## Review summary

Switch Transfer Tool is praised for its fast and simple transfer of Nintendo Switch screenshots and clips without ads. Many users find it much quicker and easier than Nintendo's native options. However, common issues include connectivity problems, especially with QR code scanning requiring app restarts for consecutive transfers.
