AnyTrans: Send Files Anywhere Reviews

I got this for one thing only: to download all of my messages and free up some space on my iCloud account. Once I had AnyTrans on my computer and my phone, though, I decided I was going to buy it… How perfect, to be able to really control everything that goes on between your phone and your computer! They even had a one time purchase option. Which is great, because I despise the whole “subscription” model. Unfortunately, it kept crashing whenever I try to download my messages. I tried everything, rebooting, and permissions, changing output directories. Nothing. Since I had to make a back up of my phone first, this whole experience was a colossal waste of time for me. No matter what I did, crash crash crash. No thanks.

Got AnyTrans for both iPhone (7plus) and my Mac as an Google-search recommendation to assist editing my playlists on my phone. It’s been an incredibly frustrating rabbit hole where AnyTrans from either end fails to recognize devices. From the computer side, it said it could not recognize the phone and said I had to reinstall the entire phone, which I did, overnight. Upon trying again the next day it gave the same response; that it couldn’t recognize the device and I’d need to reinstall the entire phone —again.
Then from the phone side, AnyTrans indicates to connect phone to computer to initiate transfer of info. The phone was already connected and re-doing the connection only results in the same instructions. Awaiting tech support on these issues but there appears to be multiple levels down this rabbit hole.

This is a amazing software I have never seen before I transferred all my data and photos to another iPhone, before using AnyTrans , I had tried hundreds of other apps to transfer photos, photos were lost somehow or the connection stopped. I have never face the issue using AnyTrans . I recommend it to all my friends to use it. It is free and stable. Unbelievable. Super stable. There are photos quantities to show due transfer, accurate. You don’t worry to lose anything. Appreciate to have it.

I thought this would make my life simple because I have so many photos stored I needed to be able to transfer only few files here in there to my computer because the iPhone back up takes forever with the amount of data I have and a lot of times won’t connect and won’t back up. This is been six hours of frustration trying to get this thing to work and every time that I almost get it AnyTrans closes on my phone it keeps saying the connection of computer and device are lost and to check my Wi-Fi which they’re the same and to make sure AnyTrans is running on my phone. It appears to but then it’ll shut on my phone. AnyTrans is definitely glitchy. I feel like this has potential but right now it’s horrible

I’ve tried the paid mobile version and the desktop version without success.
The mobile version does not recognize the other phone running AnyTrans on the same WiFi network. I’ve switched WiFi networks with no success.
The desktop version gives me an error message that it cannot complete the process of reading the phone to perform a backup. I placed a ticket with iMobie and they recommended trying to backup using iTunes. What??!! If I could have used iTunes on my iPhone 7 Plus or iPhone 11 Pro Max to backup and transfer my data I wouldn’t need your app.
Save yourself the trouble and money and find another application to transfer data. I’m sure I will get the canned response from the vendor for this review.

It transferred about 30 videos with no organization. Just lumped them into two folders labeled “photo video” and “photo video (1)”. None of my 5,000 photos transferred nor did the rest of my videos until a license is purchased. However, I kept getting an error message when I tried to purchase. If it can’t process an order, I dont have much faith in the software. There was no option to delete after importing, so that is pretty worthless anyway. Plus, for the videos it did transfer, they would not open and the error message read that “the item was encoded in a format that’s no supported.” I transferred the same items the slow way over usb, and had no problems.

I upgraded to a new iPhone and needed to get my pics and stuff off my old phone before resetting it and sending it to Apple for trade-in, do I purchased this price of crap. I tried using it to transfer my stuff from my old phone to my new one, but it would not do it. After several tries I clicked on the ? mark in the program and was transferred to a support page but could not find a solution. Therefore, I submitted a request for a refund, stating my reason. Six days went by and I received no acknowledgment/response regarding my issue. I paid through PayPal, to find the email to contact the company for a refund. However, I am being given the run around regarding a refund.

Spent an afternoon trying to copy music from an iPad to iPod, ios 12.4 on both. Connected but “crashes” after a minute when scanning the music library (moves to background; stops scanning). Contacted support that gave me a link for log download instructions but the link was to a general FAQ page and I couldn’t find the download instructions. Tried using Windows as an intermediary but after installing AnyTrans it insisted I download their version of iTunes, then told me I need to manually remove the OEM version and install their version. I really don’t want to use iTunes because it’s terrible and the primary reason for using AnyTrans.

When I send a song to my email when using the share option,The album art and the artist titles are not sent with it. This is the reason I give this a three star rating. If it sent the album art along with the artist titles and no space marks in the song title itself, I would give it five. Any chance you could fix that?

