Comments on Samsung Flow for Android

★★★★★ Gil P · Aug 21, 2026
Bring back Dex for Android 15... please, please. Link to W... is awful and will never compare to Dex.
★★★★★ Bipin Kishore · Oct 25, 2025
Excellent file transfer app for mobile to windows. Very convenient. Please don't discontinue this app. Better than any of the other similar apps.
★★★★★ Nat Status · Sep 16, 2026
I love that app. Now I can just download it on my phone and cast to any Samsung device, so I can use any app while my phone’s in my pocket. Even better, I can use my back camera to see myself on my tablet while I'm filming.
★★☆☆☆ Accuface2000 · Apr 2, 2026
It's only useful for transferring files between devices via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Otherwise, it's a pointless app. There is no option for usb cable connect, which is very bizarre. I only installed this app because Samsung PC suite doesn't work. These huge corporations have garbage software nowadays which is designed to shove you to their online stores and apps. They overlook the fact that users have to work offline in many cases.
★☆☆☆☆ David W · Dec 23, 2025
Doesn't work. Or rarely works. Very rarely will a file transfer successfully. Usually it just times out. I just bought a patch cord, and now it's instant transfer. I had high hopes, but this is disappointing. Seems like a basic ask.
★★☆☆☆ B R · Mar 5, 2026
This app works ok between Samsung phone and Samsung tablet but it's useless between phone and a PC computer. It keeps dropping connection, it keeps asking to unlock phone for screen mirroring. It needs to be started manually. It is not a seeming less experience like on Apple products, unfortunately. It is not a good app, any it ruins completely the whole experience of using Samsung phone. Use it with a tablet z skip it if you want to link your computer and Samsung phone
