Comments on LocalSend: Transfer Files for Android

★★★★★ Sir Daniel Wigginbottom Fortesque IV · Jun 12, 2026

Local Send send flies from one device to another over local Wi-Fi, what good is that it can connect android to apple or windows without issues. The transfer speed is as fast as your local hub, so there is very little restriction on speed and so far it works without issues, and I would highly recommend it.

★★★★★ Jaswant Solanki · Jun 21, 2026

Absolutely the best app for PC to Android file transfer. I have no idea how I didn't know about this. It is so clean and efficient that it's basically a no-brainer if you want something to transfer files between your pc and android. Perfect.

★★★★★ Wrong Check Same · Jul 10, 2026

★☆☆☆☆ Uzair Ali · Jun 22, 2026

This was great app, even I recommended to my friends, but 2-3months ago the App is being unusable, it crashes when you select folder to share, now it is also not sending files and says you haven't granted permission 😕, which I already granted, please fix the Android app of Local Send

★☆☆☆☆ Amal Mohan · Jun 9, 2026

It was working fine earlier. But now as soon as I send something to my phone from my PC, the pc shows the transferring progress bar and the phone shows the dialog to open the file. The transfer eventually shows as failed on the pc.