I was the way to get media from the phone to the computer. Now they are putting their own "cloud" in the picture. scaan QR codes, Pipeline all your data through them. I could not simply get a video from my phone, to my computer,like I used to. It told me I had to run this app on the phone too. I tried it on my old mchine that uwed to simply transfer files fom macchine to machine. It's trying to do too much, and trying to m=be the middleman for your data storage. No ratings, no reviews. I quickly wiped it from all my devices.

Support had asked me to upgrade which I did 8.8xxx. Have been sending log files and testing different ways to copy over my old iPhone album and playlist. It’s clearly not tested and the development team have no tested solution. It’s been three weeks of back and forth not an inch of progress. Frustrating least to say. Using this app on iMac and iPhone. Engineer Support is terrible. Help desk is pleasant. Product quality down from a couple years back. Will seek alternate software.

AnyTrans does not work at all. None of the functions work. Click on any of those buttons or links in either desktop or iOS app and you get marketspeak with zero functionality or an error message that says you have to install the desktop app which I already did. I suspect there are hiddenspyware in my computer now. All the desktop app does is make you log in a half dozen times before taking you to a web page where nothing works either. Wasted an hour or more.

So after almost 12 hours trying to get my stuff transferred it waits until it’s almost don’t to state that my phone need to be reconnected. I never disconnected my phone in the first place. Then once I actually disconnect and reconnect it starts all over smh. All I want is to download text messages. I shouldn’t have to download my phones entire content I should be able to choose. But I’ll definitely be deleting AnyTrans as it won’t completely download it Keeps stopping. Don’t download it’s a waste.

I have this app desktop app for 2 years. It has so many awesome features.
Always hope to use it on my mobile phone. Now it can only move photos, videos, music, and files to computer. But hope it can manage more data in the future.
Good job!!!

I wanted to transfer text messages and call logs from a Samsung GS9 to a new iPhone. This program says it will do it but it won’t.

I will say that the Chinese developer was prompt in responding to my service request and tried to make it work. I ran out of time so they promptly issued a refund per my request.

Don’t understand all the negativity here. I use it often to move files back and forth from my iPad/iPhone to my pc.
Was pleasantly surprised that I could delete photos from my iPad through this ap when I couldn’t through my iPad provisions.

I had no icloud backup for photos. Had around 12gb pictures and videos that I needed to transfer to my iPad before moving on from an iPhone to #teampixel.
AnyTrans did it flawlessly while connecting wirelessly. It took a little while but it was 12gb stuff and thats acceptable.

I needed to get some photos that were saved on iCloud to my pc and this worked perfect. Was quick, simple to use and straight forward. Plus free and didn’t ask me for any personal info. Thank you to whom ever made it. I never write reviews but this one seemed to need one.

I didn't know AnyTrans existed before today! Wish I had found it a long time ago. Super easy to use, I had everything transferred in just minutes! Made my life so easy and less stressful worrying about losing priceless photos, contacts and videos.

I’ve been trying to move just my Favorites album to my desktop. I’ve tried several methods, which is to say that I know how to connect my phone to my computer. AnyTrans doesn’t know they’re connected, so I never even got off the ground. I poked around a bit to see if trying harder would be worth it. It wouldn’t be: it also doesn’t give the option to transfer the Favorites album. Other albums yes, Favorites, no. Deleting.

It is so time-wasting to transfer thousands of photos one by one from iPhone to the computer before. But now, using this app to do the transfer can let me transfer photos between iPhone, iPad, and computer, and the whole process is extremely fast. Love this ultimate data transfer solution!

AnyTrans is so convenient. I switched to a new iPhone xr, but saved a lot of files on my old phone. The iTunes is too cumbersome and slow to transfer the photos to my new iPhone. this app helps me move all my files to my iPhone xr in five minutes, without using my mac. Fast file transfer software. I love it!!!

I have tried iTunes to copy the files on my old iPhone 5s to my windows 10, but the transmission filed all the time. And i meet this app, it complete the transfer process in just 3 minutes, so amazing. : ) I think I have to recommend it to you. If you want to do a fast file transfer, try this app.

Very easy to use, although it costs! I compared other software of the same type, this app is relatively low-priced and full-featured. Hope the developers can update more useful functions later. I really like the media download function, and it would be better if they can optimize its download speed.

This is my favourite app to transfer files across multiple devices. Especially between my PC and my iPhone, it works great as a file transfer app. I no longer have to upload them to Google drive, or send them through email. Thanks!

Worked for me! Very nice tool! It transferred all my pics to my new iphone in few minutes from my mac, and no pics were lost. Just like imobie says : Transfer Files to Anywhere. But, at first, i kept having issues with connection and having to start over. Anyway, thanks this app.
