2024-08-01	Dean Tersigni	It does what it said it will do, but it forces to you watch ads during the entire process which halts the transfer. After you watch the ads and close them, it continues. This ended up doubling the time to transfer. It also doesn't load any of your apps, so you'll still have to do that manually. I've used better free transfer apps that use far fewer ads and so transfer all your apps. Not worth your time.
2024-07-09	Ralph Yingling	I took my phones to T-mobile to transfer my data from old to new phones. They used this Smart Transfer app & after 1-1/2 hours of downloading and 12+ hours remaining to complete download, I had to leave. When I got home, I had to restart everything because none of the data from the 1-1/2 hours in the store was downloaded & saved. I have repeatedly tried to re-download 12+ times but so many ads pop up during the process. If an ad plays, it seems to stop the downloading and a download error shows.
2024-06-14	Essan	This is ridiculous, that during the transfer, Ads are constantly are in one of the phones if not on both, which after wasting 4 hours of my time, it failed to complete making a clone. Even though there was several Ad during the transfer last uear, but it was able to clone two phones. But now, because of numerous Ads it impossible.to make a clone. Literally. I no longer recommend this app. It's just a time wasting.
2023-12-03	David Darknell	Functionality works, which is great. But the ads get in the way of everything. I would gladly pay a reasonable sum to make them go away! Make sure your wifi doesn't fluctuate, the app will claim it lost its network connection, and you'll get to watch ads on both devices for a minute or 2 before you can try again, and again. And again..
2023-07-08	O. D.	Worked very well. Data moved over without too much strife. Be advised ads will block the screen and require you to start over on a transfer, will crash if you transfer too much (do single category at a time for success), and app requires you to move files into its own new folder than pre existing folders. Overall it does its job. Recovered my previous destroyed phone's data to a new one.
2022-11-09	Joshua Hupp	Worked great! For whatever reason my Pixel 7 didn't move all my photos & song files from my old Pixel 4. This app handled the transfer great. One downside is that you will see a short ad after each category is transferred so if you switch apps to surf while your wait, the transfer disconnects, so you just have to let it run and do something else. I am subtracting a star because it actually just copies your files over and leaves the old files alone. There's not an option to just cut and paste.
2022-04-05	Charles Evans	Easy to use app to transfer data from one fone to another. Edit: Unfortunately, I jumped the gun on my review. It appears that the system was transferred and the apps were presented on a list for download. Other than that, nothing else was transferred including the data associated with the apps. If that is all that is needed, then this app is okay.
2022-04-02	John Lund	Worked far under my expectations.. not only did this app make you watch a 30 sec ad for each category you want to transfer (contacts, photos, apps, etc.), but as far as the apps go it provides a screen showing each of your apps, which you have to click on EACH ONE and it'll take you to play store where you have to download individually. Samsung Smart Switch worked MUCH better.
2022-02-12	Philip Bearn	The app seemed to do a good job of transferring data from one TracFone (LG L33L Sunset) to another TracFone (Moto e6). (Both Androids). It ran smoothly and finished in under 20 minutes. The ads were somewhat numerous, but were bearable. I haven't had a chance to examine the transferred files yet, so I don't know how many might have been corrupted. In general I would say the app appears to have done pretty well.👍 UPDATE: Everything checked out fine. Next day ran S.T. on another pair. Went easy!
2022-02-05	Kathy Dodge	Simple to use, I would recommend. My only gripes are that it does not install the apps automatically for you, though it does bring you straight to the install page on Google Play, which is still more convenient than having to look through both phones and search. It also plays an ad after every category, so this is not a set-it-and-forget-it app, but it was much more efficient than one I tried that was Bluetooth based, so I'm not too bothered about that. It also doesn't move over texts.
