Honestly, this app sucks. Someone sent me a bunch of files and this app was supposed to download them. It said everything was downloaded so I went back to the main home screen, assuming I could go back to those files or find them on my device when I wanted to view them, but the files disappeared the minute I left that download screen. They're nowhere in the app and nowhere on my phone. There are no instructions in the app either. Total pain.

We transfer was a brilliant app, I was able to send a big file through within a second. I've been struggling with this app for last two hours and can't figure it out. I don't even know what this app is for!?! Board...? What the hell is that?? My files still not sent. I think I have to find new app. Bring back excellent app!

It has always been a great experience to share pictures through this app to many groups. Just one time I faced an issue and it remained unresolbed. When the app asks something went wrong and retry, there should also be a feature to report because even after multiple retries it didn't work for that one folder.

Not user friendly at all - I've used this for the past year and each time I login I have to go hunting for where the shared files have been saved. Most recently, I can't find any of my old work on the app, just the newest folder I've tried to download. When I login to the web platform, there are all the pics. I feel like must be a simpler and less confusing way to use this app.

I really like the structure of the application. But the performance is really bad for me. I purchased the Pro version but it still loads extremely slowly to the point I give up. The web version works faster but it asks me to "expand my page" to view photos after a few seconds of use. This app has the potential to be really good if the developers would improve performance for viewing boards and all items. Or make the web version work better so I can delete the app.

Old version was perfect. Used it all the time. I uninstalled the new version after wasting time trying to figure it out. Just want to move multiple photos from phone to email. Why can't you keep both apps since they are completely different. Please bring back old app!

Can't make the wecollect app work right in my phone. I can build a "board" but when you press the share button you go in circles with no results. This is true for MP3 files as well as pictures. I've tried it 10 times it's only worked twice. I use a Samsung Galaxy 10 plus.

The old WeTransfer was significantly better and streamlined. They added a bunch of problematic features in the name of creative sharing which makes it cluttered and less useful than before. I loved the older version, and despise this one. I recommend finding a different app to transfer files. The developers broke this version.

from personal experience and from most of the actual users on here it looks like a miss with the changes of the app. -you changed the name completely so i have to remember than. -simplicity and ease of use is why most use wetransfer. a minimalistic process for transferring files professionally. -youve created too many steps now. once i have selected images and send to app, i know have to select again to transer. -mood board not needed.

1]This used to be a great App when the files were stored locally on your phone . 2] I could send Portfolios to professionals with great results. 3] NOW the App has changed to ' cloud storage ' . 4] NOW- People can not see the photos . 5] The App is dysfunctional. 6] It does not work most of the time . 7]I see the note below from Developers - thank you for this information . It SHOULD be on App. NOTE : I suggest a PAID VERSION [ONE TIME FEE $10 that functions WITHOUT USING CLOUD STORAGE ]

Absolutely disastrous! On iOS the app is kind of decent but on Android it's absolutely disgusting!!! It takes several minutes to load, full of glitches, I can't even save pictures in my phone, the quality is low. I need to take unclear screenshots of my pics!!! I hate it, it's a disaster!!! Update: we don't need new identities for the app, we need FUNCTIONALITY because it's literally trash!!!

I agree, I do not like the updated app. Having to create a board to share is annoying. I liked the old phone app for sharing. Please go back to the previous version! Update, we have now gone from bad to worse. Their new update to "Collect WeTransfer" is terrible on my android. Format has again changed, method for sharing "Board" is now more difficult and once figured out, I sent the Board I wanted to my own computer, tried to download the link and am getting "Error, unable to find board" message. Tried this two times, same results.

App didn't work at all. Several attempts were made to share videos and not a single one worked. Only one video successfully uploaded after many attempts. My suggestion is to use bluetooth to pair your devices together and click the share button on photos and videos. Super fast 1gb video takes about a minute. This app takes nearly half an hour and you still get failed downloads. If you're not nearby than goodluck. I'd suggest Google Docs or Bluetooth over this app anyday.

This app is terrible, clunky, and never works. It's like it's made from a different company than We Transfer, which I love. I shouldn't have to create a board to send something. But at least make that function work! Never works for me. 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. Maddening. Uninstalling.

To say the app is a disappointment compared to the simplicity of the web version would be an understatement. Boards take FOREVER to upload even on WiFi and there doesn't seem to be a way to cancel out of an upload once it has started. It is a heavy drain on phone resources. I will continue to use the web version but I absolutely will not be using the app in the future.

I had a great architectural portfolio on here with captions and high resolution photos. Now they have upgraded to 6.1 Collect and I have re-saved the photos. HOWEVER - the App does not seem to SYNC very well , it seems hit or miss. This does NOT inspire confidence to upgrade to PRO . I need it to work properly when I send a Portfolio.

As a creative professional I love everything about We. However, I rely heavily on curating inspiration for my work and creative process. We's Collect app massively misses the mark here. I'm find myself consistently returning to Evernote for reliability. Half the time Collect won't show images from links. It regularly doesn't show up as a share option on Android. It Syncs horribly. It's just a bad app. Disappointed I paid to upgrade for desktop access. Would love for We to get it right.

Used this for work after taking pictures of completed projects. I'm sorry, but what is this now? The app is now useless. Was simple and got the job done. There's absolutely no reason to take extra steps to ise browser version on your phone when you had an app that was one touch easy access. Simple solution would be to recreate the classic app and have Collect as a seperate entity app. Call it Collect by We Transfer or something of the sorts with a different icon

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. It's been really great, but the one function I wish was available is creating items that are just text. There is an option to paste things from your clipboard to create a new item, but you can't directly write & edit on the app which is unfortunate. I have mood boards and uni project boards, so I'd love to be able to add written text to them.

I use this app A LOT but am absolutely FRUSTRATED! I can add 2 files into a board and then it won't let me add anything else. I try uploading only pictures one by one, and it will just take me back to the same prompt instead of adding what I've chosen. 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. FIX IT, or I'm unsubscribing.
