I'm giving it 2 stars in memory of what this app used to be. As it is now it only deserves 1. I've been using send anywhere and have recommended it to friends for years, bit it seems like within the last couple of months it has started to have problems. It will say a key has already expired even though it has only been in use for 1 minute, will only send the smallest file sizes (what's the point of using the app when I could text a photo of low quality), keeps stopping transfers, etc etc.
My experience has been poor. When I press "select all" of the audio files that I want to send to a tablet, the app freezes....not once, not twice, not three times, but six times, even after uninstalling and reinstalling five times. I have cleared the cache. I am not getting a code on the sending device, I am getting a QR code that leads to a TikTok app in Play Store.
OMG - This used to be one of the most amazing apps around. Quick, easy files transfers with just a couple of clicks. Now, I just downloaded it on my new tablet, transferred some files, then couldn't get out of a TikTok ad. I had to literally Force Stop in order to reset it. I GET it ... Everyone wants to make money, get paid ... and you have the right to, especially if you have a great product. BUT ... as one of its first users and judging from what the App WAS to what it is, I am so sad.
This app provides a variety when it comes to transferring data and files. It performs as you would expect, although I have recently came across a concerning issue, in that when I send an album from my PC to my phone, some songs from that album won't make the transfer. It shows that they sent from my PC, but when I check the history on my phone, they're missing. Same when it comes to receiving pictures, some are left out. This app used to work perfectly but not sure what happened as of late. I hope they pick up what they seem to have left behind.
I absolutely love this app because it's the one of, if not the only app that can easily transfer any files quickly and easily between all of my devices (I use Android, iOS, Windows, and MacOS) while maintaining all original properties and their full quality. Sometimes I have issues getting my iPad's history to refresh, but it's not even worth losing a star. I highly recommend to everyone and I've put several clients and friends on it as my go-to for quick transfers.
Tried other apps that work with http protocol, but this one is much easier, and no clunky web interface to deal with. The UI is streamlined, you can even send directly to another user/device by selecting the person without entering a code on the device. I haven't tried the wi-fi direct yet, as there hasn't been a need to do so, but there is an option. There is a PC version that's avilable from the Dev's website that allows transfers of files to and from computer to your android devices as well. This solution is very well rounded. I even upgarded to remove the ads in the app.
Not sure how it works but love it. My tablet never would let me bluetooth anything and this works perfect, faster anyways. Same thing with PC. Super easy to use, just open program on both devices, select what you want to tranfer and you get a code. You don't even have to point to where you want to go just enter the code and you can download.
Android file transfer just up and bugged out on me, forcing me to look to other apps for file transfer to and from my phone, obviously preferably ones that don't charge. I'm taking one star off because it was a little difficult to find out how to send files directly from one device to another- (I had to disable a couple things on my phone in order to do it) But very efficient, in fact, it is better than android file transfer in several aspect. Definitely recommend.
Send Anywhere is the perfect file-sharing app. It works across all major platforms, from iOS, Android, and Amazon Kindle to different operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux to different browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Its speeds are phenomenally fast, and it can transfer pretty much anything I drop in it. It goes a step further, categorizing my files (be they recent, photos, videos, audio, apps, or others). It even has a history, so you can see a list of all exchanged files
Great program. No problems so far :) I do have concerns that the number used for downloading could be hacked. It would be nice to be able to verify/ok the download once the request comes in. So, I send the link, the request comes in to download, then I ok. I send financial documents and that would be terrible if they were downloaded by someone else. So far, I love it!!!
The most easy and simple way to quickly send files between devices and to friends! Since I started using it, I totally skip out on options like dropbox and google drive. There's often no need to store data I am sending between devices on the cloud, nor do I always want to "login" on both devices, or go through the process of generating a shareable link. This app is perfect for avoiding all those inconveniences when one wanta a simple data transfer. Send-anywhere has never failed me. 5 stars!
Sadly, one of the best apps I have ever used simply no longer works. App no longer allows me to transfer images from my phone to my computer--every attempt ends in an failure/error. Devs say it's a server error--bottom line is the app doesn't allow transferring of images from one device to another, and is therefore now uses. Used to be one of my highest rated apps. I hope they fix it.
Simple & fast. Send whatever you want to another device. Very user friendly, straight to the point, & fast! The only "catch" (if you want to look at it that way) is the receiving device has to also have the app downloaded, but that's how the whole process is as simple & easy as it is. One person clicks the send button, the other person clicks the receive button & next thing you know, it's transferring, possibly already transferred & done! Great app w/ amazing speeds! Thanks Devs!
Did not expect this app to be as good as it actually is. I use it between an Android, iPhone, and PC laptop. It absolutely works between all three platforms and is ridiculously fast. You're not limited to your internet speeds, just whatever your Wi-Fi network is capable of, which is usually far faster than the internet speed. Ads are not too intrusive either unlike other similar apps. Bravo.
This app is, in a word, amazing. Ever had a couple of devices that just refused to communicate for file transfers, etc? Well, this little gem solves that problem. They have it on any platform I have needed, it's super easy to use, and it transfers files just as they are from point A to point B. Want to send stuff to someone else, just gotta give them the number key, they type the number in and download it no problems. Get this one, trust me!
Great app. Extremely fast. Even faster than when I've linked devices. Highly recommended. Update: It's great when it works but after lengthy use starts to flake out. It is probably the fastest data transfer app I've ever used, but reliability is lacking. If that improves I'll change by review back. UPDATE: No longer functions correctly. Have to select device every time used. Then sends into cyberspace nothing actually transfers
the only app that I can use to send pics and videos to someone's iPhone. This app is great, and I hope it becomes better and has better updates. there's literally no way to send to an iphone otherwise. its 2019, sending from device to device should be with a tap of the screen. instead we're stuck in a corporate war, that makes interaction between things really hard.
This app not only works, but works best compared to all others. Use it from within other apps, or navigate to what you want to share. Open the app itself, share to a "known recipient", it works, fast, simple, and easy. And you can back out or use the home key and do whatever you like while it does it! I've used it 4 all manner of file types, all directions, no errors. [This is not a video player. It transfers files.] Only drawback is accepting files to PC. Wish that were automatic. FIVE STARS.
I was having issues backing up larger videos (over 500mb) from my wife's iPhone to our windows computer. I tried another app which was ok, but only sometimes converted them (unplayable). And it was limited use before becoming a paid app. Then I found Send Anywhere. it is like magic. besides solving my original problem, we now use this app to transfer files between multiple devices (iPhone, Android phone, Android tablet, windows 10 computer, laptop). This app handles them all and it's very fast!
This app is good for sharing files across devices, including large files, and especially for bridging Android and iOS devices. However, it loses its convenience when you're required to keep the app open until the transfer completes! If you've got a really large file to share, that's a lot of wasted time waiting on it to complete before you can use your device. I will continue using it for now, but only until I find a better solution that doesn't eat up my time every time I want to share a file.
