Photo Transfer WiFi 4+

I needed an app for transferring photo files from an i-Mac to an i-pad. Several which I tried did not work satisfactorily--in one case, not at all.
Photo Transfer Wifi proved easy to use and transferred large numbers of files each time at reasonable speed. I liked the indicators on the computer to confirm that the files had been uploaded and on the i-pad to show when transfer to the camera roll was complete.
The app is free and works without hassle, so up to this point it merits 5 stars. However, it has one major fault. Although upload and camera roll transfer are fast, the files appear in the camera roll in random order, so time has to be spent rearranging into correct order. Hence the loss of a star.
One further point that many owners of Apple devices might consider. If all the devices have Airdrop--my i-Mac is too old--you may find this preferable. It may or may not be faster, but it will retain the order of your files.

After trying so many other potential solutions, this app has made transferring my photos so much easier. Other methods didn’t work, cost too much, or were completely unintuitive. Something as simple as transferring photos shouldn’t come at a high cost or as a subscription - especially when there’s no overhead other than the app licensing and development costs. I come from a technical background, I can safely that this app has got it right.

I transferred over 8000 photos from my phone to my computer; it didn’t take too long but I did have to transfer them in smaller batches (across multiple albums). They transferred over in exactly the same format as they were on my phone - unlike some other services that force compression.

Sure, there are a few bugs and ways this could be improved but it does its job so well that you can look past them. It would be nice to have more feedback of what’s happening and the progress of the operation - especially for large transfers.

So the app works really well and I love that you can send as many photos as you want for free, that’s amazing. However, I realised that on my photos app on the device that I saved the pictures onto, some of the photos in moments are the correct date when I originally took/saved them, but others aren’t. Originally I had downloaded the photos two different ways as I had gotten confused so I deleted all the photos that I saved the second way (clicking the little download button next to the album) and downloaded them again the original way, but they still haven’t appeared as their original dates like the others have, which I really love. I hope this makes sense and I hope you’re able to explain how to get them all the correct dates! :)
