The worst is that if both mobiles are connected to the same wifi then it does nothing and shows an error that your mobile sim is not connected to wifi.

Great app, not anymore for me. Very unreliable. Just lost a 2gb family video and its gone forever I was sending a bunch of files and 2 videos just cancelled themselves. I'd better use propietery software. File names with other english characters dont get sent.
