5/5Amazing, free (donationware), as seamless as Airdrop but works with Windows
Desktop I use has Windows 10 Pro and my phone is iPhone 14 Pro + I use it on iPad (Pro 11in 3rd gen), all 3 have their latest OS versions, and the app works so smoothly and is very fast. I always had problems setting up other apps/programs of this type, the apple stuff would never communicate with Windows or vice versa, but setting this up on Windows and phone+ipad took maybe 5 minutes. I was finally able to send a ton of photos for from my iPad to my desktop, thank you so much for making this! It works very very fast and I’ve never had issues with crashes on any of my devices although I’ve only been using it (a good bit) for about 2 weeks. Really appreciate that it’s free / donationware. Everything else is really really expensive and/or a subscription service, which is so absurd and unaffordable for the average user who doesn’t need to transfer files 5-days. Also, thank you x100 for the ability to just copy/paste text between devices. That is so wonderful that it nearly brings a tear to my eye. Great work, thank you !

5/5LocalSend saved my sanity…
I’m constantly involved in activities that require the use of both my iPhone and my Windows PC, and being able to share the clipboard and files between both devices is a must for me. For months I settled with just using Notes and Files through iCloud web to copy paste what I needed, but this process was just way more tedious and annoying than it needed to be. Now, all I have to do is open LocalSend on both devices, and voila - my clipboard is shared easily and instantly. The app works with VPNs running on both devices as well (so long as local network sharing is enabled) which makes this app nearly perfect in my eyes. I would love to see some sort of widget that allows for even easier sharing between devices directly from my iPhone home screen, but that is by no means a necessity in my eyes. I rarely leave reviews but have been very pleased with this app over the last several months and wanted to give the developers their flowers. Keep up the fantastic work!

5/5Issue with Local Files
Great app but I wanted to point out an annoying problem that’s probably an easy fix. When I receive files the app places them in a “/var/mobile/…” folder. I can copy them to my local Files but they stay in this folder. There seems to be no way to delete them even from iTunes as this is a system folder. Even if you delete their history in the app they stay in that folder (you can see them in iTunes File Sharing). I see no path setting or clear button button of any kind in the app. The only way I’m aware you can delete them is by uninstalling…

5/5Works great
Awesome solution for getting photos and videos from your iPhone to Windows. My only grip is the media filtering is pretty poor, so if you opt to limit selected photos, it shows a warning that you aren’t granting it full access and covers up items on the screen. The native iOS photo selection is much better so I don’t like granting full access because I can’t find what I need. For example, I couldn’t find the videos collection when I granted it full access, but I could find it easily in the native apple picker. If they just remove that warning, it would really help.

5/5Way Better than Apple’s Own AirDrop Highly Recommended!
If you are like me and send images or documents back and forth from your iPhone to another Apple device like a MacBook Pro this is a game changer. Because I am a dev coding software developer, I run extensive testing and share images back to the MacBook Pro to show my AI tools issues or confirmations. AirDrop would constantly drop or fail to respond or couldn’t connect as the devices sit about one foot away from each other. I never have that issue with this app, plus I can install it on a widows device. Game changer! Best app of 2026
