ShareTo: Any Device 1.1.0.3914

Transfer files from your phone onto various devices that support QR code recognition and can access the Internet
Distributing photos, contacts and texts in a really simple manner can be done without having to recourse to cloud storage services or to attach them to emails or SMS messages. A special Windows Phone app makes this possible through the use of Quick Response codes, better known as QR codes.

Called ShareTo: Any Device, this utility manages to offer an innovative way of letting other people gain access for a short period of time to the content you choose to make public right from your mobile phone.

Easy to use front-end, without any adornments

The application has a very simple interface, void of visually appealing elements, but very practical instead. The well organized layout of this tool enables you to quickly access all the functions from the main screen.

There are no advertisements in sight, but a good portion of the screen promotes the premium version of ShareTo: Any Device, which is available for purchase and unlocks some extra features.

Upload and share files on the go

Operating this utility is a breeze, as all you have to do is basically make the necessary selections and the app takes care of the rest. Choosing the pictures and contacts you want to share is one tap away, while in case you want to share texts, you can add a link or write down the passages in the corresponding box.

Once the "Share" button is pressed, the application generates a QR code that can be read by any application supporting this type of barcodes. As long as the session is open, the files will be available directly from your device, but once you tap "I am done", sharing those items will no longer be possible.

Hits & Misses

hits

  • the files remain in their original location and do not have to be uploaded onto third-party storage services
  • very light on system resources

misses

  • unattractive interface, with a big promotional banner inside
  • needs to support sending larger files and more types than contacts, photos and texts
Bottom Line
Design / UI5
 

The GUI may be practical and easy to use, but it doesn't have a single element of design that stands out a little bit to catch the eye of the user. Also, the large promotional area for the Premium version is not working in its favor.

Function8
 

The concept is innovative and well implemented, so users can share their files in a very straightforward manner. It would be great if the app would be able to support more types of files to be transferred and with a larger maximum size.

Security9
 

The application only accesses the contacts stored on your phone, but this is part of the feature set so it should be alright. On the other hand, the app is set to send anonymous usage data and even if this option is disabled, it still transmits crash information reports.

Battery9
 

Barely noticeable while it is running, ShareTo: Any Device needs only a small amount of power and thus the battery usage is minimal.

Price9
 

Overall this app is a really good deal as it provides a simple way of distributing files directly from the mobile device. It loses a bit because of the limitations it has for file size and thumbnail preview, which are available only after a purchase.

Compatibility8
 

ShareTo: Any Device is available for all Windows Phone 8 and above handsets and it doesn't have any special requirements, so it will run on any device that has a standard WVGA screen resolution.
