This is a really good app. It works as intended. And its much, much better than using Nintendo's transfer system. In regards to the adverts, they're not intrusive or get in the way at all. And I trust that the developer is wise enough to keep it that way. Highly recommended!

usually it works just fine but sometimes it loads and loads and loads for eternity and no matter what you do it just won't transfer pictures

I can finally give this app 5 stars. Initially I gave it 1, due to some agregious ad coverage and app functions not working, but now they've added a lifetime purchase, more features, and cleaned things up again. Finally, a fantastic, and true Nintendo Switch companion app.

Actually a pretty solid app. I use it to scout switch games sometimes and I can easily transfer my switch photos and videos to my phone. It does what it's meant to do and that's great.

This app has worked wonders for me, making downloading images and videos off of my switch lite easier. Unfortunately, I am forced to give this app one star as it has stopped functioning properly. Whenever I scan the 1st QR code, it says that it cannot download the data. No matter how hard I try and what I do, it doesn't work. I tried doing it normal way, using both QR codes outside of this app, and they worked just fine, so it isn't my switch. Please fix this problem, it makes the app useless.

An essential and seamless resource for details of discounted and upcoming Switch games. I use it every day. (I also find the daily updates of games on special a great resource for good games I didn't know existed in the first place).

Switzerland not present as a country. The subscription is pricy.

Okay, so first off - this is a major improvement over the default system to transfer media. Like the Dev mentioned, the way Nintendo implemented it was sloppy. Next, the main issue I see people having is that they're saying they can't scan the qr code because the camera in the app doesn't autofocus: all you have to do is hold your device a little further back from the Switch screen until it's in focus. You don't have to align the Switch qr code to the camera window in the app! :) Thank you!
