Between Android/Linux/Windows, I'm quite happy with Superbeam. QRCode for setting it up, then Wifi for transfer. I even use it between laptops, not just with smartphones.
- tim333 8y agoSays it works for Mac too. I may give it a shot.
- na85 8y agoIt's galling to see the app developer list "get rid of annoying ads" as a feature of the pro app. Is there a libre alternative?
- icebraining 8y agoJust seems honest to me. I would also prefer a libre alternative, but I could never find one. Some file managers have transfer, but none use Wifi direct or provide a simple way to connect, from what I've tried.
- na85 8y ago>Just seems honest to me. It is honest, but the developer is the one who put the "annoying" ads in in the first place. That feels like a real slap in the face.
- Buge 8y agoThe developer put them in because the developer needs money to live. I don't think the economic reality of needing money to live is a slap in the face. One alternative would be to only have the pro version, not the free version. But that seems worse.
- na85 8y agoOnly having a paid version seems more honest to me. An adware version that purposely annoys your users seems like a fuck-you move.
- Dylan16807 8y agoIt's not doing anything to be annoying on purpose. It's just a fact of life that ads are annoying. If they could use non-annoying ads, I'm sure they would.
- jakobegger 8y agoTried to download Superbeam. The iOS version is only available in the US store, can't download it in Austria. The Mac version requires me to download and install an old version of Java first. Not going to bother with that.
