## Review summary

Overall, reviewers cite fast, cross-platform transfers that work across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, and even Android, often without an account. However, recurring downsides include heavy, intrusive ads (even after paying to remove them) and disruptive updates that break exporting/sharing received files. Several reports mention reliability problems – transfers crash, large file limits, and even video corruption. A few users note overheating devices and difficult media retrieval, but many still find the app essential for inter-device transfers.

### Pros

- Fast and reliable transfers

### Cons

- Ads persist even when users pay to remove them; some users can't download
- Recent updates can break exporting/sharing received files and cause sending failures
- Reliability issues: transfers crash, large file limits cause problems, and some videos can be corrupted
