Bluetooth Share Center 4+

I needed a way to transfer files from my cell-enabled iPhone with my WiFi only iPad when there was no WiFi around to use. This app using Bluetooth worked perfectly!

Use Open In in some other app to send the file to this app.
Open this app on both devices.
Select the file(s) you want to send and press the "Send to" icon in the top right corner to indicate you want to send the selected files via Bluetooth.
Select Receive on the receiving iDevice.
Confirm the devices on both devices to enable the connection.
After the transfer, use the "Send to" icon in the top right corner on the receiving device to send the files to the app where you really want to use them.

Enjoy!

Summary: This app is a file transfer utility and may exceed the needs of someone wanting just easy photo transfer.

My primary interest is to transfer with absolute minimum hassle sets of photos taken on my iPhone to my iPad. In a quick review of a few free apps to do this via BT, all have the same limitations. Assume you have set up to transfer iPhone -> iPad.

* The iPad apps do not store the profiles of previously accepted iPhones … you have to reconnect every time after you disconnect.
* The iPad apps give you no choice of which album to store the incoming photo … you store it in the Camera Roll and then have to go back to move it where you want it.
* The iPhone apps munge the sorting order of the source albums … you may have to scroll through long album lists to find the one you want rather than having them pre-sorted (or better still … pre-filtered) by intelligent criteria beforehand.

All of this being said, this app for BT transfer does allow you to handle files in addition to photos. Other negatives though are that it requires too many taps on dialog boxes on both the sending and receiving device to initiate a connection or to transfer files. IOW, you cannot have your iPad somewhere across the room and send a file from your iPhone because you have to tap the iPad dialog box to accept the file you want it to receive. Duh!

Really great app for transferring files from your iOS devices. Not just photos or videos but you can transfer pretty much any type of file through Bluetooth. This is a must have app since I am using a wifi only iPad and often have to transfer files from my iPhone when I don't have access to wifi. A real life saver. The developer is also extremely responsive to customers.
