app doesn't work when connected to a VPN, gives an error everytime you try to connect to your Switch, but works if you turn it off. a little annoying but still a good app!

It's pretty good, but I do have one suggestion. Can you give us an option to send videos through regular texting as a link so it will be in high quality

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!

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.

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!

Scanning the first QR code works fine, but trying to scan the second one spams this message for me "Scan second QR code is not wanted. Just click on 'Tap to transfer', after WiFi is connected." But it's not there. Update: The "Tap to transfer" text appears after scanning the first QR code, but disappears when trying to scan the second one. Additionally, it doesn't actually save my images to my gallery. I had to send the images to myself through Discord so I could download them from there.

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

Only thing that gets this to 2 stars is the fact that is user friendly. It does nothing that it's promising to. I'm using mine in docked mode. There's no pinch zoom so you need to walk to the TV, it scans the first code and offers to connect to the network but never downloaded a photo. If I scan the 2nd code I just get errors.
