Comments on LocalSend: Transfer Files for Android

★★★★★ Wrong Check Same · Jul 10, 2026
This app is the best ever! I use it to send files between all my devices. It works super efficiently and fast, never fails. No ads, easy to use, just perfect.
★★★★★ Madan Shelke · Jul 6, 2026
This is the best app to share files . I was fed up with file sharing failures using other apps. I did google search, and it suggested this app, and it transferred 2 GB file in 5:37 minutes without any failure
★★★★☆ Arshia Afzali · Jul 8, 2026
Wow. Finally, a file transfer app that is open source, beautiful ui, ad-free, and most importantly cross-platform. But it is not perfect. Many times the devices can't find each other
★☆☆☆☆ Devious Terror · Jul 26, 2026
Outdated. Bad Android TV implementation. Button highlights are very subtle and their default placement is bad. I have to double tap down on remote just to see the highlighted button. It should also by default highlight the file received, so we can either open or install directly from local send
★☆☆☆☆ My Mobile · Jul 16, 2026
I tried to set this up two-way with my phone and desktop, three-way with my phone and tablet and desktop. After about 2 hours of trying I gave up as it simply does not work.
★★☆☆☆ Spprites Toon · Jul 23, 2026
The mobile hotspot connects to the PC but often fails to be detected—it's very temperamental. Even when it does connect, the speed is extremely slow, which is disappointing given that the PC supports Wi-Fi 7 and the mobile supports Wi-Fi 6E; it really ought to perform better. Otherwise, I’ll be forced to uninstall it. Please fix this issue as soon as possible.
★☆☆☆☆ Vinayak Patil · Jul 7, 2026
Can't open application on miui android 5.1 .miui 9 can't open application after completing action. Sorry to say its useless application if can't open
★★☆☆☆ Brave Kalilombe · Jul 21, 2026
5 stars for the app interface which is very clean Yet 2 stars for not sending anything to my TV. I always delete the app and download it again and again for some months now hopping one day this app will send files from my phone to my TV but all hope in vain. Good luck 🤗
