★★★★★ Aran eshghjoo · May 31, 2026

I 99% of the time don't review any app, but this app is one of the best, simple as fuck main upside for me was that I can easily hotspot share my phone internet to my pc, and if I need to send anything i just rund app and click send, and my internet works while im sending my files thanks to chat gpt who introduced me to this app

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ ANAS ABOUSSELLAM · May 31, 2026

Very practical app! Local Send works great for transferring files between my computer and phone wirelessly. No cables needed, fast and simple. Highly recommended!

★☆☆☆☆ Risha Barner · Jun 17, 2026

Useless stupid app just wasting time. After the whole transfer it would show error. No use retrying either.

★☆☆☆☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ 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

★☆☆☆☆ Himanshu Mehra · Jun 13, 2026
