2 minutes worth of full screen ads that loudly took over my phone and kept that control for 2 minutes, I hadn't even had the app for 5 minutes. You didn't deserve a penny for my downloading the app without using it, and I won't. I just wanted to see what the pro version looked like before buying. The ad also took over my audiobook and paused it.

Works well other than the ads, they absolutely are terrible. I get a free app will have ads, but these ads are pretty long, unskipable, and back to back. Oh and other annoying things: - can't preview images in the torrent folder or bit torrent before downloading to device - why doesn't bit torrent just auto save where I want it to? I don't want to have to copy everytime Oh also notes for devs (if this information somehow gets to them)

New version is absolutely horrendous. Can't group delete. Added extra steps to do anything all to make it look prettier. I wouldn't have paid money for this i paid for the old better version. New version sucks really bad. Everytime i open this app i close it because the new version is straight disgusting. Like it's appalling. The new design is anything but easier to navigate. I hey less information more steps to complete or do anything horrible horrible horrible refund my money!

This app is great. You can torrent on the go, and connect to your computer to keep track of stuff over there. However, my main issue is that you cannot sort your torrents really at all. Id like to be able to sort by completed torrents, downloading, seeding, etc. but to my knowledge, you cannot. So, hopefully that feature gets put into an update soon, then it will be worth 5 stars.

So dissapionted. I adjusted my default folder, and the file downloaded OK, but can't locate the damned thing. The folder I created dosen't show up and a File Manager search turns up bupkiss for both file and folder. Also, short of Force Stop, there's no way to turn the app off. I'll watch my file on my itty-bitty phone screen and just delete/uninstall everything.

I love the PC version but the Android version is very bad. It spontaneously re-downloads old Torrent files without prompting, thus unnecessarily taking up space on the device and forcing you to manually delete the files you didn't want downloaded in the first place. Screen also turns black and won't work again until you restart your device.It also inundates you with ads, even when you're just checking file progress. I will be uninstalling and looking for an app from another company.

Every time there's an update this app gets worse. Intrusive ads make it unusable now. When scrolling down through torrents it occasionally asks if you want to delete one, you hit cancel and it deletes it anyway. I'm back here looking for another update because it wouldn't download at all. Restarted phone and now downloads are stuck at under 1 kbs, and no progress is being made at all no matter how long I let the download go. The new controls are terrible, and not well suited for touch screen.

Every update for the past 2 years has made this app incredibly slow in every way that it functions. When you delete a file it will glitch out, when you add a file you have to go to a different screen or app before it actually appears as downloading. When a file completes sometimes it will disappear and you'll have to restart the app. I've tried it on Samsung Flip 3, 4, and currently 5. Samsung S10+ and 20+ with same responses and issues. It gets the job done..ish, but man it needs attention

I wish I never updated this app. If I'm downloading a multi file torrent I can't pause half of them, others that are paused won't resume, the button to resume isn't even active on them. It was fine before this update, it's a nightmare now. Even worse is that it'll just start downloading files that had been deleted. I couldn't figure out why I had no more storage on my phones, then I see a notification saying 1562 torrents have been downloaded, many were just small files but it added 40 gigs

I understand an app needing to have ads to support itself and the staff who develops it. However, BitTorrent introduced ads that are extremely intrusive and interfere with my use of the app. No, I will not reward you by getting the "pro" version to get rid of ads. I will be finding an alternative with less intrusive ads and uninstalling BitTorrent. Such a shame too, since I've been using this app for years. Thanks, but no thanks.

Worst torrent download app I have used. It randomly freezes up, no option to download individual files, no option of changing the download files are saved, the inconvenience of which is compounded by the fact that if you try opening a downloaded file from within the app it opens a bare-bones media player instead of allowing you to choose a different app. Worst of all is the ads, which require you to watch the same 20 second clip again and again. Don't download.

The app works but has a long way to go to even be on par with its PC counterpart. Its got intrusive full screen unskippable ads that have caused crashes for me, forcing me to restart the downloads. The download speeds seem to be quite a slower than on my PC. Its UI needs improvement along with its basic and advanced settings. For example, you can't select a specific file location prior to download to doesn't really exist. Means you'll have to dig through your file system to find your download.

Excellent, smooth running torrent app. The player included has a playlist function too. While you don't need another app to listen, the ability to use an equalizer app would be nice. I tried several music player apps, but they failed to recognize the contents of the files, unknown why. While this app has an appearance very much like uTorrent, it doesn't freeze-up (not yet!).

Warning! DO NOT download this piece of trash app. WAY TOO MANY ADS!!! The ads take over the device and play in full screen for about a minute with the dumbest ads I've ever seen in my entire life. Then they pop up again intermittently while the app is running. There are far better alternatives with higher ratings and more downloads available. Sad because I used BitTorrent on my PC for a decade, and now this crappy app disappoints in every way possible.

One of the best peer file sharing apps available for mobile devices. I do recommend to upgrade to the pro version, because it just seems to work much more efficiently and it's just a one time small fee that also unlocks all it's features. Been using BitTorrent for years and will meet all your needs, plus more. I recommend this app to anyone looking for a great P2P or file sharing apps that is also useable on your PC as well. Great job on the application! Keep up the good work!!

Been loving this app for a very long time. The most recent update makes it look and feel so unfamiliar, as well as gutted. I can no longer pick which items to seed, restrict or separate. It's like they made this for beginners. Really, the absolute deal breaker for me is that I can no longer see what's seeding and no way to toggle seeds. The are so many options, it's not worth waiting for a fix. Thanks for the good experiences prior.

BitTorrent is the best. I've used it on my PC for over 10 years & the app is great for my phone & tablet. It's a little disruptive when an add blasts open full screen with no way to exit the screen for several seconds. But that's why it's free I guess. There aren't as many control options as the PC version & you don't want to seed on mobile data so be careful there. It's best to remove the torrent before switching to mobile data just in case. But it works very well.
