  - 1★ 2026-10-05, Ey Jay (Flareon): bs app wont even allow you to transfer from a samsung device to other devices
  - 1★ 2026-10-04, j. i. swiderski: was not particularly useful for switching from my previous phone — but, more importantly, now that I've had this phone for a year and no longer need a switch app, there's no way to get rid of it. It can't be uninstalled, so it just sits on my phone, taking up space and being useless.
  - 1★ 2026-10-04, Gerry Judson: doesn't work
  - 1★ 2026-10-04, Patel Azeem: ¿¿¿
  - 1★ 2026-10-04, Jayne Finn: dont bother
