User reviews

Works well! Appreciate the information video it pointed to at setup; otherwise, I'd be like the others. I do like the design of the app. It's clean. Really not a fan that it takes a click and long scroll to activate the Core feature, especially on a small screen, but it works. I don't plan on transferring pdfs, but I can see why it's a pain point for others. I would also like more transparency about what it can and can't do on the store page, both with/without premium.

What a con have to pay to do anything not even buttons work unless you pay

Absolutely awful.. I've used many FTP client/server apps before between watch and phone but this one is just unfathomable. Simply cannot get it to work.
