. Also can't set custom profile picture. Settings > profile picture results in a crash. Attempting to change Downloads directory now generates a "Your phone's vendor did not implement a required dialog..." Both features have worked in the past. Reinstall did not fix these issues.

For the first few months I didn't have 100% success getting the app to see my Linux computer or vice versa, but in the last couple months it seems to work all the time. As soon as the app is open on both devices, they see each other and I can easily transfer (copy) pictures and videos from the phone to the computer. I just long-press the file I want to share, tap the share icon, and choose Warpinator from the list. Haven't tried sending files from the computer to the phone, nor other file types.

Version 1.2 didn't work for me, but after installing 1.2.1 and restarting Android all is working smoothly. There are still a few rough edges, such as in Settings you can enable writing to a debug log file but there's no indication of where that file is or how to access it. But only minor wrinkles so far. And this beats the heck out of transferring via USB cable or FTP.

If it doesn't want to connect, you can force it to retry by tapping the button next to the status icon. If that doesn't help, version 1.2.1 also allows you to enable exporting logs to a file (in the settings). I would appreciate if you could send us the log via email or issue on GitHub.
