Review summary

Users find eXport-it functional as a multimedia/file server with helpful features like WiFi hotspot support and good developer support. However, multiple reviews highlight frequent crashes, poor and unintuitive user interface, and excessive permissions that raise privacy concerns. Users also mention difficulty in setup and closing the app, suggesting a need for simplification and a guided introduction. Despite these drawbacks, the core server functionality is appreciated.

Pros

Functions effectively as a standalone multimedia/file server.
Allows friends to watch movies from the device during trips, facilitating easy media sharing.
Includes a feature to act as a WiFi hotspot, enabling connections without a traditional LAN.
Developer provides helpful and comprehensive technical support.
App's core functionalities work well despite interface issues.

Cons

Crashes on first use and instability issues mentioned repeatedly.
User interface is not intuitive, unattractive, and requires complete overhaul.
App requests excessive and privacy-invading permissions like making phone calls, location, and SMS access.
Lack of an exit button; app remains running and requires task manager to close.
Setup is clunky and complicated without guidance or a tutorial.

2019-10-24	A *****	Why would it need permissions to make phone calls? And I cannot stop it short of using a task manager when opened too, exit button does nothing and the app remains in memory. Edit: 4 stars because the developer gave me a sensible and comprehensive answer to the part above. Server part is good if quite a bit clunky to set up.

2017-11-01	A *****	Functional but unpolished. Great job, devs! Everything does work, but it feels like a beta. Menus need to be cleaned up and unnecessary options hidden away in an advanced settings menu. Also a guided tour that takes you from nothing to successfully setting up a server and all the way to downloading something from your phone to your computer using the server. All in all, great but needs a face lift and simplification.

2017-10-20	A *****	Remove the Privacy invading permissions. Don't tell me I have the choice of doing it. Take those permissions out the app; it's not needed. Location and access to my SMS messages are definitely not needed. Remove it for a higher rating.
