Ashampoo AnyDroid

Ashampoo AnyDroid is yet another solution for transferring data from your Android handheld device to your computer. Of course, the package comes with other features as well.

Data migration from one phone to the other is just one of them. Unfortunately, like in the case of many other similar apps, there's nothing innovative about AnyDroid. In fact, it feels as if you've already tried this product even if it is the first time you actually launch it.

While the looks of the application are not grim, the placement of buttons, the available options, as well as everything else will seem awfully familiar. The application is not original in any way. Still, taking into account it is a tool before anything else, it manages Android file transfers with ease. You'll get the job done, no doubt about it.

Unfortunately, you'll have to tinker a bit with your phone. You need to activate USB debugging for the app to work properly and that means unlocking the developer option on your Android device. While it is not that difficult, for some it may prove to be a challenge.

While the application can very easily be used to transfer files between your device and a PC or between two different devices, the application does have issues. When searching with the help of the integrated media downloading service, the application does tend to crash. It might not be a deal-breaker, but it surely comes to show that the application still needs a bit of polishing. Data transfers are indeed fast. Things are well organized. All files are placed in a specific category. The fact that all the moved data is SSL and 2FA-encrypted is also a plus.

Ashampoo AnyDroid is definitely an application that could come in handy in certain handheld to PC, or handheld to handheld transfer situations. Unfortunately, this app seems to be plagued by mediocrity and some functionality issues which do affect the overall user experience, even though the core of its existence remains unharmed.
