Bluetooth file transfer my old friend how did I live without you
★★★★☆Cylon Wright· Sep 3, 2022
The widget for this app is so good, I almost never even open the app. It makes it very easy to transfer small files via Bluetooth.
★★★★★Akis Theo· Nov 30, 2023
This app says exactly what it says it does It allow you to share files via FTP and more I mainly use the FTP, and it does what it says in the title this is overall a very good app for those looking to find an app to share files via Bluetooth the only thing that is not this app's fault but sort of Androids faults is that Andrew doesn't have a default FTP server, so they also have to download this app and since this app is so small everyone can download it it's around a megabyte really recommend

Best ftp for Bluetooth! My all-time favorite app since my first android phone. Sad to see dev left this project.

Complete garbage, the app doesn't do a single thing it says it does. I tried to use this app to transfer files from one phone to another and the app wouldn't find my other device no matter how many times I tried. Not only that, but moving around through your file system is also impossible. No matter where you try to go it keeps giving an error message and the file screen doesn't update no matter how many times "refresh folder" is pressed.

A security nightmare. I installed this to try it, and the standard settings then gave Bluetooth access to my entire phone. When I turned on the optional feature to at least prompt me when someone wants unlimited access to my phone, the corresponding Windows utility would no longer connect at all. A nice idea, terribly implemented. Avoid.
