User reviews

Best torrent downloading app I've come across on Android. The binding is useful for those with VPNs. Makes it hard to have a whoopsie on Android. My only feedback is that the inbuilt selector for default save location is a bit limited and doesn't let me save to network locations.

Great performance and pretty good UI, which is also an insane feat because it presents all the information you need from a torrent client on a phone screen. I love this app and I recommend it to everyone who can't set up a Transmission+sftp remote.

The only Android BitTorrent client that you can bind the VPN with so therefore it's the only one I will use. And I'm so grateful they recently came out with an update after several years. I was afraid the best Android BitTorrent was abandonware. But nope, they're still working on it. Huzzah.
