★★★★★ Shubham Jangle · Oct 8, 2026

Literally getting upto 20 MB/s speed while sending data on 5ghz router. One thing sometimes on ios the app gets stuck on uploading large files, they appear a lot later and there is no loading state which says its getting loaded in app

★★★★★ Peter Richardson · Oct 21, 2026

Amazing and wonderful, brilliantly useful. I use it regularly to transfer photos and videos from my pixel 8 phone to my Mac computer. It's easy, intuitive, fast and reliable. I would happily donate to support the project, it's so good. THANK YOU !!! Edit: I found that there's a Donate option in the Settings menu. I have now donated :).

Gets better all the time. I've tried loads of file transfer apps for phone to pc and this is the best to date. After 1 day I sent the dev a donation.

✨✨✨✨ I love local Send so much. The only issue I have with local service the moment you exit the app everything freezes and eventually stops. If we can send while on backgrounds that will be very, very useful

★★☆☆☆ alchonost · Oct 8, 2026

It used to work like clockwork, now constant random errors even though nothing is changed on either device (e.g. between two android phones, android phone and endeavors laptop), around since mid-spring it's just a mess. It worked when I downgraded. Don't fix what's not broken situation strikes again 💔

★☆☆☆☆ Mr. Khan · Oct 4, 2026

Excellent app better than Bluetooth but if you forgot password, getting to know is a nightmare. No way to review or change the transfer pin
