## Review summary

Users broadly praise Resilio Sync for fast, cloud-free cross-device syncing and easy setup for backups. However, recurring issues include mobile-to-desktop sync limitations, UI/UX inconsistencies and hidden features like sorting, and intermittent syncing problems such as pending transfers. Some mention NAS dependency and storage quirks, but the core feedback centers on solid peer-to-peer syncing with notable usability and reliability caveats.

### Pros

- Direct peer-to-peer sync across mobile and desktop without relying on cloud.
- Easy setup and generally reliable for keeping backups across devices.
- Fast transfers, including large files.
- Good for sharing files across devices.

### Cons

- Mobile-to-desktop sync limitations: iOS/iPad cannot sync with desktop, reducing cross-device reliability.
- UI/UX issues: incomplete features, unclear terminology, and a sorting bug that hides the date-added sort option.
- Occasional syncing hangs or interruptions (folders stuck on pending or transfers stopping unexpectedly).
