I genuinely love this app so much. it's helped me in so many situations when I'm tryna transfer stuff from my friends on their iOS to my android phone. The UI is so simple (no unnecessary animations too!) and the workflow is so smooth and simple. My only wish is that the app was more widely used, cuz I have to tell most people to download it before we're able to use it. This is my favourite utility app. I'd give 10 stars if I could. and I'm glad it actually receives updates

Could you also check whether the app correctly handles incoming ACTION_SEND intents and processes the shared file URI? The app appears in Android's share menu and launches successfully, but the file sharing process never starts. It would be nice to have some debug information showing which IP address the application is currently trying to connect to. It would also be great if IPv6 support could be toggled on and off.

I've been downloading apps for 20+ years. I don't ever remember leaving a review on any. I had to come here and praise this app. it's so easy to use. you can transfer images, audio, video, files, pretty much anything as long as you're on the same wifi as the other device. you can send things you've copied on 1 device, send it to another device then easily paste it on the other device. I use this app daily. they got this one right! this app is better than advertised. thank you, local send.
