Snap Share 1.0.3.108
However, it's quite limited and it only lets you transfer items to other Android devices even if you're not connected to a WiFi network. It uses tethering or hotspot to create a network and connect the two devices together.
Sleek UI that comes with plenty of instructions
The app launches with a tutorial showing new users how to access all features inside the app and transfer files easily, especially between other Android devices. The app can't be used for sharing items on your computer, it only works on Android phones.
The receiving phone must have the app installed, you can share the app by sending a download link through Bluetooth or having the other device scan a QR code that would help to the app's Google Play page. Once the app is installed on both devices, you can start sharing files.
Transfer all sort of files
It lets you transfer all sort of files, like photos, music, videos, apps and other file types to nearby friends across devices. However, you can't transfer contacts or text messages. Simple tap on the item and share it instantly.
Transfers are done over tethering or hotspot, which means that it won't take up mobile data and you won't need internet connection to share your files. The app has some issues with creating a network to connect the two devices, so you might try several times before you can make it work. It takes a while to scan and detect the second device, so you'd have to be patient.
More features
Each device gets a nice profile picture on the network, you can change it at any time and even pick the name of your device. It keeps a history on received files, you can edit them at any time.
The app doesn't have a built in picture viewer or music player, so you'd have to use other files in order to view the files that you receive. It has a settings menu, the app actually plays sound effects and you can have it automatically receive files sent to your phone. In addition, it comes in multiple languages.
