    I really wish there was a pause function. I spent my morning trying to do a corded transfer and it was in the last few minutes when the battery in one phone ran out. (I don't have a cordless charger.) I wish it just saved as it went, and then since you don't transfer duplicates, if someone has to stop for any reason, they can just end it, retaining what's been transferred so far, and start a new sync to transfer any remaining stuff they couldn't before.

    Almost everything seems to have transferred. What apps could not, were listed. But there were unsatisfactory aspects to the process and results. A lot of data (photos, documents) took HOURS to transfer via WiFi/device sharing. A progress bar would be helpful. A direct wired connection wouldn't work. My file structure, including nested folders, was eliminated, which is especially problematic for the thousands of epub stories I curated. Photo folders were also combined. It's not rocket science.

    The most frustrating piece of garbage ever. It would get partway through, then display an error message saying the connection had been lost. They were connected by a USB-C cable! How could they lose the connection? I must have tried 15 or 16 times, no luck. The highest I got was about 35% transferred. Each time I restarted, it asked if I wanted to continue the transfer that had been interrupted. I clicked yes. It restarted the transfer from the beginning anyway.
