Batten down the hatches as ye friendly pirate is back to share another app review. Me hearties, ye know this bucko is a modern pirate, aye? The rest of the buccaneers in the ship are also up to date with the new things. We’re not your ordinary pirates! Har, har, har! We usually share files together, ‘tis why I found this app called SHAREit very useful and I’ll share what I think about it in this post. Splice the mainbrace me lads and lasses as I start with the review.
It’s Bluetooth on Steroids
Bluetooth is a popular way of transferring files from one device to another. You may also transfer data to and from mobile and computers using cables. Moreover, there are apps that you can use for transferring files using wireless connection. What if you don’t have a cable, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth? This is where SHAREit comes in. It lets you share files to other devices as long as they are within the range and they have the app installed as well.
Even if you have Bluetooth, you may still prefer using SHAREit because the transfer speed is 40 times faster. It’s also convenient as there’s no need for a wireless connection and it automatically detects the devices around. This means that you don’t have to through the process of pairing devices each time, which can sometimes be frustrating as it could fail several times. The app offers convenience as it’s cross platform so you can easily and quickly share files to and from mobile devices and computers.
It’s User Friendly
It has a basic user interface. Even if it’s your first time using it, it wouldn’t take you minutes to learn how to use it on your own. That’s how straightforward it is. It doesn’t have a lot of options, which it doesn’t need anyway. What’s important is that it does great on its main function, which is to share file; and does it fast. Aside from sending multiple files at once, it also lets you send to multiple recipients at the same time, which is something that you can’t do on other apps or on regular methods of transferring files as they usually allow transfers to one recipient at a time.
Thumbs Up
SHAREit is a free application so you wouldn’t spend any money downloading it. It’s also cross-platform and it allows easy and fast sharing of files among devices and computers even without Wi-Fi or cable. The app also lets you send multiple files to up to five recipients at the same time. It automatically detects the devices within range so there’s no need for pairing.
Thumbs Down
Some users report that there are times that the app would not work. There are also advertisements, which is often what you would expect on free applications. The recipient should also be within the range in order for the device to be detected.
The Verdict
While SHAREit may come with drawbacks, its benefits still outweigh them. The app works most of the time without problems so you wouldn’t have difficulties sharing a large volume of files to several recipients. That being said, I recommend that you try this application.
