## Review summary

User reviews show a mostly failed experience due to ongoing connection and transfer issues, especially after updates. Many users complain about expensive subscriptions, inability to cancel, and limited free transfers (only a handful of photos) plus lack of folder transfer. Support delays and updates breaking functionality worsen frustration; a small number of long-time users recall it being good when it worked, but multiple devices (Android, iPad, PC, Fire Tablet) fail to connect in recent versions. Overall, reliability and business model concerns overshadow earlier positives.

### Pros

- Easy wireless photo transfer between devices (e.g., Android to iPad) when the app functions.
- Longstanding app trusted by many users and used for years.
- Exists as a go-to solution for cross-device photo transfers when it worked in the past.

### Cons

- Frequent connection/pairing failures across devices (cannot connect, waiting for connection, code not working) and transfers failing.
- Expensive Pro subscription with reports of difficulty canceling or stopping payments.
- Free tier limits transfers to a small number of photos (e.g., 5) per transfer, hindering bulk sharing.
- No folder transfer support—photos must be selected individually rather than transferring whole albums.
- Bugs and feature regressions after updates, plus slow or unresponsive support.
