User Reviews

LocalSend excels as a cross-platform LAN file transfer tool with fast transfers, metadata preservation, and an ad-free experience. It’s very convenient for moving files between iPhone, Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android, and supports clipboard sharing. Most reviews praise its reliability and speed, plus offline operation on a local network. However, users frequently report network discovery issues on local networks, unclear permission prompts, and media selection limitations, along with occasional transfer bugs that require a restart. Overall, strong cross-platform sharing with some caveats.
Pros
  • Cross-platform compatibility across iPhone, Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android.
  • Fast transfers that preserve metadata and use clear device naming.
  • Ad-free, no subscriptions, and generally reliable.
  • Works over local network without Internet (LAN) and can use Bluetooth when needed.
  • Clipboard/file sharing between iPhone and Windows adds convenient cross-device copy-paste.
Cons
  • Network discovery and device visibility on the local network is inconsistent, with devices not seeing each other across OS.
  • Permission prompts are unclear or misleading (which permissions to grant for folders/files).
  • Media selection lacks bulk options (no select all; difficult to select many; per-photo selection).
  • Occasional transfer bugs require restarting the app to receive more files.

Me encantó la app, súper rápida pasando las imágenes y videos, nunca había visto una app así, y si te dice que se va a demorar media hora, eso se demora, no más, muy exacta y rápida, pasa las imágenes con la calidad original intacta. Lo único que no me gusta es que si se interrumpe la conexión a internet, hay que mandarlo todo desde el principio otra vez, tal vez si cambiaran eso sería una app perfecta. Pero por lo demás no tengo quejas, cumple lo que promete.
