Reviews for Samsung Smart Switch Mobile

Very good app and very functional to transfer data from one samsung to other. The only & biggest issue is with WhatsApp transfer or migration. This app fails to properly transfer the whatsapp data (specially media). I had to go back to traditional whatsapp backup to cloud and restore. Additionally, had to first delete the […]

Initially it was so annoying, and I was unable to transfer my data from S10 to S25+. The app was never run on S10 and it was kept saying “Reinstall Smart Switch from App store” – Whilst Samsung call it Playstore but the error keeps coming up and saying “Appstore”, and it was not allowing […]

What a Fiasco, who wrote this 💩tty program?#1 it doesn’t give you updates to tell you what’s going on during the transfer. GEN Z Programming at its FINEST.. &#2 Gets to a certain point, and doesn’t prompt you anymore, so you think that the phone is not progressing. ALSO #3 Didn’t transfer all the Apps […]

This app was good. Pretty much one tap and I was able to transfer all the data from the SD card of my old Samsung Galaxy A25 to my new S24, photos, contacts etc. even ALL the apps I sideloaded. It also transferred my old device’s folders, home screen layout, wallpapers, basically EVERYTHING. It’s probably […]

Failed to release or conflicted with Android Switch, causing 4 days worth of crashes. Tip: Do this with cable, not wireless. If your old phone has much on it, wireless takes a long time and you’ll end up with two apps & two phones fighting it out. I locked up twice en route home.

Terrible app. I had to set up two different Samsung phones this Christmas and it has been a nightmare. The first phone I eventually managed (after trying several times using both, the wifi and the cable option) to set up and transfer all the data from my Xiaomi. The second phone is a Samsung but […]

works well when the new device is a Samsung. However it appears to be no good if you’re switching from Samsung to something else. *Edit Well, my s23 ultra experience has been absolutely awful. The least reliable device I have ever owned, comparing that to a 10-year-old Motorola which is performing about equally, as they’re […]

Not optimal or time saving. You would think Samsung could do better with this app. Transferring the data from one phone to the other sounds good in theory, but if all of the former preferences, passwords, messages don’t go over, it’s useless. I have spent three days resetting all of my notification sounds, text messages […]

Samsung Switch is awesome! I’ve had a new Samsung for a while but have had a deep fear of the change. Had so much on my old phone that I didn’t want to lose. Finally decided to bite the bullet after reading about this app, although I was very skeptical. Oh my!! I used the […]

IF YOU LOVE BEING HACKED ON A REGULAR BASIS, THIS IS THE APP FOR YOU. Yes, you need a cable, so the tech challenges me. Yes, but what about all of that data that smart switch stores. I believe it’s the whole shebang, right. I have been hacked several times, and they usually use Yahoo […]

Constantly losing connection! I’ve used the app with a transfer cable and over wifi. In the wifi mode it won’t connect the phones half of the time and just gets stuck in searching mode. Once the phones recognize each other (wired or wireless) they will transfer about 30-50% of the data and then get stuck. […]

I purchased a new Samsung device for the holidays. My previous tablet had zero problems transferring my data. Unfortunately, that is NOT the case this time. I follow all the prompts, but for some reason, the wireless transfer gets to 5.4% before saying the connection is lost. I have tried numerous times with no success. […]

Absolutely useless. I have wasted a hour installing and reinstalling and trying to get it to work transferring from a recent Galaxy to a brand new Galaxy, again and again and again, and it literally fails every single time in one of several different ways. Sometimes it won’t connect at all. Sometimes the app will […]

This app did not copy from phone to phone. It was supposed to copy one Android to another Android it did not work. There was a whole lot of telling me the phones had to be charged to a certain percentage also, they gave you the option to connect via cables or wireless. I did […]

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, […]

Pretty good, but lacks a critical feature. I had no problem connecting via cable, and it was easy enough to transfer contacts, call history, and messages. I was able to pretty much duplicate my old phone, and that is where my major criticism comes. I want to transfer a few of my apps to the […]

Pros: Was able to restore all my files, settings, and most of my app data. Cons: Requires you to allow the connection on your old phone, which is difficult to do when your old phone is busted. And if you don’t allow the connection fast enough, it will give you an error and make you […]

I’m confused. It seems like I can’t use some of the normal Google data restore functions like restoring my messages, without using this app. It’s never been a problem on other devices. I like the Google solution. Not sure why I would want to put all my messages into a third party app to get […]

Edit: yes, obviously I used the app with a Galaxy device on the receiving end. I definitely would not use it to transfer to another device. — Despite the name, not very smart. It fumbles a lot and makes you do things repeatedly for no apparent reason. then best of all, it just completely fails […]

Could not transfer anything, contacts, messages, alot of very important docs from my other phone. I even tried using my PC, tablet, smart TV with the HDMI Cord and a few other ways. my problem is that the cell screen is completely black but it flickers when I plug it up. sometimes I can see […]
