HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (177 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Errors during transfer

Used to be good, but now I get an error mid transfer every time. It’ll do like 50 then give me an error (while it sometimes continues). Not sure what to do, website support isn’t helpful.

★★★★★Oct 9, 2026

Very pleased works very well as described

★★★★★Oct 6, 2026
Rock solid app

I used this back in the day and don’t really use it anymore. But I do have family members who do, and it is still rock solid as it was when it first came out.

★★★★★Oct 4, 2026
Loved until it stopped working

I loved it and used it all the time. But since the latest version it has stopped working with my windows machine. Android phones work fine but my iphone will no longer transfer photo. All trouble shooting gas not fixed it. Very frustrating

★★★★★Oct 4, 2026
Beware

I didn’t know the free version transferred low quality versions of your photos and videos. I always like to see if an app works before I buy it because I have paid for too many that don’t work well and have no support. So I used the free version and just found out that it sabotaged all my photos and videos that I transferred and now I don’t know which ones were downloaded in low resolution and I have to waste a lot of time re-downloading all of them. I will be using a different app for it though.

★★★★★Oct 4, 2026
Excellent app
