A bit overpriced IMO but generally solid performance
The iOS app doesn’t always see my Mac immediately upon opening the app directly, but it does show up within a second or two. However, it sometimes vanishes from view sporadically which is obviously frustrating when I need it to appear. But that could all be caused by my particular connection: my iPad connects to my home network via Airport WiFi, while my Mac is wired to my Time Capsule through a powerline adapter.
Combined with the iOS app and the iOS 8 integration with other apps, it’s a full-featured combination—but it costs twice as much for the combo compared to Filedrop (which seems a worthy competitor at $3) with a $5 tag on the Mac app and a $1 freemium tag on the iOS one (in order to remove the ads).
