Comments on SwitchBuddy: Switch Companion for Android

★★★★☆ Soup Lid Pot Ladle · Nov 24, 2024

Actually a pretty solid app. I use it to scout switch games sometimes, and I can easily transfer my switch photos and videos to my phone. It does what it's meant to do and that's great.

★★★★★ Nicholas Yee · Apr 21, 2024

We're waiting for the Switch buddy app to Install

★★★★☆ Rossouw Roux · Jun 16, 2026

It is a very good app that merges Nintendo today and the normal app in one, it is better than the other Nintendo apps that does a good job, but this does it better like getting the videos/photos for switch 1. 😉😁👌 Disclaimer the app is not perfect.

★★☆☆☆ James Craw · Jun 17, 2024

Only thing that gets this to 2 stars is the fact that is user-friendly. It does nothing that it's promising to. I'm using mine in docked mode. There's no pinch zoom, so you need to walk to the TV, it scans the first code and offers to connect to the network but never downloaded a photo. If I scan the 2nd code I just get errors.

★☆☆☆☆ Kami Gamez · Mar 14, 2025

This app has worked wonders for me, making downloading images and videos off of my switch lite easier. Unfortunately, I am forced to give this app one star as it has stopped functioning properly. Whenever I scan the 1st QR code, it says that it cannot download the data. No matter how hard I try and what I do, it doesn't work. I tried doing it normal way, using both QR codes outside this app, and they worked just fine, so it isn't my switch. Please fix this problem, it makes the app useless.

★☆☆☆☆ QB da Ghost · Aug 24, 2025

Softlocking POS can transfer one video only then have to restart my phone because it never connects to the second video....it worked like a dream on my pixel 2 I could stack 4-5 uploading at a time.....and runs like complete 💩 on my s9...... make that make sense
