We published earlier this week a applijst with 5 cool iPhone apps to just a little easier with your iPhone to go, we write today about Flick. This is a new handy application that fits in the series. With the application you can easily photos, documents and contacts data between various devices. The app is available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, Android and even Linux. You need only to wipe files. Connected to the same Wi-Fi network
We Flick (officially point out ) tested on an iPhone with three MacBooks have all the application installed. On the desktop, install the free application, the mobile app for iOS costs 89 cents and can also be used on the iPad . The devices have equal need to find each other and one of the Macs requires that even restarting the app in the system tray nestles top of the screen. In any application you see at the top of the screen, the devices that the application is connected and where you can share files. Go On the iPhone you do it by swiping horizontally. The various connected devices
Types files
You can send four types of files with Flick on the iPhone and iPad. Photos you shoot on the spot or takes your photo album is an obvious category. The second is that you get a contact from your address book of the iPhone. Then you have a pen ready for writing a message and finally there is an icon with dice. This comes and joking in the picture: a game of noughts and crosses that you can send – but that does not work on Macs
.
Options
Flick is not only the name of the app, but also the action that you perform in the app. You wipe files up towards the connected device thereon to bring the screen. You’ll also receive pictures and texts of others from top of the screen. You can address each file that you receive and klaarzet itself in different ways. With a tap you see the ‘Broadcast’ and therefore you can send the file to all connected devices. In addition, an auto-destruct timer on a file to have only temporarily to show him. Others Received files can share again with others, delete, save to your photo album, copy – but also used in the case of a picture as background in the app. You may otherwise receive more file types than sent: if someone a song or even a half gigabyte send large video file, which you can just see in the app
.
Improvement
Unfortunately Flick in our test sometimes suffer from lockups. In those moments you see for yourself and see receivers only a placeholder for the file you wanted to send, and you must send it to start again. Also, the current range of actions a little flawed and arbitrary in the app. Why could use a photo as wallpaper, but not assign to a contact? Why can not you put a car-destruct timer on a file that you broadcast, but only that you send personally? Further texts should be made more active. It would be nice if a link can open directly in a web app, for example, not just pasted text is that you need to bring back copy and paste to use.
The dominant idea is that Flick has a lot of potential. It works smoothly and because it supports so many different devices, it is really sharing with the right extensions and subsequent steps is a good way of files.
