What users are saying

1. Now I have to go to the actual website to send in my auditions because the app is too complicated now (& now it's moving even slower than the original.. the original was much faster to transfer files.. much smoother)! smh.. Thanks for the App tho, WeTransfer.. we would like to see it go back to being simple to use (don't mind the new functions.. just give us back the simple "Upload & Transfer" functions of the old App.

2. I have mood boards and uni project boards, so I'd love to be able to add written text to them.I had a great architectural portfolio on here with captions and high resolution photos.

3. Literally I just tried 10 times to attach two files and send it an email, and every single time I select the files, there is no accept or confirm button, and the app loses the progress of the action.

4. FIX IT, or I'm unsubscribing.I've been using this app a lot recently, to move items between my phone and laptop, but also to more easily group and store photos & videos.

5. The web version works faster but it asks me to "expand my page" to view photos after a few seconds of use.

6. My suggestion is to use bluetooth to pair your devices together and click the share button on photos and videos.

7. I will continue to use the web version but I absolutely will not be using the app in the future.This thing worked so great before they changed it.

8. I need it to work properly when I send a Portfolio.This app is terrible, clunky, and never works.

9. It's getting to the point where I have to send multiple links instead of just ONE, which is so time-consuming, plus makes it harder for the recipients.

10. It's been really great, but the one function I wish was available is creating items that are just text.

11. This app has the potential to be really good if the developers would improve performance for viewing boards and all items.
