1 ★ The first screen is supposed to offer 2 options (Wi-Fi or One Drive), however, it is not possible to scroll down the screen to access those options. Further, it's not possible to resize the screen to show the complete page. (I only know how the complete page should appear as I viewed in on my PC but cannot on an Android phone.) Without the ability to access the options on the very first screen, this application is rendered useless.

1 ★ Farce.... not on Marshmallow, Lollypop, WP8.1 or 10... in no combination does this do anything at all - except this: waste your time. But we learned in 2016 what Microsoft thinks of WP users... tsssk.

1 ★ It tells me I need a Windows phone for this to work. WTF. WHY WOULD I NEED THIS APP IF I ALREADY HAVE A WINDOWS PHONE. This need a lot of work.

5 ★ Works exactly as stated. Just be patient. It took me two attempts to locate the direct link. But I doubt that is the app. I am guessing it's the poor quality AP I use. Transferred 8000 sms messages without a hiccup. Glad I found this app.

1 ★ Doesn't work on galaxy s6 running marshmallow. Will not find a wlan ID or password. MS hasn't updated in over a year. This is partly why they are happy wallowing in 1% market share.

1 ★ What a complete waste time app is completely useless and doesn't at all as advertised. I feel taken advantage of and it was free.

3 ★ Attempted wifi xfr from Note 3. However Verizon detects the connection as a Hotspot and "checks for a subscription", then shuts down the virtual network if the feature isn't being paid for. Possible fix: create a VPN connection as FoxFi does to allow this to work.

5 ★ Maybe you don't know what your doing I just recently changed a moto G into a windows phone with active cloud storage plus I had 3D graphics installed with only 8g internal over 40 apps installed plus had about 1½g left. So don't give bad revues if you don't know what your doing ÷]

1 ★ tried to transfer data from nexus 5 running marshmallow to lumia 950, using the wifi option. WLAN ID is not showing up at all in both phones, making the transition as horrible and frustrating as possible!!!

1 ★ This app is no better at transferring to windows phone than my shoe. It's absolutely worthless, no longer in development, and just a waste of everything. Zero stars would be a blessing, one star just because i HAVE to

3 ★ Login to MS account does not work 2 factor authentication enabled accounts. It does provide proper error but says password is not correct which also not true. As a work around people can use app passwords but not everyone is going to do that. Please fix it.

1 ★ First screen: Let's get started. Nothing responded! Couldn't tap. Couldn't swipe. Couldn't select anything and couldn't go anywhere. Totally useless :(

1 ★ Doesn't account for screen size. Doesn't even provide a way to scroll down to show the bottom part where the options are located, rendering it useless.

1 ★ To echo what others have said, this app does not work. It can't/won't connect with OneDrive and fails to generate a sync hotspot with both the address and password fields completely blank.

1 ★ Clearly Windows Phone still hasn't got their stuff together. I circle back around to a Windows Phone I own periodically to check it out. Needed this migration to work so I could test it with my new jobs outlook servers. As a former Windows Phone Expert, I REALLY wish they'd get it together. It has such potential but Microsoft refuses to support it correctly and thus devs don't either. This app is evidence.
